KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The Importance Of Maximising Match Day Revenue

Matchday revenue / ticket prices has been a big talking point for the last 4 or 5 weeks (although it seems a lot longer!). I've just found this article which shows the top 7 clubs in terms of matchday revenue:

In a nutshell, it looks like this:

1st - Man Utd £99m
2nd - Arsenal £95m
3rd - Chelsea £78m
4th - LIVERPOOL £45m
5th - Tottenham £41m
6th - Newcastle £24m
7th - Man City £20m

Of course there are other factors that will determine how much money we can spend to stay in line with FFP, but this shows how far off the pace we are in one aspect.
On one hand, it's not unreasonable to think that if we're bringing in the 4th highest amount of money, we can spend the 4th highest amount.....and possibly finish 4th on a regular basis? On the other hand, how can we possibly ever expect to catch Man Utd or have a proper crack at winning the league again? FSG or no FSG, financial fair play looks like it will seriously restrict our chances of catching up. Every year, utd, arsenal and chelsea will be able to spend more money to strengthen their squads. Our small price increase and small capacity increase won't make a lot of difference - it might even be prohibitive.

Might be a silly question. But how do Chelsea make that much more than us when we have a bigger ground and charge more?

london .

Yeah, but if we charge more, and get more people through the gate, then how does that add up?

Utd and arsenal have bigger grounds and about ten times more corporate bixes than us. I woud imagine Chelsea have more corporate. But fine by me quadruple the ticket prices see if I care. I have given up on this club if that makes me a rubbish fan then I agree I am a rubbish fan. I wil watch on the TV sick of being treated as scum by the club and thought of as an idiot

Make the season tickets about £4000 a season that shoud triple our match day income which we can use to buy new players what's not to like ?

The match day pies are £2'50 and I have to say they are lovely. But the club are giving them away £10 sounds about right. Pot noodle for me in front of the tele and if we are getting beat no problem I will switch channels and watch a move.

Sorted

Since when are the pies lovely?

that taste haunts my nightmares to this day.

Subjective wakka to some they are like the winner on masterchef. But the main point is they are subsancally under priced
