Quick calculationLosses 1M per year, season ticket $197, need 5076 additional members (ie more than current membership) to negate that loss
Isn't the season ticket a bit more than that - $250 for silver membership (think that's what I paid)? Plus there would be people paying for gold membership which costs even more.
Even so, a significant increase in membership sales would be necessary.
I think hepatitis is quoting AUD$
Yes I was, taking it off the comparison of membership prices in another thread, so it will be less than that in effect.
Several will be pensioner and student memberships at 155, so randomly taking 3 silver, 1 gold, 1 pension and 1 student as the average mix, the membership ave is 230, which means 4347 more needed to cover 1M
Maths, I love it
The benefit of the club selling lots of season tickets isn't so much that it's increasing the total number of ticket sales over a season. In fact, it's a fair argument that season ticket sales actually just cannibalise game-by-game sales. The real benefit is in having the cashflow early on in the season, and cashflow, as they say, is king.
