Gate Receipts and TV Money: But the biggest chunk of the money comes from the gates receipts as Each finalist gets 45% of the wembley final ticket money. Last year when Bradford reach final they made around £1million in gate receipts and television cash. Chelsea and Tottenham pulled more crowd and higher TV money and both teams should have made a little over £1 million each from the final appearance in capital One Cup.
The sharing of gate receipts start from the first round matches every matches gate reciept is shared 45% each
between both home and away clubs while 10% goes to FA. That is why some time lower league teams are over joyed when they draw a top premier league side away. MK Dones defeated Manchester United in the early rounds of capital one cup this season and they got around £1.7 million shared in gate receipts of old trafford.So a good run of results for a lower league side in the Capital One Cup can bring them good results and if they can turn the odds win the cup they can also get a place in Europa League.
That is why Premier League teams dont take the cup seriously and mostly give chance to fringe players in the cup run and who can blame them, The survival in premier league will earn a team atleast £65 million and it will jump to in the region of £100 million from2016-17 season with new tv rights deal for premier league
Went to the Club Wembley website and there are some links there for websites offering hospitality packages, including a nights accommodation in London either before or after the game for around 500 pounds each. At least I know the tickets are genuine (thanks to D_P for his email with further info, too). The trouble is, I would prefer to travel up/back with Saints fan and have a night in Southampton if/when we win. Unless there are any plans for Saints fans to party on in London we can gatecrash?
I have fired off a few emails to try and discover if they still have availability and in what part of the ground they might be. Mighty inconvenient that you guys need to sleep while I am working!
In other news I now have our tickets for the Watford game! (yes, there is life after the Cup Final haha). Hopefully Man Utd will lose to Blackburn in the FA Cup and our match against them will go ahead on the 12th. I’m sure it will be easy to get a couple of tickets for that one if it is on…
Interesting. I seem to recall seeing that about 2800 tickets were left before it went on sale to 4 Homes.
So the club only sold 800 or so to that category?
Interesting, at that rate it COULD go down to Members with any Purchase History this season
Ouch.
So apparently lower tier sold out…
Unless you had 3 homes as they are on sale there for £72 this morning
Queuing time has gone up since you posted this. All sold apart from level 5 since last weekend so were did these tickets come from?
£90 tickets in block 141 are available now.
The other place infers it was an allocation change from the EFL.
Which makes sense - every FL club gets @an allocation of tickets - most of those are inclined to end up with Touts of course but some (honest) clubs obviously returned theirs
Or realised the demand was not worth the risk of being caught
Also rumours the Mancs got 5k extra allocated to them. Now that would be cause of a riot in meltdown land if that were true. Clearly a lot of lads like Smiler would buy on General Sale.
All gone now Phil. Cheers for the reason they were available.
I’m just happy i got myself and my daughter a ticket, even if we’re closer to the moon than the pitch
Category 4 now also available. They seem to be drip feeding them in. Have now seen every category today.
There’s hope for people without a ticket yet.
Buy your membership now @barry-sanchez
My ticket dropped on to the doormat today… nice!
About 650 left according to the other place
And Gawd don’t they still whinge. Cannot believe they are ranting about fans with 5+ home games that 1) Are not members and 2) didn’t have the brains to buy a membership.
Plus the moaners are all ones with tickets!
Think what a field day they’d have had back in '76
Who chose THAT game to give out the Voucher
I have commitments I couldn’t plan to sleep in the Dell Car Park for 2 days just to get a ticket.
I had 300 quid on me for a ticket in the Saints end in Cardiff but no fan wanted to sell any and touts wanted a Grand… But I could have been in with the Arsenal fans for that money
Blah blah blah
Go for it guys!
Extra 663 tickets available for Members with 3 Aways
3 hopes.
No hope.
Bob Hope
and
Envelope
With a ticket in it obviously.
TBH the lengths people will go through to avoid meeting me in a Pub in London before the game ffs.
Smilers going to Wembley, his knees have gone all trembly, la la la la, la la la la!
only downer is its club wembley so no club colours, but got 2 tickets and a nights accommodation in London for 720 smackaroos.
Just a little bit excited right now!
Pleased for you @smiler , hint for you if you see a portly bloke in Club Wembley talking golf stories, avoid him like the plague!!
