We never managed to charge more than £10 a ticket at the Ricoh.
I was just reading a thread on GMK and someone has come up with a stat that we lost 197800 of our home attendance this season compared to last. At £20 a ticket thats almost £4M in lost revenue, not including lost sponsorship or merchandise sales.
Tell me again why the club mustn't accept the short term offer to play at the Ricoh that was made through the FL?

You have to blame Sisu for the managers that the picked, that isn't an issue, but even from the first season we moved into the Ricoh Arena, attendances began to fall season after season, including when the reign of Sisu started. Sisu are responsible for 95% of the fall in attendances.
Short term gain for long term loss!
The club will never prosper on current Ricoh terms due to FFP.
The club needs its own stadium!

Ha ha ha!! laughable.The math will always be disputed, only the Club will be 100% sure how much money has been lost due to falling attendances.
The question is, Should Sisu take all the blame for the fall in attendances? IMO No.
In reality the average turnover per ticket isn't full face value, because there are corporate areas, concessions, cheap areas and free tickets. But of course other income flows from attendance & the good will of local business, a commodity that SISU have more or less discarded (e.g. for the first time in decades Cov Building Society have no commercial partnership with the club).
The prison of measured time blog researched some statistics,
My season ticket was £13 a ticket. The oap I went with was £6.50 a ticket. So that's £10 a ticket
Phew! Only 95% responsible then, that's a relief. For a moment I was a bit worried about it being 100%.
Given that turnover will come in around £2-£2.5M. this season ,that would be as the OP states be a £4M. loss ,but that Is only on turnover .
The operating loss last season was £7M. yet we've shaved somewhere around £1M-£1.5M off that by reducing the wage bill + what must have been unique expenditure around Arvo and Admin Circa £3M. we must be heading for a further operating loss around £6.5-£7M. this season IMO.
We have to anticipate another event In the coming year.
It would be interesting to see a breakdown of ticket sales to arrive at a £10 a ticket average. Given we struggle to even publish accounts I doubt that info is available.
If you work on the basis that only JSB, OAP and complimentary tickets come in at less than £10 and a lot of single match ticket prices are significantly higher than £10 a ticket it does seem odd for the average to be so low but even so the point still stands. If the average ticket price at the Ricoh is £10 what is it likely to be at Sixfields?
Even more importantly we all know that the amount we 'make' (all matchday income less all expenses) is going to be way higher at the Ricoh than at Sixfields. That's before you even begin to consider the huge drop in sponsorship, advertising and merchandise.
Well said Tony. I see, the usual suspects are out to give common sense a good kicking.
I'm not sure it will be quite that low. Stevenage had a turnover of £5.2m in 2011/12 with 3.6k average attendance.

Exactly. If you had a car park ticket you'd actually be giving ACL more money than the club.
That Is very interesting ,wonder how they did that?

To be fair those figures are tosh, they also include PL payments, cup prize money, transfers fees received, tv rights, etc. for example it's widely regarded that the championship brings in about £5m in payments and tv rights so nothing to do with attendance.
It's like saying that (2012) Burnley fans pay an average of £71.18 per person based on turnover of £23m and an average of 14,048 fans.

Oh dear. The genius that is Grendel just became the dunce.
2/10,000 means that's how you calculate an average ticket price :facepalm:
Average means taking all available data into account :facepalm:
What are current Ricoh terms?
Well yes it does. How do you rare OSB in the calculation stakes?
When you used £10 yesterday to slate my figures, I assumed you'd seen an official quote stating the average price is £10.
Not used 2 people's cost to reach your "average price" :facepalm:
I can't deny dividing almost 20 pound by 2 is an average of 10, but to use that basis as a fact has definitely made you look very silly all mighty one
