Ticket Prices

Rhc

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

Does the removal of the categories mean that tickets will be more expensive?

 

Had experience of this when my son was at primary school. The most disruptive, bully in my sons year was rewarded with tickets to Chelsea because he managed a whole week at school!!
My son said that when he was given the tickets during morning assembly, pretty much all of the other pupils jeered him. Even 10 year olds understood how crass it was, shame the teacher in question didn't !!

 

op

 

I did the OP.

 

What a twat.

 

Lower categories, yes. Category A will (should) be a bit cheaper though.

 

Well done to the fans who walked out.

 

TBF, he could point at the Category C game tickets and "told you so"

 

FAN POWER!!!

This was me just mucking about but there's more info on there from Spion and a link to the Dortmund protest.

 

Ok its only the Daily Fail but if there's any truth in this FSG knew they were in for a big pay day for the main stand partnership when they tried to fleece the supporters over ticket prices.

Liverpool close to £90m naming rights deal for new Main Stand with Far East company... and Mario Balotelli could move to China

No wonder they backed down.

 

If they sell balotelli to China then all is forgiven

 

It does make an utter mockery of their attempts to raise the prices. What the **** were they thinking? They could have used any naming rights deal as a great propaganda coup to say "we've secured this deal meaning we can keep the prices down whilst funding the build". No problem, job done, good work all round.

Now their attempts to raise them look even more like pure greed. They must have known this deal was a possibility before announcing the price rise.

 

According to the fans in the ticket committee FSG went into it with the plan of increasing revenue on everything by some percentage. That's where the £2m came from, and it didn't depend at all on increases in revenue from other sources.

That means if they made a bonus of £1 billion from somewhere on commerce, they still wanted to increase the revenue from tickets and merchandise and everything else by their original targets.

The most ******ed strategy ever and it blatantly failed for them. No doubt the extra £2m they tried to make has already been more than lost on lawyers and fees associated with making the quick u-turn.

 

Good point.

This sponsorship would have to have been in the offing before a spade was put in ground so I think this was factored into the revenues and they still thought the prices were good.

 

What they should do is offer tickets to locals for half price or something. If you live within certain area, ie postcode falls within 20 mile radius or something, get in half price. Get local people back into the stadium.

On top of that, would be amazing if one of the big prem clubs, even if for one season, just said we're going to charge no more than 15 for a ticket. Next year it may go back to normal, but just this one ear, well reward all you regulars with cheaper tickets.
