2026/27 Season Tickets (Pricing and Message from Gavin Carter, pg.8)

There are 11,292 seats showing as available at the moment.

I believe that would make it over 12k sold so likely there are a thousand or so seats blocked out for hospitality or similar

11,280 today so we sold 12 season tickets yesterday, at this rate we'll be sold out by 2029

The price increase strategy of making sure there will be plenty of choice in the home ends for those that only want to go to a game occasionally seems to be holding up then. Heaven forbid selling more season tickets and reducing match by match availability.

They will be revenue driven opposed to number driven. Even if they sell the exact same number of season tickets if they sell on them on average for £50 more they’re still making an extra 600,000

Sell 2000 extra at an average of £300 and that also is an extra £600,000 but it’s also 2,000 less tickets to sell for 23 match days each season and potentially another 2,000 in the ground buying refreshments, merchandise and getting behind the team.

I've lost count of the amount of times you post this nonsense and the tens of people that explain to you why it's nonsense and then you repeat it again and again and again.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU HAVE 5,000 EMPTY SEATS OR 7,000 EMPTY SEATS.
REFRESHMENTS PARTICULARLY AND MERCHANDISE MAKE LITTLE IMPACT ON OUR REVENUES WHEN YOU TAKE OFF THE COST OF PROVIDING THE REFRESHMENTS AND MERCHANDISE.

Just got my new E season ticket arrive in email this morning

Be Careful you don't go out raving after the matches.

Anybody running a business where it’s got an almost captive client base that’s accepted it has to pay £6.50 or whatever for a pint of beer and £55 for a polyester shirt etc and will keep coming back time again and can’t make money out of it is probably in the wrong business. I get the impression the new owners are not in the ‘wrong business’

So the vast majority of all football owners are in the wrong business.
Speechless.

For the love of god, of course clubs generally do not lose money on catering and merchandise.
It’s just that the profit is not as significant and important as you think.

It looks to me that you’ve confused match day revenue for meaning profit from catering and merchandise.

I believe Crispywood was referring to match day revenue as the total revenue including ticket revenue.

Precisely, based on the accounts from the 24/25 season. 
8731 (season ticket sales) x£250 (average price) = 2.2M 
6,524 (matchday tickets ) x£20 (average ticket) = 130k 

We only made 1.8M in Commercialisation and a lot of that will be through sponsorship which isn’t directly linked to overall attendances (obviously helps but not sole factor) and we would have to pay a lot of staff companies etc to produce/ship that out as well.
