Maybe... But why would the club want to significantly reduce they're income over a "long period of time" for a shot of somthing that may or may not work?
I totally agree that football is over priced. Die hards will pay no matter what. Fans that aren't willing to pay the price are unlikely to ever become regulars and while cheaper tickets will encourge more people to come it will never bridge the loss of revenue.
Yesterday was the perfect storm for a good crowd: Cup quarter final, not televised, no other major games on TV, beatable semi final opponents, two clubs who are main stays of the SPL.
Look at the last game we had with cheap tickets. The 6-6 hibs game. Remember that was a big game too (possibly deciding european football). Att. 6,241.
