Phil 1,150 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Exactly. Your better to lower ticket prices and fill the stadium and make the same amount of money as charging high prices and having a half full stadium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Unfortunately Bayern have much more TV and commercial money than us but I would love us to take that view when things in a financial sense get better Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templebear 15 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It is driven by the fact they don't rely on ticket income ( £m is small change to them) -we do at the momentMany EPL clubs should take note - the improvement in their last TV deal would have allowed every fan in free according the the fan group guy on BBC news last week Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theiconicman 2,975 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Exactly. Your better to lower ticket prices and fill the stadium and make the same amount of money as charging high prices and having a half full stadium.Except that logic doesn't hold for 'normal' Rangers operations. Where we regularly have 38,000 fans at games thenIf we have 38,000 paying say £28 a ticket and we want to fill the stadium to 50,000 then we'd need to charge £21. The type of price elasticity just does not exist at football.Ideally, as others have pointed out, you would want to sell them at £14 a ticket which would be a loss of £0.5m per game or about £10m a season that can be recouped by commercial deals (ahem, Ashley) or TV money.But in Scotland, every pound is a prisoner.

Tontospal 1,116 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Good points and all that, but he's now serving a prison sentence for tax fraud.... The irony being that Bayern are a well run club and largely untainted with their association with Hoeness whereas our club is still in a mess and was treated as a football pariah whilst the man responsible for deliberately not paying our taxes is still walking free with nothing more than a damaged reputation.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,613 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 There's too many negative variables just now, this would cost us money we couldn't afford.The shite football is deterring folk from getting STs. The UoF / SoS led attack on the board has many thinking ST monies are going directly into directors pockets. Credit facility issues haven't helped ST sales. Anger at the salaries (bonuses?) paid to the management team and directors. Boycotters will boycott until they get King in irrespective of price.We need the boardroom debacle sorted, and better performances and results on the pitch (a new manager if this isn't forthcoming) to generate ST increases more than we need a price reduction.

Phil 1,150 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 and what if you half them and only get a quarter more fans coming?If your playing good football and fans are creating a good atmosphere then you would hope more would come with more affordable tickets.In an ideal world we would do this but I'm not under any illusions as to being able to actually implement it.
