Fan reactions to pricing

Fan reactions to pricing

Aberdeen fan Glen Schreuder says away tickets are unaffordable with rising prices and wants a cap.

“I'd like to see an away ticket cap. One of the reasons I don't do much away travel anymore is because it is becoming unaffordable with the rise in not just ticket prices but general prices.”

Supporters call for unity

Celtic fan Paddy Loughran urges fans to unite and hold league officials accountable for pricing.

“Fans should be in unison in trying to put this argument to the league. I think there should be a bit more of a unity here and making sure we are holding the right people accountable.”

Dundee fan perspective

Dundee fan Ethan Hampton says away pricing is excessive and Scottish fans should not bleed themselves dry.

“I really like how there is an away-day culture in British football. You want it to stay intact but how much more can you ask of supporters when they are bleeding themselves dry to follow their team?”
