Thanks for the comparison with another country, a different league, and a season that is 46 games long...
My point is it is hard enough to get people to come along for $10 a game, let alone anything more. We should be having incentives to get people in the gate, not putting barriers up to not going. I reckon $5 a game, kids free. And every registered Mainland player (who already pays a Canterbury Utd levy) gets one free ticket to use at a game over the year.
The Canty website and Facebook posts all say $10 an adult. Nelson are free, Southern used to be free, interesting how other teams do it.
I agree, the cheaper the better in order to boost crowd numbers - biggest crowds in the league last season.
But I imagine that Canterbury United need the money to sustain the team.
$10 seems reasonable.
The entry fee for the league is fairly steep and they have to provide for the many out of town players they've brought in (and they have to bring in players - a team based only on local players would be pretty mediocre).
The other teams in the league are generally charging $10 or more.
Auckland City has been $15 the last two seasons and have been happy with their crowds.
Team Wellington charged $15 last season I think.
Southern were a gold coin donation last season but $15 and $10 the two seasons before that.
Nelson are free in their first season due to substantial sponsorship from Nelson Pine Industries but it's unlikely they'll maintain that.
There's some discussion on ticket prices here:

Supporters in Auckland wish they could pay as little as $10 in their dreams:
