This year's Arsenal Fans Are Mugs report has been released

Twisted ****ing logic, that.

 

Also liked this one:

Basically, a £29 reduction means the Arsenal fans think they're now on a good deal

 

Liverpools will be high soon when your paying for your new stand.

 

hopefully we will secure a naming partner for that stand which will contribute significantly to the construction costs

 

Not really, just simple economics.

Why would Arsenal, or any other club for that matter, lower their price if they are still selling all the tickets? All that would happen is they'd earn less money, spend even less on decent players, and get booed every game instead of just every other game.

The packed grounds in the PL compared with the half empty grounds in most other leagues show that fans would rather get ripped off to watch big names than save money on tickets. Like astro says, as long as Arsenal fans, and most other fans for that matter, are mugs enough to pay stupid amounts for tickets, clubs will keep charging them stupid amounts for tickets.

Ah, but now Wonga are banned from advertising, so you're basically ****ed for a sponsor

 

It's twisted because they cite full stadia as evidence that their pricing is "right".
There's a difference between what is right and what you can get away with.

 

Guess that depends on how you define 'right'. Which I would argue is determined by how the fans act, rather than what they say.

Ultimately, if one club says "we don't agree with setting the price high, we're going to cut ticket prices by 50%", that club will lose lots of money and have to let some of its best players go. The club will slide down the division, and will actually lose fans in the long run.

Like I said above, fans have consistently shown they will pay high prices if the club is successful, but won't pay low prices if the club isn't. That's why Arsenal who charge £2,000 have an attendance of 60,000, and Charlton who charge £150 have an attendance of around 15,000 and 12,000 empty seats.

If four times as many people are willing to pay almost 14 times as much to watch a side that is only one division ahead of the other, that would tend to indicate that football fans would rather pay lots of money to watch a big team that is successful than pay much less money to watch one which is less successful.

 

Stadium income is a small proportion in money generation nowadays so probably not.

 

Now that's just embarrassing to the English game!!!

 

that worked
