interesting article..

Bournemouth's revenue from ticket sales was just 3.8% - I guess there's no point in fan boycotts nowadays then: )

Manchester United, recently ranked as the second most valuable sports franchise in the world by business magazine Forbes, brought in more than £111.6m in matchday revenue.

I think it damages the brand more then anything to be honest.

How do you mean?

Having a empty stadium on TV does not look good.

Is this why Spurs have delayed their stadium opening?

I can see Levy selling WHL and start playing games at the training ground...

omnomnom is right regarding the need for full stadiums (and decent atmosphere's) for commercial reasons but that doesn't mean they have to charge so much for tickets, particularly general admission tickets. Corporate hospitality makes up a massive chunk of match day income for the biggest sides - they could easily cut regular ticket prices without making noticeably less money.

You do know Spurs have/had a huge waiting list for season tickets?

Tickets just need to be less, for every single club. It's not a difficult fix they make so much money from TV rights etc I don't see why it's still bad.

Then again my maths sucks so I'm assuming it's easy fix lol
