Competition - VIP JPT final tickets

by Svlad Cjelli » 24 Mar 2011 18:19

We're offering the chance for five lucky fans to get their hands on a pair of tickets for the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy between Carlisle United and Brentford at Wembley on Sunday April 3rd for absolutely nothing. That's right, free tickets!

And these are not just any old tickets, either. We've got two Club Wembley seats worth £150 each up for grabs, meaning you and a friend get the full treatment of a meal and drinks before the game and one of the best seats in the house from which to watch the match.

Who in their right mind would pay £150 for this fixture?

People who like hospitality - and/or support one of the teams.

It's probably a lot cheaper for this than for other matches.

Aren't the FSF supposed to be against corporate match day 'experiences'?

No - why should they be? Corporate matchday experiences can and should be used to subsidise ticket prices for other supporters. They're all part of today's football.

It doesn't work like that though does it, clubs are generating more and more cash through execs whils standard prices continue to go up. Corporates have a huge knock on effect to the rest of the ground, they kick up a fuss and the club are on their side. They're a huge reason as to why normal supporters have been pushed out. No surprise to see the FSF free jolly crew supporting them though.

I know for some games at Wembley - the ones that corporate types don't give a shit about - the middle tier is turned over to regular supporters. I'm can't see any way that could be described as supporting corporate hospitality.

These tickets, if the quoted value is true, sound rather expensive, so maybe they are in genuine corporate hospitality.

In many parts of the world corporate support genuinely does subsidise tickets. Given that there doesn't appear to be any link between ticket prices and the number of executive boxes teams have, it's clear it makes no difference at all in this country. It's just treated as extra income.

I'm not against corporate boxes in principal. There's certainly nothing to suggest Reading fans in the west stand (or anywhere else in the ground) suffer in any way because of a line of boxes in the stand. It only becomes a problem at a larger scale where whole tiers of grounds are given over to boxes, such as at Arsenal or Wembley. By bending over backwards to suit the box holders, clubs seem to care little that they are shafting the ordinary fans by giving them poor views as a result. The lower tier at Arsenal, for example, probably offers the worst view in professional football in this country, with the exception of Brighton and Rotherham who are playing in temporary venues. That's all because they squeezed in two tiers of boxes, and there were limits to how steep they could make the top tier above them.

Or at the most unlikely venue to have a whole stand of executive boxes:
