swinners Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have asked a couple of times but not had a response (that I have seen). Is there a reason that DC can't buy up all of the spare unsold tickets for home matches, effectively making them full houses (ticket sales wise)? This way we would have nearly twice the revenue as to what we get now. An example. If by Thursday we have 17000 unsold tickets DC buys them up and gives them to charitable organisations (that's more than half a million per home match - (worked out at 30 X 17000). Now they may not necessarily come, but so what? This enables DC to pour more money into the club which he has said he wants to do but can't. Is there a reason that he, or his family, are not allowed to purchase tickets and thus putting money into the profits of the club? If he can, he would be able to buy up all of the hospitality boxes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherGoose Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) I suspect that it’s the same reason that you can’t name your stadium for £50M a year. Artificially inflating your income from the owner isn’t allowed under the rules Also 17000 is a lot of spare seats. I don’t think the capacity is that high.

Suzuki_San Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I think the term is 'money laundering' and there may be some small law against it? I can't be certain though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clud17 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 SAG wouldnt allow us to use 17000 virtual seats, far too dangerous having all those spaces there. Also SYP would not be able to police the extra 17000 virtual seats, it would cost them too much in overtime to police the space. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddogbob Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 So over the last two days, weve had, why dosnt DC give us all 10k each to buy the 1867 think and now why dosnt he buy all the unused seats.

Well frankly, its bloody scary. Tell you what lets chuck a good old ponzi scheme in as well. Just for a laugh. Not seen one of those for a while. Its like the fanbase are crack addicts, desperate for the next signing fix. Chuff me. We have an unfavourable sysyem against us. Very little we can do about it. Mainly because, nobody cares unless it effects them directly. Edited January 18, 2019 by Maddogbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could either stick to the rules, face the music and learn by the mistakes. Or we could rename ourselves Leeds and try something devious. I know which I prefer.

Ok, perhaps the wrong terminology then, whichever way you look at it. Its very very dodgy ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
