So get a 3 game or 6 game membership.Absolute rubbish.
The emptiest area for the Eels/Dragons game on Saturday were the most expensive seats - ie. the $100+ seats.
Not everyone can afford season ticket memberships but do like to go to the odd game here and there, like this one.
Honestly, a family of 4/5/6 is looking at $300 for 90 minutes of football at these prices.
When the cheaper seats are sold out, they have no choice but to decide to watch on tv.
The 19000 crowd on Saturday could have been 23-25 000 with reasonable ticket pricing.
We can do better.
It is not rubbish that...
a) memberships make going to games cheaper
b) the game's crowds are booming at the moment (all time high)
c) lowering ticket prices guarantees higher crowds. It can, but certainly not guaranteed
Basic supply and demand economics suggests the ticket prices are right because crowds are up and clubs balance attence with revenue. More people paying less could lead to a worse financial result for clubs.
