Re: Boxing Day with Bulls
As much as I’d like to go and support the young lads that play £50 for a family of 4 is just too much at a time of the year when money is tight for a meaningless friendly.
I doubt the club will change the pricing for this game but they need to have a long hard think in the future.

Re: Boxing Day with Bulls
i shall be going but who ever thought of charging this amount of money to watch our under 18S ought to give their head a shake in the normal season £3 --£1 50 was the price to watch our 19S last year

Always thought the Boxing Day fixture was a waste of time once we moved into the summer era.

Re: Boxing Day with Bulls
It would be a nice gesture to change the junior price to £5 given the time of year and in the long run with more family's likely to go really won't cost the club muchCasmania wrote: ↑08 Nov 2019, 15:57 The pricing structure is steep @ £15 and £10 especially when team will be made up of chiefly under 19s etc.
When you look at the Leeds Rhino's v Wakefield game where juniors are priced at only £5.
GB v Australia junior tickets are only £10 for a test match where the best players in the world will be playing!
I hope, even at this late stage the club reconsider or at least introduce a discount for season ticket holders.

He’s a good lad Robbie, he really needs to be playing at a decent level this year championship minimum along with Turner,Carr and summers otherwise they will stagnate. I hope York are willing to give them that exposure.

Re: Boxing Day with Bulls
Aren't friendlies split gate? Prices are high but I wonder if that is why.
3000 fans, max of £45k if all adults. Less if you factor in juniors and concessions.
Once costs have been taken into account, you are probably only looking at £15k per team.
Club has to make revenue/profit from every game it can.

Re: Boxing Day with Bulls
If it's cas second team against a bulls side that I don't even know have got 17 players registerd at this moment in time it will be a poor show charging them prices IMO

Which is what I'll be giving the club on boxing day.
Price the friendies properly and I'll go, I'll buy 3-4 beers and a burger.
The question is does charging these prices for ~1,000 (the crowd I'd expect) make up for any lost crowd members and in ground purchases?
I don't know, all i know is that the club can't want my money that much.

You are correct, gate receipts are split after costs are removed.HuddsTigers wrote: ↑09 Nov 2019, 10:58 Aren't friendlies split gate? Prices are high but I wonder if that is why.

However your assumption that costs equate to one third of revenue is grossly exaggerated. Players are contracted, match day duties are part of staff contracts - they do get time off in lieu. Costs are limited to bar staff wages, turnstile operators, match day doctor, security, collection by securicor of gate/other receipts.
In addition to gate receipts, there are match day sponsorship, hospitality, programme sponsorship and sales, golden gamble, bar receipts, food and beverage sales, merchandising sales.
Some of these sales are dependant on the attendance, quite simply a larger crowd results in greater income.
Charging so much for such a game like this will reduce the crowd and resulting ad-hoc sales and income.

Re: Boxing Day with Bulls
Not exaggerated just an approximation.
A 3,000 crowd isn't going to be all adults, just like it's not going to be all concessions/juniors. Taking a mid-range view of £37,500 minus a couple of thousand off for costs is around £18,750 each.
I doubt the club will bother running a programme for the match (not worth it) and not convinced sales on food/drink will outweigh the cost for a friendly. Merchandise sales should be treated separate to the match costs since they won't be split with Bradford.
