The *WHEN* we go down thread

No one goes to watch us from Tottenham if we’re honest
I reckon the average spurs fan travels an hour minimum to a game
I’d kick to know the price because I’ve been to quite a lot of German grounds and the myth of cheap tickets still exists

We are going to be faced with a complicated equation on pricing because the operation costs so much to run. I suspect they will run the maths and it comes out that a 80% full ground at a price is better than 100% with cheaper tickets and wind down some of the operation for a season.

I think it would likely start that way and test the water to see how much they can make/get away with charging higher prices. However, they might well find themselves disappointed with the uptake at that price point and quite early on have to lower the prices to generate more income....

From a purely accounting perspective you are probably right, but surely there is value in a full stadium and full support, leading to better results, and a straight return. 50% off all tickets potentially yields a better return. Short term pain for long term gain.

I suspect there is math's to be done to work out the better course. F&B trends and performance will factor. If the grounds full of cheap tickets and no one is buying the the operation costs will swallow us up.

You have worked in that world haven’t you IIRC?

I dunno what they will do TBH

The club will want bums on seats spending money. The mine over the tills is huge whereas seasons ticket moneys and ticket prices is relatively fluid

I’m not sure how easy it is to ramp up and down especially either with events being a big part of the services at the stadium
 
The fans have until 7th June to renew ST's , that is a 2 weeks after the last game and our fate will be known, the club will see what the renewal rate is so will have some idea on where to pitch pricing if it is Championship football.
Think most senior citizens will renew as a lot of us have seen 2nd tier football before and pricing for 23 games even at current rates is pretty good . I have the 2nd highest cost senior ST in the stadium and at the current PL price renewal rate it will work out at £28 a match for 23 games so I can't see much reduction coming there, it will have to be the high price tickets that come down .
Players will have to be sold to bring down the wage bill (unless the 50% cut rumour is true), can't see any alternative .
 
My current ticket is like £68 per game when averaged out

Not a chance I'm paying that to watch us in the Championship, especially when I won't be able to get to a fair few midweek games and they won't sell on the TE

I suspect the 5 midweek games would be a reduced capacity at least to begin with.

The sad thing is that relegation will most likely mean job losses for a lot of people in and around the club behind the scenes or matchday staff. A lot may be done through agencies but still not nice to see

And not forgetting all the pubs and takeaways around the stadium who’ll have thousands fewer customers next season 💸

Plus I’ve noticed there’s not quite so many Asian fans spending a small fortune on merchandise at the Club Store after matches, now that we’re nearly a full year post-Sonny and without Kane either there’s no superstars that younger visitors to nWHL are going to be demanding on their shirts.

ENIC’s incompetence is going to cost not only our club but the entire community £millions in lost revenue, a total and utter unmitigated ominshambles.

I don't expect to see us needing to reduce capacity - we're a well supported club and we'll average out quite high over the season.

Guess it’ll be similar to our Europa League attendances which were typically about 12,000 down on PL fixtures. Although these figures will be artificially inflated by our post-Levy system of counting tickets sold rather than scanned at the runstiles.
