Is our club against capping away prices?

[domalino]

They probably average £45 and there are 3000 maximum but probably more like an average of 2000

19 x 2000 x £45.....£1.7m
19 x 2000 x £30.....£1.1m

£600,000.

I knew I was being overly generous but didn't expect the difference to be that big.

600,000 is almost a rounding error for a club with £350m revenue.

Disappointing but not surprising.

While we're all getting worked up about today's result and performance the PL summit meeting this week seems to have slipped under the radar.

At that meeting there was a proposal to end categorisation and cap prices of away tickets at £30. This was voted down and I'm ashamed to say it appears our club was one that voted against this. Some clubs in favour may still enter into reciprocral agreements to do this but we'll still be charged top whack wherever we go. I've posted n here about how the greed of clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool and the rags tilted the finabcial playing field in their favour but sadly it seems we've decided to throw our lot in with the 'Squeeze every penny out of them' gang.

Well fuck you Soriano.

Yeah, fuck soriano. After all he has done and all he has set up for us, how can you say that. We dont know the full story. Chill.

I would be shocked if they did vote for it #Together.

I did not realise their was a actual vote though, I din't think it made it that far?

Don't get it how much would a club lose a season if they capped away ticket prices at £30

It's even more disappointing when that £600,000 loss of revenue would be passed straight back into the pockets of some of our fans who have loyally followed us through thick and thin for many many years.

That is unless they plan to change the loyalty system which actually wouldn't surprise me with Pep on his way!

Was speaking to a Leicester fan before the game and he was charged £44 for the game at our place but £22 by Arsenal. Caught me off guard a bit. To hear that the club rejected a cap, if true (without disputing PB), is incredibly disappointing.

Even more empty seats then,

I'm no mathematician but I guess that to do this would only cost a top club a couple of million a season, but unfortunately most clubs don't care about supporters, hence the change to "customer numbers" replacing supporter numbers. I can see myself being priced out of away games in the near future, joining those who have already been so, not that I think the club care as my seat can be taken by some corporate or day tripper who can by a package for an extortionate price making the club more money. Meanwhile clubs will still waste tens of millions on extortionate transfer fees.

Do they care? Let's say there's 1,000 seats in a block at £50 a seat. Filling it brings in £50k. Put some plush, heated seats in, throw in a free programme and one or two other perks and charge £100 a seat. Even if only 700 people pay it, you're pulling in 40% more revenue.
