Spurs Tickets (112 Viewers)

[skybluecam]

Nobody was saying £20. And at what point does this cease to make sense? 10K at £100 would generate more, would that be job done, or do you agree there is a balance to be struck that prioritises revenue but which doesn't alienate and discourage uptake? This especially applies to children, and that's where the issue is more than anything.

We charge kids more than any other club in the league. We only have 6K tickets to sell for league games, but if we sell those 6000 tickets more than 4 or 5 times all season I'd be surprised. Would it not be better to fill those seats more often with the future generation even if it meant a slight reduction in revenue in the short term?

Someone should tell the club this. They’ve probably not considered any of this when setting ticket prices.

No they don't.

Didn’t know you worked with him

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Remember those times we'll worked behind the bar in the early 80s.
I was 18 and it was my second job.
They all moan at work that they are skint but won't do the overtime........

If they work somewhere with paid overtime

 

[wingy]

If they work somewhere with paid overtime

Or more worker's?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

My parents worked and met at the Styvechale Arms in the early 80s. Legend has it that the pub ran out of beer one day, I assume as a young @clint van damme drank the place clean

The link between that story and the comment you replied to, is tenuous at best.

Not me, rarely went in there.
But I'd like to have seen the carry on in there that day.
Wouldn't surprise me if Grendel was involved!

 

[edgy]

@biggymania can you run the dot counting thingy for this game?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

But it's not the kids of today is it?

It's the parents of today.

Kids wouldn't give a fuck if they had to walk to school, as they wouldn't know any different.

Whatever you think about the kids of today, they are a product of us, the parents.

Fair Point.

It's a opinion about pricing in a thread full of opinions about ticket pricing Of course it's considered when they make these calls, I never suggested I had invented a new concept or way of thinking, it ain't that deep.

Funnily Enough I Also had a Job as a Barman in the Brunt Post, Kempas Highway, Green Lane at 18.

Until I Got a Job at the Standard Triumph and Then SPS.

I don’t buy this “future generations” stuff. We charge more than any other club you say, and yet we have record season ticket sales and bigger crowds than we’ve had for decades. It doesn’t stack up.

like I said- 26k at £37 and apparently there will be 26k there, whatever your views on King it looks like he knew what he was doing.

I lived behind the Styvechale arms in Daleway Road - witnessed a Blazing saddles fight night in there one night - hilarious - chairs tables the lot all getting broken in the lounge bar then the keystone cops arrived and we slipped out and over the road - early 80s

I'm talking about match day prices clearly, which are the highest in the division (for kids), which I guess has fueled ST sales which are priced very reasonably, so maybe there is method there..

Besides, a lot of of the hand ringing was about not selling out. Point was made that at those prices it was unlikely to, and it hasn't. That was where the discussion about pricing came up.

Whether the approach they take to these things is actually better for the club, well that's a different debate and I'm not saying you are wrong on that because it is a difficult balancing act

 

[David O'Day]

Looking at some of the other games on Sky Sports+ no one at all wants to watch most EFL cup games

Same as king then, pretty disgusting attitude if you me saying,they'd prefer it if we all thirty something's or even younger with no children,no house to pay for, but we ain't and never will be!
Well until euthanasia and clones are mandatory!

It was never going to sell out, it’s just not that attractive.

I’d love for us to not need the money and let everyone in for a fiver, but that’s not the age we live in unfortunately.

Yhe stadium owner's won't be pleased then!

To Put it into perspective, The Opening Hours were.

11am - 2.30 pm and 6pm/ 10.30pm Weekdays.

12-2pm and 7-10 pm on Sunday's.

11pm Fri and Sat I seem to recall

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

11pm Fri and Sat I seem to recall

The Licensing Act Changed in 1964 to 10.30pm or 11pm in Most Areas, but not All.

 

[MalcSB]

11pm Fri and Sat I seem to recall

They were the hours in Atherstone but not Nuneaton IIRC.

 

[bradwellskyblues]

Preston v Fulham 5300 crowd tickets £20 London Derby QPR V Palace £19 crowd 13945 maybe Doug’s got it right!!

 

[coop]

No club gets big crowds(utd aside)in this competition no matter the pricing and by the looks of it there will be a good crowd in there tonight unfortunately I'm on holiday but if I was at home I would of been going.

We don't charge kids more than any other club in the league though.
I paid £25.50 for my 16 year old and £23.50 for my 14 year old against Leeds in a couple of weeks.

The same tickets against Swansea would be £20 and £15.

 

[napolimp]

26k sold now, so assuming some are going to go on the day looks like will be around 27k.

@biggymania can you run the dot counting thingy for this game?

---------------------------------
Total 21,055 of 26,034 - 81% tickets sold or unavailable

Biggy loves this shit don't you mate!! The day we get to the PL and sell out every game early doors you will be a broken man (or woman)

I wonder if the hospitality sections will be well populated by Spurs fans.

Strange if it is because I remember someone on here a few month ago claiming that Leeds fans were the only away fans ever that we let into corporate

Only have to have witnessed the Leicester home match last season to know that's not true.

You still need a membership number to buy tickets in corporate. The only exception is the boxes.
