Port Said Red Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 So we have earned £225k in prize money from the previous 2 rounds of the cup, a win in this round would double that, but the odds have to be against that. However, there is still money to be made, but how much? I would imagine that Gate receipts from a full house, hospitality etc would be approaching £750,000 assuming around £25 for around 20k adults and 7000 concessions at around £15 a ticket. An additional £120,000 in F&B, Gross should be achievable. We receive 50% of the Gate receipts but retain all the additional income. It seems likely we will also get a live TV spot which is worth £247,500 to each team.What I am not sure of is whether we get more for any overseas sales that are likely considering our opposition and their global reach. I am sure there is potential for additional income from merchandise and collectables too. It seems that a gross £750,000 is a good ball park figure to expect. A televised replay could also earn an additional £120,000 if it is televised and 50% of any gate receipts at the Etihad, would surely be greater than those from the home tie. This could go some way to explaining why the purse strings seem to have been loosened even more than we thought today. , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 I was thinking about this today. I reckon (assuming we`re on TV) the cup will be worth around £1.25m to us this season. All helps towards FFP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On average City get a very good FA Cup match every 5+ years, so a huge wedge isn’t too much per year. (That’s not much help when you have to pay now). Unfortunately it’s a case of supply and demand. City know it will be a sell out at these prices because , if regular supporters don’t want to go, there will be a lot of infrequent City supporters who do. Maybe not fair on regulars but football is a money driven business. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
