I was a doubter, but I am becoming convinced that you are correct. Though there will be some matches where we fall way short. Watford or Bournemouth on a winter Tuesday evening will still be 25k.

They're not right good at counting dem blades. They might get close to 30k next week against Chessie but week after we'll beat that easily and gate receipts will be double there's. Oh and in our last game in pub league we got 38,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midweek games in Premier league are very few with them playing 8 games less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years of cheap and free tickets has never been sustainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if they are smart you won't be able to get a ticket to Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs or Man City unless you buy TWO tickets for the other thirteen teams.

S36 OWL Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 1 hour ago, Holmes said: If we get a gate over 30,000 against Fulham then we will have averaged over 27000 for the season. DC should be happy with that considering the cost of the tickets. Would have been interesting to know how many we would have averaged if the prices for the tickets cost say Five Pound lower. When was the last time we averaged over 27000? If we do get in the Premiership averaging over 30000 for the season should be achievable. That depends on what mood SAG are in .

I agree. When we last went up and finished 3rd we had the 3rd highest average attendances in the then 1st division. The popularity of the Premier League has grown and attendances risen generally since those days so we should get a higher average than that onow. It would take some doing to get close to a few of the bigger clubs but if we make improvements to the ground to allow the increased capacity we should be close the 39,000 sell outs for many of the games. One of the effects of the last 15 years has been that we've lost sight of the fact that Wednesday are a club with a big fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you consider we have just over 20K season ticket holders now, with over 5K members - I would expect these will be converted and we'll get another couple of thousand floaters - so circa 27K.

Blatter Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I suspect most of that 20% growth in the season average attendance came from season tickets. Total revenue might not therefore be as high as you believe. If you consider the number of 3 year deals, early bird deals, concessions for OAP's etc the prices are nowhere near as punitive as pay on day prices. For instance a 3 year season ticket for an over 65 in the North Stand will average at a little over £12 per game. You would have needed to stump up the cash in advance of course but if one or two of those seasons were in the Premier League, Mr Chansiri might regret these deals. You could see a situation where you just couldn't get a ticket at any price for several Prem games with attendance limited to the low 30,000's. Don't think Mr C would be happy with that, but hey lets get there first and worry about it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Mr Chansiri regret those discounted prices for people who bought 3 year season tickets, the £100 Million + given to Premiership teams each season more than compensates for this and in the grand scheme of things is only a small percentage of the clubs profits. Remember away fans have only been charged £20 for I think most Premiership games this season which would've cost clubs a lot more in revenue but I've heard none of them complaining.

Had we been playing Leeds in last game segregation would have been 8,000 seats. Edited April 24, 2017 by bradowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
