    Derry City's season tickets for 2014 are the same as last year (still inclusive of archaic discrimination against men in their early sixties).

    Adult Stand = £180/€215
    Concession Stand = £125/€150 ( Women > 60, Men > 65, & Students with card )
    Adult Stand + 1 Child U12 = £220/€265
    Adult Stand + 2 Child U12 = £255/€305
    Adult Stand + 3 Child U12 = £270/€325

    Adult Terrace = £155/€185
    Concession Terrace = £115/€140

    ------------------------------

    Going by last year's attendance figures, I'd say our budget will be reduced a bit this season.

    On the other hand you could get into any Bundesliga ground for less than €15. And most from Serie A.
    Can get to see Fc Basel for about 20 Euros at home, tkt can be used for tram around the city, and a decent seat to view the game.
    20 euros is a joke for the LOI imho

    €20 is way too high for LOI. You might get away with charging that for European games but certainly not LOI league matches.

    We charge €10 for Terrace and €15 for stand and you have people complaining.

    pricing is always a difficult issue in LOI. attending a match is a 'luxury' item for most fans ( as opposed to a necessity ) and is therefore very price responsive. With so many clubs living hand to mouth changing it can literally make or break a club.

    Given the ongoing recession I believe all clubs ( with the exception of St Pats maybe ) should be looking at decreased budgets for next season unless they have discovered new income streams. Contracts once signed can be difficult to get out of so clubs must budget with a healthy dose of realism and not some hopeful dreams of increased crowds.
    Frankly, Drogs cup success should have boosted their crowds (bandwagoners) . If it actually indirectly led to smaller crowds what basis would there be for believing a less successful cup season would lead to increased crowds ?

    Prize money in the LOI is so low as to be almost worthless in a budgeting context ( Prem division prize money for 4th place less than League registration fee ).

Total cost for Family Group of 4 that you mentioned- either €15 to €30. (I pay €22 for 1 adult and 1 child in most grounds as a visiting fan)


    On-pitch success is the no 1 attraction of new fans (although price is obviously an important factor)
    But when you bring kids to a game there are usually other expenses, food, sweets, drinks, merchandise. Then if you have this expense every 2nd week it fairly mounts up. I agree quality football is the best way to attract fans but you have to get then in the door first.

    Admission in Finn Park for 2013 were
    Adult Terrace: €10
    O.A.P. Terrace €8
    Student Terrace €5
    U-12 €3(€1 Only when accompanied by full paying adult) - Quite a few games during the season admitted U-12 free
    *€2 extra was paid inside the ground for those who wanted to use the seats

    Those type of figures are running costs from top to bottom, not the player budget. I think in 2012 all in to run the club was 1.65 million.
    Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
    Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
    Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

    It some achievement when you think that the club is run by volunteers.

    I think Shamrock is the highest running cost. Read somewhere before that its well over 2 million. I think they pay a lot of their staff tho, from their committee members to the kitman get paid I believe!

    In 2011 Sligo reported a turnover of €1,291,613 with a profit for the year before tax of €59,962

    This may satisfy your curiosity on where the income came from back then:

    Still a very good deal though. Slightly odd that students pay the same on terrace and stand.
