Mack Posted 12 August 2013 Share Posted 12 August 2013 Given that we have sold more season tickets for this season than for quite a long time and the then disappointing home attendance yesterday I was wondering if anyone else agreed that most fans now acknowledge the only real value in watching the Foxes is with a season ticket? The difference in price between buying week by week and for the whole season is significant, leading to those who can commit going the hole hog and the rest opting to pick and choose and wait for the club to offer discounted seats? Usually first home game of the season attendances are high out of curiosity and enthusiasm given a summer to forget the woes of the previous campaign, maybe a lack of exiting new signings has left the fringe fans without anything to turn up for? I've got a feeling our average gates will be lower for a while, and that will only change if we go on a significant run of positive results.

ADK Posted 12 August 2013 Share Posted 12 August 2013 Well i imagine some people are on holiday and then there is the fact the game is on Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 12 August 2013 Share Posted 12 August 2013 Well the areas of the ground that are the fullest are the cheapest,you'd think the owners would realise that the cheaper the tickets more fans would turn up. But regardless of how much tickets cost fans will still turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADK Posted 12 August 2013 Share Posted 12 August 2013 FPP means that more than ever the owners need to maximise revenue not fill the stadium, i think i read somewhere that most events maximise profit at about 70% capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamN Posted 12 August 2013 Share Posted 12 August 2013 Perhaps we just have a large clairvoyant following who knew that yesterday's match would be absolutely shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox in the North Posted 12 August 2013 Share Posted 12 August 2013 Personally I think it was due to the fact it was a Sunday, in the summer and it was on sky. If it was a normal 3pm kick off on Saturday, Id imagine that there would be more fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munshi Posted 12 August 2013 Share Posted 12 August 2013 I missed the Leeds game, I'll miss Derby and Brum because of Weddings/Holidays But I'll be right back in K1 with my season ticket louder than ever when im back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burmesefox Posted 12 August 2013 Share Posted 12 August 2013 there must be a computer programme or eqauation whereby teh club can measure the effect of pricing on attendance and the maximisation of profits. Airlinbes can do this easily with fluid pricing in accordance with demand. The problem is that us STH will be pissed off if prices are lowered to encourage more fans to attend when sales are low. Having said that they could always offer a cash back at the emnd of theh season to account for this. The spin off revenue of club shop sales, programmes, and food and beverage also has to be taken into acount. The final part is that more fans means better home support which acts as a motivational inspiration to the players and actually helps attract new signings.

leicesterseddon Posted 12 August 2013 Share Posted 12 August 2013 Perhaps we should wait till we have an untelevised game at 3pm on a Saturday, outisde of the holiday period, before we start making predictions for the attendence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
