It's circular though.
The clubs can't reduce the season tickets as they need the money to stay competitive and pay wages and stop the players going off into Europe. If they let the players wander off into Europe, the quality would drop and the demand for tickets to live matches and tv deals would decrease.
Boycotting would only provide a temporary fix imo.
How do Bayern Munich do it then?
The new BT deal meant clubs could have SUBSTANTIALLY reduced ticket prices but instead they are going to pay the players even more ridiculous wages.
As for 'staying competitive' - THFC charge the second highest ST prices in the league & we have won the CC twice in 22 years.
Well exactly. If half the clubs decided to reduce the season tickets with the substantial increase in tv money, and half the clubs decided not to and spent the money on players and wages. Which half of the league would strengthen more? If one club spends the increase on players, the rest have to otherwise they will likely get left behind.
THFC is in London, everything is more expensive there. If you can explain to me why a pint costs £3 at my local and the same pint costs over £5 in London you'd have your answer. Added to spurs being a club on the 'up' with more people wanting to see them than the capacity can support.
As jts says, Bayern have massive sponsorship.
If you can think up a solution, i would be happy for them to go through with it. However it would have to be in the Premier League, the FA and the clubs best interests or it's just not going to happen.
To Nutter, Spursalot and ThingOnASpring; I've been saying for tears that spectators for televised matches should get their tickets free, people look at me as if I'm some kind of lunatic, my reasoning is that a match played behind closed doors is deemed to be a punishment whereas as a match with a fantastic atmosphere is deemed to added greatly to the TV experience-we, the fans, are the only difference.
I'll take my logic a little further, with the new TV deal that the PL have recently entered into the clubs can afford to reduce the price of each and every match ticket by £51 and be no worse off than last season.
We're being screwed and paying royally for the privilege. Market forces eh?
I hadn't seen this on the website before, is this new or has it been on the site for a while?
