![]() This is because their logic is get more people to commit to a whole season, which gives better atmosphere, bigger match day revenue on merchandise, food etc. Because the season ticket price is 25%, it means the season ticket is only £115. There's 23 home games a season, which means 100% of that would be a season ticket average of £460. However their season ticket price is only 25% over the overall value of buying each tickets. Let's say the average ticket price is £20. As their season ticket is listed as 90% of the overall cost of buying each ticket individually, that means the average ticket price is £1026. There's 19 home games over a season, so 100% of that would be season ticket average of £1140. Let's say Arsenal charge £60 per ticket (we're working with averages across the board here) and their season ticket is 90% of the cost of said tickets. ![]() I'll try and explain it relatively simply, there's obviously differing things to take into account, but this is it at the basic level. However because the season ticket is locked to a a value of the match day ticket, the season ticket values won't increase massively. Yeah that's what we're saying - the match day tickets will be tweaked in the next update so there's a more substantial jump in those prices as the team progresses. I'm filling my ground to 49k so the catchment zone argument doesn't hold.Īnd, I know Southend isn't great, but I wouldn't call Southend deprived! It's also entirely normal for a PL club to lose money through the year, they all do so and then recoup it in the off-season. There's a reason why these clubs generally haven't been successful in real life, and your success despite that doesn't change the factors that stopped it from arriving earlier. Man City are a good example - they've met immense success, but still couldn't fill their stadium when they tried to charge too much and are stuck with low prices compared to the nearby United and Liverpool, and that's without being in a community with the economic issues I mentioned regarding Southend. It is always going to be difficult to compete for fans against this competition. It doesn't really matter how well you do on the pitch - Southend will always (at least as far as the game is concerned) be a club in a deprived area, with a relatively low population, in the catchment zone of two huge clubs in Tottenham and Arsenal, to a lesser extent Chelsea as well, and West Ham who are big with a large stadium and cheap tickets. During the season, my money will drastically dwindle down. I have good finances but only because i hardly spent the year before. Newcastle, charge £600+, twice as much as my club! My ticket price has only risen £5 since being a league one club! My rep is now worldclass and i just won the champions league so i would expect my ticket price to increase to levels that other world class clubs have, and not have the cheapest, by far, in the premier League.
