Snufflelufagus Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I see at Mansfield they opted to let fans decide on the day how much to pay to attend the game. They managed to double their normal attendance by doing so. So the question is how much would you be willing to pay if City did the same? I can't see anyone personally going over what they currently pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbacktherobin Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I personally think £15 for a adult is a good price for this level. But then high wages etc will mean its never that cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yeah I think about £15 maybe £20 at most would be borderline acceptable to most but even then it's quite a bit to cough up week in, week out, especially when people aren't happy with performances/entertainment value. If we really wanted to maximise the potential attendances, tickets would need to be about £10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 £5 coz I'm a student Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfkerton Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 £10 for a student would be about right i think, and £20 for adults depending what stands you sit in ofc. Dolman and Williams will always be more expensive because you can see more of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 £15 maximum seems fair when you consider the cost of entertainment generally (cinema, bowling....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I'm hoping (maybe unrealistically) that with the new stadium prices might actually go down to the £15-20 level initially, to help us fill the stadium more and more. Obviously once it's full there's a good case for increasing the prices gradually. You want it to be easy to get people in the door initially and get them hooked, it's better for the longer term.

Would be nice, but I think the 'hook' will be the fact its new. Significant price reductions won't be needed to get curious punters through the door.

RedM Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Just a thought, if you were being PAID to watch, how much would you want?! 90 minuites for the match, travelling expenses and time. Even at the minimum wage it's got to be £20 ? With this in mind I think it has to be capped at £15 a ticket, kids a fiver, concessions a tenner. Fill the stadium up, create an atmosphere. Maybe with the seats at £28 a go we a demanding more than the team can produce, higher expectations and all that. Lower the price and everybody loves a bargain, and it's always better when the stadium is fuller (expect for parking ). I think people would be more patient with an exrea £13 in their pocket each match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 We need to do more to get floating fans in. How about receiving a voucher with £15 off your next home game (if used, say, within 2 months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 As a way of boosting gate receipts at The Mem, you will in future pay what you consider it's worth to leave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverface Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 £15 maximum seems fair when you consider the cost of entertainment generally (cinema, bowling....) The cinema generally costs an adult roundabout £7 for two hours entertainment (and even that's expensive), so with that in mind, I think football matches should be a maximum £10 (or even cheaper if possible) for 90minutes entertainment (if you can call it that atm) Doesn't it cost something really cheap to watch football at the top German Football clubs?

They do it properly over there though, can drink beer in the stands, safe standing is allowed. Its not all money money money like it is over here.

Red Ferret Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Was reading about the new West Ham chairman. He says that when (if) the Hammers move to a new stadium with a much larger capacity he wants to have dirt cheap tickets for fans to make them the "peoples club" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve from Wales Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think you should get a discount for each mile over 20 you travel to the ground and considering the s**t I have had to put up with working in Cardiff the last week or so people living in Wales should get double this season!

Travelling from Portsmouth every 2 weeks might actually have some benefits then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
