thats what you get for charging ??39 for an upper tier seat

 

 

First time Everton havent sold every ticket at Bolton in the Premier league..they even brought 6,000 for a 3rd Round Cup tie in 94.

 

It was ??7.50 for an adult to stand at the Bolton v Everton cup tie in 94.

 

With these prices i can see only the Man Utd game being completely sold out.Possibly Liverpool and Chelsea.

 

Its sad that a game that could easily have sold out will be under capacity because of the greed of our money men.

The money men must think we're rolling in it! They still can't get it right! Charge less, more bums on seats! Therefor making more money in the process! It's hardly rocket science is it?

Sad that it's games against the likes of Manure and the other scum that get a full stadium though, makes you wonder which team "they" come to support

how much was a programme for the cup tie against everton that day

ha, i wish it were that simple; would have made my degree a shite load simpler

It is exactly that simple!

Maybe not in this particular case where the gate will be not-too-far from capacity, but certainly the case for early cup rounds and league games against someone like Portsmouth on a Tuesday night.

 

Sell 'em cheap, pile 'em high!

so would you rather we sold 5000 tickets at ??20, or 8000 at ??10?

 

 

and that's before all the fun and games of unit costs

I would rather see more people in the ground paying less.

 

We have chalked up 77 consecutive league gates over 20,000.

 

I want to emulate Wolves in the 1990s and make it to 100.

 

Charging ??39 a time is not going to get people in the ground.

I'd rather sell 8000 at ??10, because the 3000 more people will buy more drinks/food than if 5000 people came in at ??20. +, you can't guarantee 5000 people would come at ??20, but I can see 8000 people coming for a tenner.

i know, the numbers were purely an example with no real basis, and perhaps the BWFC money men regularly get it horrible wrong; i was just attempting to illustrate that it's never that simple

 

football matches aren't nearly competative enough a good for MC=MR to maximise sales

I'd imagine that there is a formula for the optimum price, taking into account other factors like parking, programme sales, club shop sales, refreshments etc.

 

It's probably unique to Bolton though, with the ground being out of town, more people drive or catch the bus. And with pubs being in short supply, they probably sell more ale than other clubs.

 

I'd put my mortgage on the fact that BWFC don't actually know the formula and make it up as they go along.

??39 is a joke, but the empty seats in the away would be down too the fact that we go to Spain on Wednesday and then Fulham on Saturday!!

 

You will find not many clubs will sell out anywere anymore!

 

City didnt sell 1500 at Brum!

had this conversation with a City fan yesterday - and Pablo is right - they didn't sell their allocation at Brum. Certain clubs like City and Everton are very well supported away from home. I think Everton have brought more fans to our ground on a regular basis than any other club (and I mean by way of having fans in our end as well!).

So it was sad to see empty seats yesterday.

But who are Bolton to complain - we only took a few to City ourselves last season for a Sky match.

I think if the game had not been show on Sky we would have had probably only 1000 empty seats in the ground and not 3000.

But ??39 is an absolute disgrace - and it was ??31 for casual Bolton fans.

 

The club (and football clubs in general) have got this so so wrong. I cannot wait for the whole game to implode.

Blackburn managed 16k at Ewood v Fulham, I know they've both got shite support but surely money had something to do with it?

 

No action will be taken til there are empty seats at Chelsea, Arse and Munichs though. Otherwise it isn't a big enough story.
