Does this frequently repeated claim really hold water? A present, you have to go to about 2/3 of the games before it’s worth having a season ticket. That’s quite a lot. I usually hit that, but some years it’ll be close. If I didn’t have the season ticket, I think I would go to fewer games, with the likes of Wednesday night being marginal. But I don’t see why I would stop going altogether.
I don’t know what a reasonable discount level for a season ticket is but around the 70% mark would seem ballpark. It’s about where rail season tickets were. You needed to go four days out of five for it to be worthwhile, which is why so few people buy them anymore. the only comparable sporting thing that I have been pricing recently, a Yorkshire cricket membership, comes with a much bigger discount, relative to walk up prices where you would only need to go to about a third of the days to break even.
