So you own a football club and your regular customers pay you up to £500 a year to watch your games and then some right utter bastard comes along and gives you £40,000 for him and a few mates to sit in your best seats and at every game he spends £100 or more on drinks or a meal and then he comes along, and can you fuckin believe the cheek, asks you for a decent ticket for a cup semi final. What a c*nt, so you tell him to do one.
Question : How many boxes are filled next season?
Bollocks. The stadium holds 47,000. - avg 3-5 thousand away tickets depending on the game.
Gives you say avg 43 thousand home fans. Of those 35,000 buy season tickets between £200-£600 so say avg £400. 35,000 x 400 = 14,000,000. Then there are say another 7 thousand who fill the rest of the stadium and pay alot more than most season ticket holders so avg 30 a game. So not including cup competitions 30 x 19 = 570 x 7000 = 3,990,000
Then on top of the 17,990,000 made from the gate you have the beer and food people buy at matches so if each of the 47,000 spends on avg £20 each game. 47,000 x 20 = 940.000 x 19 = 17,860,000.
Now on top of that add the shirts, scarfs, gloves, footballs, teddies, car stickers, programmes, jeans, jackets, shirt printing, iphone apps and the countless other shit the fans buy and tell me it makes business sense to look after the 15 guys who pay 40,000 for a box and just so your aware you get your food and drink included in a box and other corp packages so theres no extra 100 a match like it would even matter.[/quote]
You're figures are a little bit out fella! I never spend that much on a match day and don't know many that do, certainly not at the ground.
