Hmmmm.. £35 to watch around 65 mins of Premier League football, which is authentic, has jeapordy, has consequence, prizes worth winning, and no Mickey Mouse operating model, or £30, (or "just" £25 in the pauper seats), to watch 15 mins of Premiership Speedway without any of the attributes a team sport requires... Decisions, Decisions... Are any clubs offering a "young adult" ticket? I heard on the radio the other night that Nottingham Forest FC are reintroducing their young adult ticket, other football clubs seem to do similar scheme offering 25% discount for 18-24 year olds 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U16 - £190 (a tenner a match) 16/17 - £275 (under £15 a match) 18/20 - £413 (under £22 a match)... 21 and over pay adult prices, cheapest is £29 a match.. And that has risen with "Glazernomics".. Still good value though fo encourage the younger sections of society to attend... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really compare though as they have so much more budget/disposable income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the cost for us, the wealth of the club! I'm sure speedway clubs would love to be in the position to offer admission at £10 but they're not. Nor are the majority council subsidised.

The thing is surely it's better to have a bunch of 18-24 year olds in for £15-£18... + maybe burger, chips and a pint (I know some tracks don't receive catering money) rather than none at £25. Speedway's pricing structure is so rigid, you go from next to nothing as a non adult to a massive £25 minimum as an adult whatever your age. As a sport with such an aging supporter base there doesn't seem to be any middle ground for the next generation of supporter.

They could afford cheaper admission if they didn't pay around £200k for three heat leaders... Maybe have only two of them, run six rider teams, and use the money saved to have a budget of £75k or so, to target some "special offers" prices, on certain nights... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted 36 minutes ago Report Share Posted 36 minutes ago Better still, don’t use any of them and offer £15 entry with any number of kids free. Watching a Belle Vue team around the NSS at that pricing and we’d eventually see a big resurgence in the sport wouldn’t we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
