Bbc price of football survey 2017

[Terryhall]

League 2 football is a bloody rip off given the quality on show sometimes - went to watch Blackburn a couple weeks ago in the division above in a far superior stadium with a better standard of player and paid £4 less sat down than what it costs to stand on the big bank

it could also be the case that the higher up the leagues you go, and the larger the club in question is, the more money they get from TV, consolidation payments, or sponsorship (in the case of Blackburn, Venky's are no doubt still putting in plenty of money), means those clubs are less reliant on gate receipts to make ends meet and can perhaps afford to offer their supporters cheaper match tickets.

I would like to think that if ECFC ever found itself in the situation that it didn't need to charge £16 a ticket for the BB, then as a community club, it would consider charging less.

To some extent the bigger clubs probably benefit fro the economies of scale. Whilst bigger grounds with bigger crowds do require more staff etc, i'd be surprised if their match day costs rise in direct proportion to the size of the crowd. As has already been pointed out, gate receipts make up a much bigger portion of a clubs income at our level, so ticket prices will have a point below which they can't go if professional football is to remain viable.

You must have had a special discount on that though Credy, as the survey shows that Blackburn's cheapest adult ticket is £18, £2 more than a ticket on the bank. And Wycombe are the only team in our league who have a cheaper adult ticket than us, so we're not particularly expensive in relation to other clubs.

I've no idea it was £12 pay on the day that's all I know , against Fleetwood , entertaining 2-2 draw , Bradley Dack of Rovers was worth the entrance money proper player at that level
