Hospitality Reduced

[Globalfox]

The club sent out this morning a letter outlining hospitality offerings. There will only be the Fosse, Champions Club and Premier League Lounges plus the Executive Boxes. Surprised they closed the Gallery as last season it was probably the best food. Clear indication they are not expecting us to be as attractive to deep pocket spenders.

They now need to reduce the hospitality prices, which remained at PL level for the Championship and if followed into this season will be significantly higher than other L1 teams.

They could lower the costs to get people in

Speaking to someone a couple of weeks back and at that point only one box had renewed from last season. People didn’t renew after relegation from the prem because they didn’t drop prices, assuming the same now, people aren’t going to pay prem prices for league 1 football.

we went to the gallery last season on invite because we have bought some hospitality in the past, food was quite good and improved apparently - I think full price would have been over £300pp, I can't fathom how they can charge close to that in league 1? not only that, I just think so many people are checked out they will have to have a real re-think about their prices

You have to be mental to pay for this shit individually. It only ever seems to be for corporate jollies and now they’re probably all going to Forest or Cov.

It's not for live LCFC games they have massive screen in there and you watch the games from 2015/16 - perfect keeping the dream alive.

I enquired about a box in 2024 (mainly out of curiosity) and was told that the price was £44k + VAT. 
 

If true that the prices haven’t changed since then, who in their right mind would be purchasing a box, especially in this economic climate. 
 

Considering the club are owned by a merchandising giant, they really are poor at pricing. It’s really as simple as this, get bums on seats and then they will spend more on merchandise and food/beverages.

That hospitality based stadium expansion seems really viable now !

They have always been absolutely toss at commercials, retail and service. I guess that's due to them operating in a bribe based economy, no need for actual business skill there, hence Top and his chum.

We hospitality next season

Hate to say it but Derby is better, food is better the package includes more like free parking, alcohol included for same and similar prices. The new caterer OVG was not an improvement last year. We use hospitality at every away game and the pricing difference in League 1 is substantial. I understand them reducing the options as they did not sell out last year.

That’s a common tale we know multiple groups who have made it clear they will not be renewing their hospitality season tickets. I have renewed my Derby, Man City, Chelsea and Bournemouth hospitality tickets. Waiting on the call from Leicester to explain what they will do better than last year.. I agree maybe drop prices in Fosse to go for volume with Premier go the other way design a really high end offering as Bournemouth have done next year exploiting maximum revenue streams leave Champions Club as is maybe a little lower.. stop using 10 person tables and ending up with away scum sitting at a Leicester table main reason I will not use Champions Club although I love Ally’s handling of the Lounge. Wonder where Walsh goes now the Gallery is closed hope he host the Premier Lounge. Across the board the food has to be better.

The money gets it, the pleb in the stands not so much. 

 

Keep paying those PL monies for League 1 football serfs.

We have ceased to function as a normal business. The club think they’re beyond the pricing mechanism, supply & demand, regulations and sometimes statutory obligations.

 

It's not even sleepwalking into administration, that implies there is a lack of will instead it’s more like sauntering into it. The owner doesn’t have the mental provision to run the club nor does he have the humility to give it up.
