Just seen compared to 15th place our 9th place is worth an additional £15m to the club. This is over half of our seasons gate receipts Just incredible sums involved in PL and a big part of me thinks with gate money playing such a small part of income there is no justification in present costs of tickets
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Additional TV money for 9th place
- Thread starter amexer
- Start date
The amount we pay for a ST or Match Ticket includes the travel subsidiary, without it, tickets would cost 2p.

Thank you PB
So we're either charging too little on the gate to make much difference or we pay too much which should mean it does make a difference. Which is it?
And if £15M is over half of a season's gate money then I'd say £30M it's quite important.

It's not far off being equivalent to a season's gate receipts! I seem to remember a figure of something like 17-18m.

Try discussing the cost of our season tickets with Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea fans. I’m sure they’ll enlighten you about your view on justification of ticket prices.
Oh, by the way, there is the small matter of the club paying back Tony Bloom the millions he loaned the club for a state of the art stadium and training ground.

As I understand it TB doesn't want anything back for these though I'm sure he wouldn't say no to something for the rest of the money he's put into the club for players etc.

Could some of this £15m be used to take the full away allocation for all games next season
Or move the away section to a corner at The Amex...

There really is an ignorance about the travel surcharge REBATE that some fans benefit from.
When I purchased my Season ticket before Falmer opened it was clearly stated that the ticket price included a travel Surcharge, indeed the last paper ticket I purchased for a Grandson clearly stated the cost included a £4 travel sucharge .
Also the travel zone is of particular benefit to people from as far as Eastbourne but useless to many areas in mid West Sussex.
However I am reassured to know I benefit from the footpaths around the ground (PB told me so)
It is like people calling invoices from parking spivs "Fines", call it for what it is, a rebate( and if you are training it in from Worthing or Eastbourne one subsidised by the likes of me)

As mentioned on another thread :
Position Prize money

As you may have spotted in the table of prize money, Premier League clubs receive an extra £2.2m for each position higher up the table.
Aside from sporting prestige, the greatest incentive for clubs to reach for and stay in the Premier League remains the vast TV money on offer.
Half of the TV jackpot is split evenly between the clubs, which gave each side around £84m during the 2021/22 Premier League season.
A quarter is used as prize money — officially called merit payments — and a quarter is divided up according to various factors, including how often clubs have appeared in televised games.

I actually think the ticket prices as a Brighton STH are pretty reasonable. My ST works out at £28.55 per game (including travel), with away tickets capped at £30 (and often cheaper).
Interesting to read the various proposals for how to use the PL prize fund money, from reducing ticket prices, to squad strengthening, to repaying part of the owner's investment and everything else in-between.
But in reality I expect PB had about 25 missed calls on his phone this morning from players' agents, asking when their fifty-grand-a-week clients can expect their share of the booty in their pay packets.

They already know what they will get, every permanent staff member is on a bonus related to final position. All will know what bonus % they can look forward too

As per the post from [MENTION=43146]wuntbedruv[/MENTION] every permanent member of staff gets a bonus related to our final league position.
On top of that agents won't be making those phone calls as all bonus paid to players have to be declared in their contracts, it's why clubs have previously found themselves in trouble for daring to buy players McDonalds after a win as it's considered a non contractual bonus payment which is a big no no as far as the football powers that be are concerned.

Is that why Rainieri made such a thing of him buying his squad pizza?

I live - in Sussex - outside of the travel zone but have to travel across it to reach Falmer - hence i benefit from it. its not the same as if i lived in Hove or Eastbourne or Seaford or Haywards Heath but not sure why if you don't , Its "useless".

I don't know the Ranieri story but in the case of the linked story i included in my post the reason Accrington Stanley fell foul of the rules is the meals were only purchased when the team won, so they were considered a non contractual winning bonus. If a manager wants to buy his team a meal after the game, he can, he just has to make sure he doesn't only do it when they win. And that the players keep shtum about it on social media.
