Ticketing is chump change compared to the 20 billion pounds the league generates from TV They are paid proportionally to how much money a club generates, not the other way around. It's not the only reason or even the main reason but players salaries are one factor in raising ticket prices, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,180 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 The prices of premier league tickets being so high isn't that suprising. There's limited supply (especially since we haven't had standing sections in the stadiums for decades), very high levels of demand. And demand doesn't change all that much because a lot of people only support one side and have an emotional connection to the side they support. And then you've got clubs prioritising profit over getting young people or working class fans into the stadium (historically the backbone of a clubs support) - because they're run by people who love money more than anything else in the world.

The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Ticket prices make a difference at Vanarama level but above that it doesn't really impact on how much a club is willing to pay a player. The spending during the pandemic from The Premier League and some Championship clubs show how willing some owners are to dip in to there pocket because of the potential rewards on offer.

From Champions League semi final threads to some fella kicking the bucket. Death, taxes and LFCMike talking about Everton. To be fair, you lot seeing a bloke's died and thinking "how can I make this about Everton" is a welcome change-up from the usual "how can I make this about Liverpool". Never want a hear a word out of you again about how we're bitter or obsessed with you.

You've become very touchy since Everton have been in the shit. Just having a laugh, don't remember you biting this much previously.

Maybe, but Raiola never took advantage of his clients right? As far as I’m concerned agents that protect their players and get them secure from other predatory agents and clubs are only a positive.

Raiola is surely a better force than the types that fleece young footballers for everything I don’t think we can really say. Sometimes I think encouraging players to move for the sake of getting a slice of the transfer fee has always worked out for his players, but how much of that is him acting on behalf of his clients and how much of that is his own pressure. For a certain player, Balotelli, I think an argument can be made he didn’t really act in his best interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
