Quote: sally cinnamon "Why do we charge admission fees to come and watch Warrington?
Surely if we want to increase our exposure to the maximum audience possible, we should make it free entry.
The revenue lost from ticket sales would be more than compensated by the extra exposure....somehow, I think?'"
...Very mischeivous Sally.
Seriously, its a lot more complicated than that, and I think you know it...
Using your example then.....If Wire decided to charge £35 to watch a match, compared to say a tenner, would we get the same attendance??...
More than likely, for £35 you'd get your real hardcore fans, with virtually no casuals turning up....for the tenner you'd get a lot more casuals.
Of course, its got to be a case of balancing up your budgets....Either take a hit in your wallet in order to gain more exposure, or simply go with your faithful followers and keep the purse topped up.
