pinkeye Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Some clubs have already announced that they plan to reduce season ticket prices for next season as well as reducing the gate price for individual games because of the new sponsorship deal the Premier League have brokered. All Premier League teams will recieve far higher prize money (based on league position) than ever before. What are the chances of our prices being reduced? Probably zero but, maybe a small token of keeping the prices the same as this year will be offered. Just for those that do not know about the deal: Richard Scudamore of the Premier League has negotiated a deal that means the team finishing top of the Premiership will win £50m over and above any teevee money they receive during the course of a season. On top of this even the relegated teams will receive around £30m (almost double what they would have received last in 2006 for finishing bottom). The amount awarded is incremental and proportionate to the position the team finishes in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Whilst the majority will still pay for it, why reduce the prices? It will have to go down before attendances get consistently better though. Helps if things go well on the pitch like though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Attendances have dropped though. We have had a number of sub 50k in the Premiership and loads of low turnouts for the cup games. We used to have a waiting list of more than 11k people waiting for season tickets, that list has gone and for the first time in may years we have been selling half season tickets. The writing is on the wall for the club, we are a very expensive team to support and we should get something back!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Damn, the scarfs didnt work.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 The thing most people fail to realise about the scarves is that usually when you renew your ticket you get a voucher for the club shop (£10). There was no voucher this year with the promise of a quality scarf on the first home match. Obviously the scarf didn't materialise until well into the season and the distribution of said scarves was nothing short of shambolic but, that is another story.

Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Aren't our ticket prices like the 4th cheapest? So teams like Arsenal could be reducing their ticket prices and yet still be more exspensive than the 'toon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Arsenal have a waiting list that is like "dead mans seat". They could theoretically charge whatever they wanted and still have a queue. Our position is very different! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Fuck all chance our ticket prices will go down IMO. If we were going to do it, this season would/should've been the one if they had any sense with all the shit cup games we've played and home friendlys for the first time in years n all.

Guest Bramble OG Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 i cant see it going down maybe staying the same again though, would be nice if they offerd some sort of discount on home cup tickets for season ticket holders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
