rudemedic Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 We have the 3rd most expensive 'cheapest' adult ST in League 1. Our cheapest adult ST is £325, City's cheapest adult ST is £299. That's £26 cheaper, which is over a game's worth at £22 per match day fee. Yet we wonder why our crowds are a bit low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm pretty sure the City season ticket prices are misleading. Mate at work is a City ST holder and says there are very, very few of them and are essentially singles as you can't guarantee sitting with son, dad, brother, mate if you both get one - they just keep some back as singles that are left in the gaps. So if you don't want or can't get one of the very few of them then the jump to the next price bracket is high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet we wonder why our crowds are a bit low. thats not necessarily true, to be able to buy that ST at £299 you must of already bought a ST at full price with the highest one being at £860, so if you had of bought the dearest ST and bought a second ST for £299 you would of paid £579.50 for each ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's £26 cheaper, which is over a game's worth at £22 per match day fee. Yet we wonder why our crowds are a bit low. Work it out per game. We get 23 games for our £325 _ £14.13/game, they get 19 games for £299_ £15.74/game, making them £1.50 per game dearer. An awful report. To compare Prem prices for entry/food etc with lower divisions is only useful to show that the Premier League is vastly overpriced. Prem dont need to charge extortionate, especially those in Europe, look at madrid/barca prices, they make money in media/sponsorship/player memorabilia. That Chelsea charge a minimum of £50/game is disgusting considering the money they have. Lower divisions (certainly league 1 & below) main source of income for a years budget is the ST sales & subsequent weekly ticket income, so to compete need to charge similar levels of entry to Prem teams, in the hope that the fans dont get blinded by such stupid reports as this one, which doesnt highlight the fact that matchday income isnt all that important to the big teams.

LaticsPete Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) And we got £65 worth against Peterborough Well those that stopped for the second half did ? Edited October 15, 2014 by LaticsPete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 And the other graph... fourth most expensive team in the league...? Not an exact science though is it - for an adult by himself fourth most expensive (for cheapest ticket), but if dad wants to take his young son it's an extra £50 for the season which is probably one of the cheaper in the league (based on gut instinct and no research whatsoever).

HarryBosch Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 That Chelsea charge a minimum of £50/game is disgusting considering the money they have. It is, but they sell out every week. Why would they not take that money from 40,000+ supporters who'll pay it? It's not fair on the thousands who would love to go but can't afford to but they wouldn't all get in anyway if they dropped the prices. It's wrong but I don't see what can be done about it as long as people are willing & able to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
