Rangers F.C. have announced a 6.5% rise in adult season ticket prices as part of a broader strategy to increase revenue and strengthen investment in the men’s first-team squad.
The Chairman, Andrew Cavenagh said the move is driven by escalating operational costs and the club’s ambition to remain competitive on the pitch.
“Rangers intend to raise £16m of new capital in a share issue to fund investment in the men’s squad. As well as adult season ticket prices are going to rise by 6.5%. The costs to run the club, player wages, agents’ fees, security, food and beverage, are all rising faster than the overall rate of inflation,” Cavenagh explained.
He emphasised that boosting revenue is crucial if Rangers F.C. are to avoid scaling back investment in football operations.
“We either need the club’s revenues to keep pace, or we need to decrease the money spent on the squad. We don’t believe this is the time to decrease the player and football budget; in fact, we think the opposite.”
Cavenagh also recognized the strain on supporters but stressed that the club must manage the extra revenue responsibly.
“If we are going to ask supporters to pay more for tickets, we have an obligation to spend those funds wisely.”
In addition to the season ticket increase, Rangers F.C. plan to generate further funds through a share issue, with both measures designed to reinforce the squad while preserving financial stability.
“We are systematically reviewing every part of the club, looking for ways to be more efficient, thus enabling a greater share of the resources to go to the men’s first team,” he added.
The decision is part of the club’s wider strategy to boost on-field competitiveness while optimizing off-field operations.
