Just seen that Blackburn Rovers are doing a season ticket for 225 quid, even then the more expensive ones only just start to reach the prices of ours. I wonder how much of that is down to almost being relegated and how much is the Sky money.

Prob has everything to do with the sky money. Had this discussion last year and I think that other than the top 5-6 clubs down there you can get a season ticket for the rest for less than at Easter Road.
Crazy thing is you could get a season ticket for Malaga CF for £230. You might think it's only Malaga but when you consider they playing the likes of Real, Barca, Valencia and Atletico etc... We worked it out and the season ticket along with booking 4 return flights over the season cost the same as a ticket for the East .

the Blackburn Season Ticket seems to be mentioned quite regularly on here. Maybe we could give it it's own thread marker, like Yams or NHC.
Oh, and to answer the question. Maybe if Hibs got £40 Million per season from Sky, they'd be able to do the same.

QPR have done the opposite. Their cheapest ticket for a match next season is £47, and seasons have gone up by 40%

gate money is not hugely important anymore. TV and corporate sponsorship make up the lion's share.

I appreciate the Sky issue but even still it is quite depressing though when you consider some of the p!sh we'll be subjected to next season while paying almost double the price.
Even the unpleasantries of having the Old Firm visit are no longer compensated by having talent on the scale of the Laudrops and Larssons who would previously entertain and cannot be considered on a par with, say, home games against Arsenal or Manchester United.

A lot of the Blackburn prices have to do with competition with the Manchester teams. It's all too easy to head for OT or Eastlands instead of supporting your local club.
I recall when my son was at Lancaster Uni about ten years ago the students were offered cheap match tickets for Blackburn.
It's a constant struggle for them.

That kindof puts all these spend, spend, spend comments into some sort of perspective. Reality is a bitch!

Interestingly though, Blackpool's turnover in their promotion year was only £9m. The Championship isn't as rich as many people think until a club gets promoted out of it.

very inresting.As i have said in previous threads in and around this topic of epl teams/germany and there ticket/st ticket prices and what never seems to be mentioned or understood is how much more exspensive these teams are to run.For example blackburn, i would say there 1st team players would probably(this just a guess) would be on atleast 15 grand a week,
Now just say blackburn had everyone in there first team on 15grand a week and had 20first team players.
15k x 20......thats 300k a week
over a year 52 x 300k .....15million 600k.
Now i under that is a random guess but i reckon there wages and there x,y,z and what not would be more than high and that tv money and stuff would be needed to cover things like wages.

Nods well thank you for the info ,i honesty did not know the wagebill and stuff.I understand what your saying and all, but i think my point is is an epl club spend huge amounts of there income on high wages then they would not afford these big transfer fees.
Now i wonder if the spl somehow(ye i know its a big if and but) had the same amount of tv money the epl have, would the spl clubs be better?, better as in better players, better footie etc

As a sidenote, Man Utd pocketed just over £60m in TV revenue and Blackpool pocketed a cool £39m from Tv revenue - for being relegated

One big difference is that teams chasing promotion pay much more in wages - Blackpool paid a yam-like 144% of turnover. That's because promotion to the EPL is an accumulation worth speculating for - the SPL doen't offer anything like that because of the OF's stranglehold at the top.

On the second point, I'm sure if all Scottish clubs got the same level of inclme as their English counterparts we would see a huge improvement in our game, because we would be able to keep the likes of Fletcher and Brown and attract the Kevin Doyles and Stephen Hunts that go to lower placed EPL teams.

So actually I think if we are to criticise the board it shouldn't be for football activities - it should be on business ones. I think they could be doing significantly better on the commercial front - which I imagine is one of the reasons for Fife Hyland's appointment.

Ticket prices are mad at some clubs in The EPL, i booked up to go down to London for The Hammers game at the w-end some time ago. I put off buying a match ticket until I knew if they had anything to play for, didnae fancy forking out at least £46 for a meaningless game v Sunderland!

Everything is relative to the market in which they operate. We have 5th highest income in the SPL so you could argue that we do resonably well within our market place. There is not much between Us, Hearts and Aberdeen in that regard, as there wont be between Blackburn, Bolton and Birmingham for example. The SPL is just not that attractive and for that sort of money you can get the EPL or Celtic and Rangers.
