Ich bin Bayern

What we could learn from the Germans.

That's what it's all about and huge respect to Germany....Here it's all about money and sky and the fans are irrelevant.

Although the sentiment is of course great they (along with Barca, Real et al) have enormous revenue streams from elsewhere that we, and almost all other football clubs don't.

Saying that German football does seem to have pricing under control across the board so they are doing something right.

It's easier for them to do it than it is is. We rely heavily on ticket sales. Bayern do not.
If we were to make the premier league the club maybe in a position to lower them as the TV revenue's are extreme. Until them the club are doing a fairly decent job at pricing tickets IMHO

Our tickets are way to dear compared to most in this league
Clubs don't lower ticket prices until crowds drop and if they don't they put up players wages instead.The fans may as well not bother going in the prem while lower down the ladder players wages take up about 80% of revenue.

Football will get worse until the players hideous wages are capped

So have they only got c.10,000 season ticket holders at that price?

 

[Lethargic]

So what price do the other lesser teams in Germany without Munich's revenue streams charge for season tickets. A quick look at Borussia Munchengladbach shows prices very similar to us so are Munich the exception?
I am all in favour of the German model but do Munich give a distorted impression?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Their last published statement amounts to a revebue of £420m. That's how they can 'give' tickets away.

 

[Hillian1]

3rd year running he's said that. Or maybe it's the same quote trotted out again.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Another German football love in... They have the most one sided league in Europe and Munich can afford do this because they have an outrageous amount of money coming in via over sources.

They are so much richer than anyone else in the league they can dismantle the closer rival in the league by buying the top players.

Premiership Clubs have enormous revenue streams and do not rely on ticket money but do you ever see these words from any of them?
(Apart from West Ham who have a stadium to fill).
The post is not about comparing German Football to Brighton but to English Clubs attitude to fans...

Man Utd are the biggest club in the country and the current ticket prices on a game by game basis don't vary to much from Bayer.

West Ham have cut tickets as they got given a free stadium, disgracefully

Sadly true, but it has only been like this in the last few years. Still bottom of the league is a thriller. Stuttgart v HSV Saturday,
13 Hertha BSC 32 9 7 16 35:50 -15 34
14 Hamburger 32 8 8 16 22:48 -26 32
15 SC Freiburg 32 6 13 13 33:44 -11 31
16 Hannover 96 32 7 10 15 36:54 -18 31
17 SC Paderborn 32 7 10 15 30:62 -32 31
18 VfB Stuttgart. 32. 7. 9 16 38:58 -20. 30
Two games to go.
