A Seat In The House

With re-newel prices coming up for season ticket holders. I ask why are the prices so varied all over the stadium with the Kop starting price at 582 and early re-newel at 516 i dont even know what the west and east stands are but i know they cost a bomb!

so why not have every seat in the house at the same price? there are pro's and cons no matter where you sit

Empty seats bring in zero pounds.
It's ok saying £36 brings in more cash, what actually happens is that these seats are empty.

revie kind of my point really why not drop west stand tickets to Kop level prices

But if you lower the season ticket prices then you have to lower the match by match prices to?

And it does not guarantee they will sell.

But things have to change now because people have had enough with the prices and midtable and are not turning up.

But if they did lower tickets and fans still don't turn up we could be in trouble in the long run if we can't make the lose up.

I ask this and nobody every answers it

Why do all the other clubs in this league sell season tickets alot lower than us ??

Do they have to pay rent on there grounds and training grounds?

1.5M+ (gos up every year)

Why do we make more then most at this level yet have to sell to stay ok ??

That is a question. You would need to look at other clubs overheads etc as to the reason. If clubs had to breakeven they would need to either cut overheads or increase prices. Would we? Think if you could get the crowds we could decrease prices.
Take Bristol for example who are losing £12m a year (beleive this is right for last 2 seasons) even to make up say 50% of this how much would they have to increase prices.

But all these clubs don't make the same revenue as leeds on sponsorship etc etc, its miles above everyone we at this level

Sheff we'd turnover a third what leeds is

Meme, do other clubs have our massive fan base?
Most of which won't go anymore due to many reasons. Pack the fans in is the answer.
If you don't then you get what is happening now, less and less fans paying more and more
Bates tried to price fans out of ER, it's the only thing he succeeded with

If we're looking at a similar season next season, it's going to be worrying. 20k will become a good crowd.

Make or break time already for the new owners, better get spending in the summer.

The trend is making 16k look like a good gate next year , with the average nearer to that of the dark days of the 80s, ie 14-15k. Big club my rs! I'd forgotten how many fair weather fans we have, Turn up at an away game and the average age must be low 40s and thats pulled down by a sprinkling of young uns. Its mostly the same old faces that are actual diehards that attend in spite of everything.
