Cost of football - Liverpool FC 2014

Just found this on the internet.Showing comparisons of the lowest vs highest cost of tickets and and other stuff.

I go to every home game and on average it costs me around £100 every game....certainly isn't a cheap day out.

Cheapest ticket at £37. And how many of them are there available per season out of the approximate 1M seats per season?  I had an obstructed view in the main stand for the derby (most main stand tickets are obstructed) and I think it was about £56.

The £35M increase in TV money alone per season for each club should have been used to reduce ticketing prices.  Even if half of it was used it could have taken about £20 off each ticket.  And the point isn't whether or not there is supply and demand, the point should be what is ethically right.

You are not selling airline seats to customers who can just fly with a cheaper airline - you are selling tickets to loyal fans. 

I get the distinct impression that if I walked up to a club, offered them £20M but they must use it in full to reduce ticket prices, then they would probably turn you away.  It's a scandal, and through season tickets, and even auto cup schemes the clubs now have fans in their back pockets.

Can you ever see FSG giving money away in the form of discounted, tickets not a chance

The prices are extortionate.

Did Man.C even pay for their stadium to be built? I thought Manchester City council stumped up most of the cost for the Olympics/Commonwealth games or something like that, from memory, no?

Otherwise I cannot see how their prices are so low. If I remember rightly, that was one of the primary reasons they were bought out by the sheiks because they didn't have to build a new stadium. By all accounts, had we have had a new stadium or expanded our own, our club would have been snavelled up by the super rich who could have just come in and thrown money at the team. As it stands, we've therefore got owners who have to think long term and sustainable.

As for the two giants in Spain, well I'm pretty sure over the years Madrid have been propped up by the State which is totally illegal. I read an article months back where Madrid council had a bit of land by the bernabeu and that Madrid wanted to buy it off them for a car park/training ground or to put shops on, whatever. The club bought the land for (I can't remember the exact price) for half a million Euros or thereabouts, then sold it back to the council a few years later for something like 22 M Euros.
