so is that 3k ST and 4k MT? I guess so. Very disappointing.
Why such a low attendance?

Don't start again lol I replied to you on the ticket prices thread. Interesting to note you CAN buy 2 adult tickets for £18 in the family enclosure.

I have watched Cov for years but Friday was the first time I took my kids (7 and 5 yrs) and we sat in the family enclosure. It was great for them as we were surrounded by similar families and was very friendly area and no shouting or bad language. If I went on my own I would much rather pay a couple of quid more and sit where there is an atmosphere and 'football language'.

I'm sure it would be at least 20K by now if the prices were £18...

I suppose you are right. We wouldn't sell any more tickets charging only £18

on said on a separate thread. CCFC missed a trick here. Should have done a package of £25 for Gillingham and Yeovil. Would overall attracted 20k for both games then

Why, who said we wouldn't sell any more?

too many people want to back the machine rather than fight it. same people who buy fifa and cream about x factor each year no doubt.

£24 per full adult ticket. After you take out the VAT, season ticket discount, the concessions, the free tickets etc then the ticket income per person is around £9. If you dropped the ticket price from £24 to £19 that's a 21% drop so lets say that drops income per person to £7 - it probably would not be that low
Average crowd say 12000
at £9 that would be 108k per match
at £7 that would be 84k per match - a drop of £24k
so to remain the same as 12000 at £9 you would need to make up 24k or at £7 average per ticket around 3400 extra supporters. Its a tough call as to whether we could but you would hope that given some success and the momentum of Friday etc we should be able to get average crowds of 15400 shouldn't we.
*edit if average ticket price dropped to £8 then you would only need an extra 1500 people to stand still at £108k per match. All about getting the right price/sales mix
If that could be done there is no "loss" to the club as such but surely a better match experience with more people in the ground, which means more people spreading the word to come to matches. Better crowds feeds in to monies from F&B share, advertising, sponsorship too
It is about getting the right balance and maintaining momentum. It is a fine line I suppose time will tell if they got it right.

Dropping the top ticket price by 21% wouldn't drop the average by the same as you're only reducing one ticket tier.

I don't think there is.

agreed shmeee
that's kind of why I put in the caveat of "probably not be that low" I wouldn't think there is any real reason to drop the ST or concession prices further prices are not bad for those, but even there I think there is room to manoeuver. Think you would probably end up around the £8 per ticket per match region

The important thing certainly initially was to get people back in the habit and to maintain and build momentum. we will have to wait see if the price structure has added to that or not - I have some doubts that it has. The biggest effect on crowds though is going to be success on the pitch not price of tickets

2 from the top. 1 from the middle and a vowel.
Very, very disappointed with this news. With the problems of getting through to the ticket office and slow systems to purchase tickets, I would be surprised if they break the 10k mark. Got our season tickets last week, thoroughly enjoyed Friday night, and looking forward to a season full of optimism. Feel a little deflated now and let down. I honestly thought we would keep it above 15k, looks doubtful now

Around 5,500 fans – comprising 4,000 season ticket holders and roughly 1,500 general sales – have already committed themselves to the Yeovil game, and it’s hoped that figure will rise significantly come kick-off time.
Poor.

I really hope so more the merrier but as we know the ticket prices don't help as with the £2 walk up charge.

There has been about a 1000 tickets given away for a cancelled charity day that has had to be moved because of the club returning that will boost the attendance a bit also I do think there will be a very large walk up contingent , 15000 isn't unreachable yet
