That's a small amount , it's not quite the same as boro yet
That's a small amount , it's not quite the same as boro yetAnd we hadn’t this time last week either.
We have opened up the rest of block 25
We'd already opened blocks by the away fans tooThis was remaining ticket sales a week before the Boro game. Near identical to where we are now View attachment 31542
I’m not convinced that the pricing is impacting attendances outside of individual circumstances/anecdotes to be honest. Realistically, how many more people would come to games?
At 18,500 ST holders, the lowest attendance we’ll see this season will be 19-20,000? Our season ticket pricing was reasonable and selling these out is proof of that.

If we’ve capped them at 18,500, would that have changed? Perhaps we would’ve sold out the PL packages and the 18,500 sooner.I’d argue we would have sold even more had they gone on sale before the playoff final.
Kids pricing is far too dear , sunderland will probably sell out but are struggling should be a testament to that .. I don't know what else there is to say , could easily be 28000 there Saturday if the prices weren't wankBut we hadn’t opened up all of block 25, which we have now.
All we’ve done is open block 25 instead of 4&5. It’s roughly the same amount of tickets
Not sure what people are struggling with clint mateThe gripe isnt about season ticket pricing though, or adult match day prices. It's about £25 for a child

OK let's say we sell the same as we did as a game on sky .. doesnt mean we couldnt have sold alot more , and that kids ticket prices aren't still absolutely disgraceful, what are you trying to say with this? That we've sold the same as a game that was on sky ? WhoopiedooNo we didn’t.

All I’m trying to say is ticket sales are similar to the Boro game.
I’m not getting into it anymore than that
Fair enough , boro was a 12:30 on sky opening day of the season.
Kids prices are still too expensive and sunderlands tickets have gone to general sale , which is quite a shock for them
So what you're saying is sunderland would be struggling to sell out anyway ?
A team that comfortably sell out before general almost everywhere

We haven’t really capped them, the club said they were to generate a few more season ticket sales but I’m I can tell you now they would have sold more near up to capacity if there was a demand. I reckon about 24k for this game. If revenue is up or down on selling less but dearer only the club will know.If we’ve capped them at 18,500, would that have changed? Perhaps we would’ve sold out the PL packages and the 18,500 sooner.
Whilst I agree with your point on policing and stewarding, Leicester's family section was not next to us away fans, its 3 blocks away in the opposite cornerPlenty off grounds have family sections next to away fans without issue including Leicester a few weeks ago.
It seems its only our police and stewards who treat every game as though its bocage juniors v river plate

How does that impact revenue? If the revenue was higher with the rip off prices, with less attendance, then the club has achieved what it set out to.
I do feel for away fans on this because they don’t have cheaper bulk alternatives to go on.
The pricing, in fairness, seems to assumes that the only people who go to football games are full paying adults or adults masquerading as youths/concessions.
The pricing is terrible , I couldn't give a shiny hoop about revenues , I'm a customer not a financial advisor
You should. So why have we ended up with King of Shaves as the main shirt sponsor on what will presumably be mates rates?Whether you agree with this pricing or not, you should care about revenues.
The business has to be sustainable

I agree, which means we shouldn't be pricing out future generations. We need to be getting them in and getting them hooked now!
Probably, cant knock him for trying to get as much as he can though he’s a business man and got good amounts for vik and Hamer.You should. So why have we ended up with King of Shaves as the main shirt sponsor on what will presumably be mates rates?
By, say, offering a really cheap season ticket and massively expanding the family zone?
I don't care for the club charging 25 pounds for kids , end of story really
So you think we need to charge kids 25 quid to stop us struggling financially?Fine, but if that’s all you care about we’ll be back in 2013 before you know it.
Everyone has an opinion on what the club should be charging. I’ve not seen one comment about how to otherwise generate income.

Righto

How do you generate income in 15 years when everyone is doing something else because you priced them outfit when they were a kid?
King is getting a lot right commercially and the club are clearly increasing revenue but I can't agree with him on this
That’s a perfectly reasonable argument.
However, you have to acknowledge the income needs to come from somewhere. So if not from kid’s tickets, from where?
Make under 10s a flat £10That’s a perfectly reasonable argument.
