Match-day revenue and Covid 19

[HalfwayUpTheKippax]

Fewer season tickets mostly. They have 25k compared to our 40k. Single match tickets sell at something like a 20% premium to season tickets. Plus their pricing structure is different to ours, with one price per block, regardless of the opposition. So the games versus the other top 6 clubs at Anfield (plus Everton) will be cheaper than our games against the other top 6 clubs. But the other 13 games will probably be the same or more expensive.

More single match tickets will mean more tourists and thus match day club shop spending and probably more food and drink sales. Other than ticket prices, what does match day income comprise? Are club shop purchases and in stadium food & drink purchases included and how significant are they?

@Marvin you are best using Swiss Ramble for financial info - endorsed by @Prestwich_Blue as well. SwissRamble covers all bases with reports on individual clubs, Big 6 comparisons, PL TV & Prize money distribution, Champions League TV & Prizes, Impact of Covid etc etc etc.

GIve up on the Guardian and spend a couple of days on his historic twitter and you will come back as an expert :)

To give you a flavour here is the PL TV and Prize money distribution PRE COVID rebates.



And a bit here about the covid rebates:

I concur, Swiss Ramble is really good.
I used to read his webpage before he went all a-twitter.

20M/club rebate - peanuts.

Probably just about covered by the Sancho sell-on money.

I'm pretty sure club shop purchases aren't included. They'll be Commercial revenue. I think food & drink used to be all match day but in the last accounts they detailed an accounting change whereby the net revenue from the F3 contract was treated as commercial income and that was about £2m.

The Puma deal timing is very fortunate given the size of the increase it will surely mean we do not really see a change in revenue. All other income will be flat or falling at all other clubs. Even income less affected by covid i.e. non match day revenue will be down or flat as companies cut back on marketing / sponsorship might take time to feed in or broadcast revenue should be going up due to more games on tv more people watching tv has actually taken a hit due to timing of the games missed and then when people loose there jobs they will cut back on sky and bt etc

Just done the 2019 figures for the Top 6 (although Arsenal aren't really a top 6 club). The percentages of total revenue represented by matchday income are: Arsenal 24.3%, Chelsea 15.3%, Liverpool 15.8% City 10.3% Utd 18.7% Spurs 20.1%

That means Arsenal are the worst impacted by lack of matchday revenue, followed by Spurs, both with over 20% of turnover made up of matchday revenue. We're least affected, with only just over 10%.

Expected United, Arsenal and Spurs would be most affected but didn't appreciate by how much. Very interesting figures.

And yet Utd are reportedly splashing the cash in the transfer market.

I seem to recall the Glazers were also heavily invested in shopping malls which must also be hard hit.

Something doesn't add up.

You need to use UEFA's calculator! ;-)
