royalowlisback Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Crowds will depend on 3 things for me. 1. How well we do, if we are up near the top crowds will increase. 2. Number of season tickets - more than last year than crowds have a good chance of increasing. 3. Category of games - the lower the Category for less glamorous games, will equate to an higher overall average - game v Pigs guaranteed to sell out regardless of category.

Would imagine its more expensive than against QPR last year, but first home game of the season so always likely to be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Wolves for example could be near the top of the league and therefore be a higher catagory. Also United, who will be near the bottom of the league will be in a high catagory and weren't in the league last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlZfan84 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Makes absolutely no sense that QPR and Sunderland games are the same category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 1st game of the season usually attracts a good crowd - QPR midweek in November for example would probably be 2 cat's lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Neg Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The way I see this ticket farce is; We've got lots of willing loyal customers We've got a chairman trying to fill the coffers We've got SAG telling us what we can and can't sell. Simple maths tells me that if you get 20k fans paying £50 a ticket it would bring about the same ticket revenue as 30k paying £33.50 a ticket. An extra 10k supporters on the match day would generate more matchday spending, a far better atmosphere to get behind the team (which may increase the teams chances of promotion leading to obvious financial rewards) and generally happier customers that don't feel like they've had their pants pulled down. How much of this would be lost for extra policing and staffing costs I don't know. So Mr Chansiri, how much income do you need from ticket sales? divided by So SAG, how many are we allowed into the ground for this game? = AVERAGE TICKET PRICE FOR EACH GAME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
