The *WHEN* we go down thread

[MartyFunkhouser]

No one goes to watch us from Tottenham if we’re honest
I reckon the average spurs fan travels an hour minimum to a game
I’d kick to know the price because I’ve been to quite a lot of German grounds and the myth of cheap tickets still exists

We are going to be faced with a complicated equation on pricing because the operation costs so much to run. I suspect they will run the maths and it comes out that a 80% full ground at a price is better than 100% with cheaper tickets and wind down some of the operation for a season.

I think it would likely start that way and test the water to see how much they can make/get away with charging higher prices. However, they might well find themselves disappointed with the uptake at that price point and quite early on have to lower the prices to generate more income....

The sad thing is that relegation will most likely mean job losses for a lot of people in and around the club behind the scenes or matchday staff. A lot may be done through agencies but still not nice to see

From a purely accounting perspective you are probably right, but surely there is value in a full stadium and full support, leading to better results, and a straight return. 50% off all tickets potentially yields a better return. Short term pain for long term gain.

I suspect there is math's to be done to work out the better course. F&B trends and performance will factor. If the grounds full of cheap tickets and no one is buying the the operation costs will swallow us up.

You have worked in that world haven’t you IIRC?

I dunno what they will do TBH

The club will want bums on seats spending money. The mine over the tills is huge whereas seasons ticket moneys and ticket prices is relatively fluid

I’m not sure how easy it is to ramp up and down especially either with events being a big part of the services at the stadium
