At ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã32.50 a ticket, I can see Mr Allam being a very disappointed man.
The average family do not go to JLS. How much for the average family to go and see Leeds Utd for one game. Its all relative.
2 adults and 2 kids? In the family stand for a category C game it'd cost ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã60 (̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã19 adult, ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã11 for U16), rising to ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã74 for a Category A (̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã26 adult, ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã11 U16).
I can imagine the average family of 4 would turn into a family of 3 for a JLS gig, if i had a wife n kids i'd be telling the missus she can take care of them on her own for that one.
Why are we comparing it to ticket prices for games anyway, i'm pretty sure the target audiences are a tad different.
Apparently not, they're offering season ticket holders priority booking on the tickets. (at least I assume it's that and not just that we have customer numbers)
Not negative. A realist. If you take an average family of 4 who want to go, thats ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã130 before you've even left the house. Take into consideration food, drink, programmes, merchandise the kids will nagg for, in a situation as the economy is in at the moment with unemployment at a high, I think people will be forced to think twice before going. As a patriot of our fine city, I hope i'm proven wrong as the financial benifits could be huge, but I just think the tickets are a tad steep.
