City used to count all their passholders if they attended or not (probably still do..but its always a sell out anyway) maybe we have amended our SMC deal to do the same.

in the first few years of the KC we frequently had sub 10k gates, and tonights crowd looked no different to those.

Please explain how that works with the voucher exchange scheme.

Wrong. That's only City. We have a voucher exchange scheme so can't count passholders who aren't there even if we wanted to.

It looked about 10k tonight so not sure why people are making deal about it TBH.

What does the announced attendance have to do with the amount of tax we pay?

Did anyone else get made to walk through the turnstiles twice like they made me do ?

That could explain a differnce if a lot did

They're disappointed that it wasn't half that number.

Because if we announce 10,000 instead 9,000, we have to pay tax for 1,000 tickets that we never actually sold (that is a pretty crude explanation I know because its not taking into account season passes).

Bollox, we pay tax (I assume you mean VAT) based on the VALUE of tickets sold. there is no direct relationship between the announced attendance and the amount of VAT we collect and pay

I believe we have to pay a form of income tax.

We pay corporation tax on any profit we make at our financial year end.

if anyone can let me know how much tax/VAT we pay on a 10,300 crowd I'd love to know

How do you think the VALUE of tickets sold is arrived at?

By the amount of income we receive for them. The announced attendance doesn't dictate it and to suggest that inflating the attendance figure is in some way fiddling HMRC is complete tosh

Which is the product of the individual ticket price multiplied by the number of tickets sold, yes?

but what if all 10,300 were concessions paying £10?

its impossible to tell from just the attendance figure, some paid £10 to go, some paid £50+ for a corporate seat
