True. I’m just saying there isn’t always a direct correlation between pricing and attendance, as it’s not a consistent product.
Reducing / increasing the price by £100 doesn’t automatically mean we’ll sell x thousand more / less tickets.
I remember some matches under Strachan where we could have sold tickets for a quid and we’d still only get 15,000 there. I couldn’t give my season ticket away for matches I couldn’t make.
I think there's truth in that: I've always argued that the ticket offers we used to offer forced gates down overall.
I've defended club policy on tickets in the past: the gap between walk up and ST prices, the premium paid by new ST holders. It's kept gates far higher than following our relegation in 09 (COVID aside) despite the likes of Pulis, Warnock and Monk doing their worst to the team.
But there is no denial that, prices across the board are very high compared to what other clubs in the division charge.
I get that this is a tax-and-spend type model, that all the money we pay goes back into the team (and still not profit is made), but we don't get the better service to justify our higher prices.
