Varadi Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Only 7% of their income from ticket sales last season, shows just how important the TV money is for Premier League teams. Short has put in 260 million in total, has taken them down 2 divisions and looks like walking away with nothing - fuck me that's been a poor investment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm all for cheap tickets and it's great to a degree, but as soon as you're off the Premier League TV gravy train, you're going to struggle to sustain a Championship squad let alone a Premier League squad on that. When you think 2-3k a week must go for £30 a match to away fans, then you've got season ticket holders who probably do pay top whack, it's just not possible to keep doing. Yeah and no incentive for season ticket holders to have them anymore when they can literally pick a seat, any seat nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 They’ve sold 16,000 season tickets according to rumours on Twitter with little evidence to suggest that is the case. Obviously that has been taken as fact on RTG and the praising of ‘our fans’ is ongoing. They’re now all expecting crowds of 30,000 next season, if they’re doing well. Someone with a bit of normality about them has actually looked at the stadium plan and says: The stadium plan still looks to be rather empty when looking at season card availability. There's only 5 blocks where availability is less than 25%. 16,000 STs would be just under half of the lower bowl That’ll be ignored no doubt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 £8,955,000 in gate receipts for their relegation season from the PL That’s ridiculously low isn’t it and further evidences their free ticket giveaway? That can't be right? If you disregard cup games, divide that by 19 and then again by 40k (assuming the average crowd would be about that?) then the average ticket price was under £12 a head. No wonder they were up s*** creek. They get a free season ticket with a Happy Meal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we were speculating how many free tickets were dished out, I suggest we're pretty close to an answer now. Nah - it’s all be cleared up on RTG. It’s because of concession tickets, brings the average price down to a measly £10.60 apparently. Conveniently ignoring the hospitality and boxes (££££) bringing the average ticket price up. Must be a stadium full of concessions too. For those mackematics to work, they’d need more children/pensioners in the stadium than adults Also ignores the story in the media about 9,000 free tickets every week, that must be wrong too, just like the accounts must be.
