superzak Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 I thought the F.L effect would have added a couple of thousand onto attendance. I wonder what the attendance would have been if G.R was still here . I suspect the F.L effect did sell a few extra season tickets but not as many as M.M was expecting.

Ghost of Clough Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 For the club to not lose out on money but have a 30k+ attendance, the average price of a ticket (including ST holders) for midweek games could only drop by about £4. I don't think this would be enough to tempt 6-7k extra fans to the games. For me to get to the games on time I would have to head to the ground immediately after finishing work, and wouldn't get home until after 11. In terms of cost, after travel, tickets and a bite to eat, I'm roughly £50-60 poorer depending on travel by car or train. With recently buying a house and saving up for a wedding, I cannot currently justify paying over £50 a week. Hopefully, that will change in time for next season though.

I'm pretty certain if we sold season tickets to everyone under the age of 23 at £95 we would have 30,000 a game no problem . Last time I paid that for a season ticket was 1993.

To save money on a wedding and food costs at the ground, ensure you bring your partner to the game and engineer a seat next to an ordained minister with expertise in foraging- My Viz Top Tip for the week. ( I actually moved into my house and got married within a 12 month period . joking aside it is very costly, I did that much overtime I may as well have brought a sleeping bag to work.)

SaintRam Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Personally I wouldn't want to go anywhere near matchday traffic on the A52 and road network around Pride Park during evenings. Also, you lose a large proportion of the fans who travel a decent ways to attend. You also lose people who usually walk, but aren't comfortable walking for say, 45 minutes to an hour in cold, wet, evenings. Then of course, you've got people who'd just prefer to watch it at home or in a pub than go - that number is usually also more affected by it being an evening too. All these reasons seem like they'd be trivial numbers but they all add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think MM makes enough financial gestures without having to reduce tickets to a stupidly low price to try and fill the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
