alexxxxx Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Getting excited for this, although I've not been following this season at all really. Who's going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I'm planning on heading over around the 2nd inning to see if I can grab a cheap ticket off a tout. I can see it being a home run fest the way this season is going, especially with that Yankees line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWC1983 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Watched '4 days in October' for the umpteenth time today. My favourite 30 for 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oomarkwright Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 This has cost you and me, the taxpayer approx £4m to put on. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting this one off event on essentially guarantees expenditure from tens of thousands of people going to watch, and eventually the net benefit of holding the event to the economy will probably be greater than the £4m(If spent correctly), as they spend the money at the event, which then circulates around the economy. Add to that the chunk of the £4m paid to staff aids the economy, as they will then spend the money earned in shops or something, which then the shop owners will get and then spend etc etc. It's the Multiplier effect. It's the principle which backs up intentions to hold Olympics, World Cups etc. Events that make huge losses on the face of it, but, in the long run *Could* see a greater increase in national Income than initial expenditure if spent correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium is owned by the taxpayer and due to the nature of the stadium has to refit the stadium for different uses. The £4M refit cost is just that cost - there is no indication that the taxpayer lost out because of the revenue from ticket sales and concessions that came from that. The tickets were insanely expensive and 59000 attendance both days. If we say that 100000 were sold and not freebies, and the average ticket price was £80 (bare in mind that is probably a very low average since there were several thousand tickets on sale for £300+) then revenue was at least £8M. The athletics refit last year cost considerably more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oomarkwright Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hopefully then the taxpayer got back the £4m in ticket sales but I doubt it. Probably went to the promoters and players. Take the point about helping the local economy of East London tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 No interest in the sport i must say but stumbled across this story. https://www.bbc.com/sport/baseball/48831510 I am sure even we did not pay for Ravanelli that long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
