i dont even know if my brain can comprehend that at 9 am tbh
I attend half a dozen games a season. I would have happily paid £22 for my ticket v Gillingham, but would not attend the Yeovil game for £10 as I don't want to go every week.
I think the std pricing is very fair.
Ironically you say more fans won't go even if it's cheaper and the three games you quote "gillingham, crewe and Chelsea" were all games with reduced ticket prices?
Crewe was £5, gillingham was £10 and Chelsea was £20. Very ironic these were all sell outs with a cheaper ticket price. I'm not saying yeovil would be a sell out but charge £10 for yeovil would more go? Bet your house on it they would.
4 tickets at £22-24 is £88-96 and 4 tickets at £10 is £40. Simple really.
well considering in our relegation season from the championship we were getting an average of 15000 , why is it wild to suggest that we can pull in the same average in a promotion pushing season in league 1
Those who thought our attendance would be 20K (of which there were many) were clearly deluded. I predicted 12K which I still think will be there or thereabouts. It is so much less about pricing and so much more about a large chunk of our fans that don't really give a shit unless its a big occasion (Gillingham, Crewe, Chelsea).
All this nopm nonsense and now we're back and people won't go to the 2nd game because the tickets are £3 too much? Its laughable.
You think there would be an extra 10K fans there on Saturday if our prices were £15-£18 then? Seriously?
We'd average that easily if this was a promotion season as I've said repeatedly. And at £22-£24. You've just backed up my point. It's about success and NOT ticket prices.
Sod the price! I'm just glad to be able to be watching City again. And when I think of how much I've saved by not attending a single game at Sixfields...well...a few quid just doesn't come into it for me. Can't get to Yeovil game but already got my tickets for Preston game, regardless of what they're going to charge for that one!
Sisu have never taken a dividend tbfAnother factor to consider is where the money goes and if it is being used effectively.
I would happily pay a premium for a ticket knowing that the money directly supports CCFC and not Sisu shareholders. Pushing for promotion would be considered effective.
Similarly I am reluctant to pay silly prices for f&b if the profits do not go into CCFC. The club need to take up the 50% share in ACL ASAP (if available)

Very true and staffing costs have been a lot more than ticket income for years. Wasn't staffing like £9.5m in our last season at the Ricoh, compared with £2.8m match receipts?

Again, it's impossible to deny that ticket prices have an effect on attendance. How much is debateable, but it will have an effect.
For the record I haven't suggested that ticket prices don't have ANY impact on attendances. But I believe the impact is minimal when we're talking about £22 or £18. Most people who won't go because the price is £22 will not go if the price was £18. This £4 differential just an convenient excuse for many (not all).

There's a massive psychological difference between £18 and £22, hence why everything is £x.99 instead of round numbers. You may scoff, but humans really are that stupid.

Because people have found something else to be outraged about, ticket prices.Really surprised by the response in ticket sales, but even if the tickets were a tenner I doubt the attendance would be that much better.
Finally back at the Ricoh and the second... SECOND home game we will barely scrape together a 10k attendance, Shocking.

You jest Nick but is that not a factor in this no matter what the percentage.
Why are you shocked? We only used to average 12,000 and in the last 500 days SISU have forced people to find other pass times. Also 2 games in a week is a big ask
We still should be in the honeymoon period, that's why. The people that couldn't get a ticket for the Gillingham game, where are they? I can understand interest would die off after a while, but this soon.
Not that it matter what any other fan things but from looking in from the outside, second game in and back to low attendances. People liked to make a big song and dance about how its been so terrible moving the club away, then the second game back they are not really bothered about it.
I'm sorry but two games in a week, that's no excuse for the vast majority.

I have gone from £35,000 a year to £75.00 per week jobseekers allowance.
Do they do special rates for the unemployed?
So for me it price is a factor, I will go as long as I can get the money, but to be honest can't justify a season ticket while I am not working.....
I don't know anyone that would go purely on the basis that it were £5 cheaper, in my experience people are either interested in going or they are not. Sadly most are not.
