Based on a simple calc: average £20 per ticket x 28k crown = £560,000 plus other revenues. It must be worth near £650k for the Albion or does the FL take a slice? A great budget boost for Gus!

How much is the play-off Semi final worth to the Albion?

Its quite complicated, but in short, we pool all the gate money from all four semis, and that is shared amongst the four clubs, and the FL.
The football league do indeed take a slice. Somebody clarified a very similar query last week.
I'm sure I will be corrected if I am wrong...

Thanks!
So in theory, as we are possibly the biggest club in the playoffs, i will be giving money to Palace!!

How much is the tv money?
Correct. Although you'd assume that even a tinpot club like Palace would sell out for a play-off semi. If so, the capacities at Selhurst (26,300), Reebok (28700), City Ground (30,500), Walkers (32,000), KC (25,500) and the Amex (30,750) are all pretty similar, so it should be a reasonably equitable transaction. Watford (17,400) are the odd one out.

Another reason to hope Watford go up in the 2nd automatic slot.

What stand are these £20 tickets in?
Nothing compared to the play off final?
And not forgetting that simply staging a match at the Amex must cost a fortune. So not all profit in those ticket sales Barnham Blue!
How is the cost of a 1901 ticket factored in? Do the club have to stump up cash for these "free" tickets?

About another 100k isn't it for television rights each leg?

Thought they only get free tickets for cup games?
Nope. All first team home games are included.

And out of interest how much do these 1901 fans/customers pay for their season tickets?
It varies. Top dollar are the "Platinum plus" seats at £125 a month plus VAT, Platinum is £99 per month plus VAT. Gold are less. Payment is for all 12 months of the year.

That's not bad when you count all the League/FA cup games and now the play offs. Might inquire about getting one for next season.

Have you added the debenture payment as well? We paid 5k up front for each seat.
