I guess Doug is justified in any and all pricing decisions now that’s how that works right?
We sell out the cheaper cat b games (4 in a row now), but not the expensive ones, although boxing day will be the exception. Not sure what that proves other than we could sell out every week if we wanted to.
Bristol City could be our lowest turn out of the season, lower that Albion even. Cat A fixture just before Xmas against the most championship team in the championship was a strange call.
Yes we are selling the cheaper matches moreI guess Doug is justified in any and all pricing decisions now that’s how that works right?
Didn’t see the attendance today guess over 31,000 but still loads of empty seats on the balcony, need to find a way to fill them

Exactly, you can’t have empty seats because lounge capacity is full,It’s got to be the media or wider/deeper seating if you can’t fill the corporate areas with enough people to fill what’s there.
Against Charlton. Wow, we’re def on the way31,141
Again I feel I have to point out a sell out is a failure in pricing not something to aim for.
I imagine the JPT area final against Crewe was more? I think that was a 31k crowd and only about 500 of them

What?
Am I reading this correctly?
Charlton sold out their allocation and we also made Block 9 available today for the first time this season.We sell out the cheaper cat b games (4 in a row now), but not the expensive ones, although boxing day will be the exception.

whatNorwich first home win of the season
Yep, a top band that sells out a gig or a restaurant that fills all their covers have failed on pricing apparently.
Not to mention a football club is a community asset as well as a business. The more people you get through the gates and in the habit of going, the better protected you are when the downturn comes, which it will for us, hopefully not for a few years, but it will happen.
It's about balance, and it would appear to me that our cat b prices are about right.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the club that it should maximise for its long term benefit even if that’s just getting us our next owner. We should get as much money as possible for the title winning season. The club isn’t protected from going bust or funded by outside sources, it’s funded mostly by its fans.
Even if you don’t accept any of that legally it’s not a community asset it’s a private business. And as such with a limited stock the aim to is get the maximum price overall. If we sell out then the market would bear a higher cost than we charged.

You’re making the assumption that we’d sell out if it was marginally cheaper.Yep. @shmmeee will get his wish against Bristol City when we have 3000 unsold seats again.
Making an extra £10 per fan does not maximise anything.
You’re making the assumption that we’d sell out if it was marginally cheaper.
We sold out v WBA and Birmingham at £45 so clearly it’s not just £10 difference.
Everyone on this forum remembers ticket prices being £15-20 and the club still being unable to sell tickets.
On these threads, you get people who have clearly never run a business talking like they’re experts.
Both games did in the home end. We sold less tickets than today because Block 9 was opened up.We didn't sell out against Birmingham or West Brom.
A fixture today, against one of the smallest sides in the division did sell out and that's because it was affordable for people on the day.
Both games did in the home end. We sold less tickets than today because Block 9 was opened up.
WBA didn’t sell their allocation, partly because of price but mainly because their form is woeful and they’re a club that’s declining.
Our lowest attendance in the league this season is 29k v Hull - 2.05k less than today. Any insistence the pricing has been detrimental is just not true.
There were empty seats in the home end for both Birmingham and certainly West Brom.Both games did in the home end. We sold less tickets than today because Block 9 was opened up.

Yes, just as there were today… STH don’t always turn up.There were empty seats in the home end for both Birmingham and certainly West Brom.
Not sure how to put this gently, but in even the most basic economics, a sell out at the equilibrium price where supply exactly matches demand is the very definition of success…Again I feel I have to point out a sell out is a failure in pricing not something to aim for.
Do a PowerPoint for Doug and let us know how that worksNot sure how to put this gently, but in even the most basic economics, a sell out at the equilibrium price where supply exactly matches demand is the very definition of success…
If you’re pricing so high you don’t sell all your supply, that’s inefficient
i don’t think he needs a first week microeconomics lessonDo a PowerPoint for Doug and let us know how that works
