All of the following with the caveat that we need investment and our ownership has been very good.
Clara Vista website a bit sobering. Nothing that we didn't already know but essentially it spells out that American investment firms think football clubs are underpriced considering the potential earnings. 'Fan monetization' a big part of that. It's like gig tickets. American firms couldn't believe that people could only spend £30 on a concert ticket and set about changing that. Now look at Ticketmaster etc.
In the US, going to a top level basketball game for example might cost you 700 dollars. The idea is a one off experience with fans paying top whack and more for merchandise etc.
Season tickets are already coming under pressure with this model.
Does British football have the strength to defend itself? |  | | |  |

If they price themselves out of the market, then only the elite will servive. can't see it myself. |  |

The only way a top level basketball game would cost $700 is for close-to-courtside ticket for a top level game such as Lakers v Knicks towards the end of the season. I’ve been to NBA games on a Monday night in Portland and Milwaukee and paid less than $10 a ticket. The market will bear what the market will bear. |  |

Can't see ticket prices going up too much. I think there might be lots of voluntary add ons though with hospitality, premium seating, more boxes and other experience based things. |  |

It's dynamic pricing in the US but outside of baseball there are less games and generally all sports are geared towards one championship so they will make their money in the playoffs when elimination comes in.
It's true that good seats at some regular season NFL games will cost more that a ST at Ipswich but wages are generally higher and sports tickets cost more.
Completely different market, if you started charging GBP75 a home game at PR what would the attendance be? Won't happen they are not stupid. [Post edited 3 Dec 19:51]

Sounds more like it's gone to market value than being overpriced. Not saying it's good but £200 is incredibly low for a season ticket, especially in the Prem | |

Sorry I should have added the 200 was the promotion year.
He dint pay much more the season after. But the one after that was when it went boom. | |

I think that depends on where we’re sitting in the pyramid. Hang on to your hats if we get established as a PL side.
On that basis I think we’re a few years from this being an issue for us. |  |

Massive price differentials like those in Basketball don't work quite as well in football though as being front row isn't anywhere near as rewarding a spot as courtside at Basketball, rinkside at Hockey or behind the plate at baseball. Hence why we see the fancy seats being at the front of the 2nd tiers of stadia. Even then usually you have to add extra facilities to make them worthwhile. |  | | |

The top top teams in the PL will probably price their local support out of attending matches - secretly their owners would much rather have tourists filling out the stadiums than the locals who won’t spend hundreds of pounds in the gift shop week-in-week-out.
The smaller clubs I doubt it - there’s only so many people who will want to see a Bournemouth or even a Brighton. |  | | |
