Will the FA Cup 4th Round be our first £1,000,000 turnover game?

[Silverhatch]

If it's the Gooners and on ITV it might get close!

Tickets, TV, digital advertising, one off sponsorship opportunities, beer and pies.

We would still manage to lose money on it somehow.

Thought we beat that first league game at the Amex vs donny when including merchandise sales on the day

Do you know what the the club make for a league game?, I haven't got a clue. I think arsenal will be a nice little earner!

Can't wait for a potential Wenger pic with our physio in the background. Arsene/Ring

 

[brightonmark1234]

hopefully every ticket sold and everyone turns up and no empty seats

 

[Brightonia]

I'll be there regardless of who it is!

Surely if it were v Arsenal and televised, this would EASILY turnover £1m?

24k @ a modest average of say £26 = £624,000
3k @ say £40 for each 1901er = £120,000
TV money + advertising boards bonus = £200,000

Would leave us just needing each person in the crowd to spend ONE pound.



(of course this is TURNOVER, rather than profit, and we only actually get 45% of the gate money ourselves)

 

[Husty]

Average of about £32 more like.

I listed 1901 seperately, so it would not be as high as £32. There are are quite a lot of kids and pensioners.

In 1901, all cup games already paid for, as part of the package. So, you are back to £824k. But, average spend in Amex c.£5 per head (I seem to remember from last year), so that should add back c.£150k.

A few Aresenal/Albion scarfs and we should be there.

Because the gate money is shared with the opposition and the FA, there would have to be a value attributed to each 1901 seat, and added into the 'gate money' total. At a minimum this would be the normal price of a WSU seat.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

We get 45%, Opponent 45%, FA 10%............... do they share the costs too? Doubt it. Off-set expenditure I expect because we keep all additional income from food, merch etc. but while the total turnover for the game will be about that, we won't make any more final profit than from a league game I wouldn't think

Surely they split the profits not revenue?

Donny at home turned over £1.25million allegedly...

Well if that's the case then edit the title to "Could this be the first £2m Turnover game?"

 

[Garage_Doors]

Will never ever happen. For what ever reason, missed bus/train/plane, medical emergency you will always get some that don't make it to a game.

I think the term is 'after operating costs' or something similar but yes it profit not revenue.

 

[Durlston]

Arsenal have got Manchester City and Chelsea in between the FA Cup 3rd round replay. There's no way they'll play a full-strength team against Swansea and if their best line-up got beaten 2-0 by the Swans earlier in the season at The Emirates, these threads could end up looking ridiculous.
