In the context of high ticket prices and most families not having the luxury of large amounts of surplus cash for ‘entertainment’ it all detracts from attendances increasing anytime soon.Compare that price to say a Wetherspoon and it looks very high.
In reality its about about £1.50-£2 more expensive than a normal pub (non-spoons), it has a captive market hence why they raise prices bit but truthfully no one is forcing people to buy the pint and if it was so expensive people wouldn't buy it and the club would be forced to reduce the price.They have a business model
Which works. The price in venue doesn’t work to get anywhere near the volume of sales it could.But it’s also a price inflation you see on non alcoholic stuff too. It’s all overpriced and gives the impression of taking punters for mugs.If you come as the stereotype family of parents and kids you’d be mad not to bring your own refreshments.
The fans bar also has a much higher number of overheads compared to Spoons. The price isnt just plucked from the air. It's not taking the "punters" for mugs as they can quite literally as you said (The price in venue doesn’t work to get anywhere near the volume of sales it could) not buy beer from there ? The fact that it still operates at those prices means it must be successful otherwise they would drop the price of shut the bar ?1 -
When we went to Old Trafford they sold bottles that were not far short of a pint for £3 didn't they?1

As a price in a sports stadium it is probably average. My other club Surrey CCC charge £7.80 a pint for general public and £ 6.80 for members bars. It is the problem these days when wanting to socialise at a sports event.0

I paid £5.80 for a pint of stella in the Novatel hotel in Hammersmith on Sunday. I was expecting Fans bar prices when i went up to the counter.0

It could and should do better, and the price point is a key factor, just as it is for match day ticket prices.

I expect it to cost more at the valley than a nearby pub so don’t mind knowing it helps the club - the fans bar is great and free entry unlike it was years ago so we should remember that and the beer is now good - I paid £40 for 5 pints in a green king pub in Victoria on Friday and the only real ale was green king ipa - utter dross - now that felt steep when I normally pay circa £4 for a decent pint in Sidcup0

I can tell you a pint of Peckham Pale

What do you define as better ? lowering the prices would need to increase the footfall by a large number of fans, more fans equals more servers, more security more energy consumption.
What competition ? they literally have none hence why they can charge more.0 -

I just refute your assertion the price of £7.40 is not expensive (in the context of geographic location and the fact it’s a 3rd division football match).Do you suppose the price is the same (comparable?) at say Welling or Bromley for example in their bars and notably more expensive than their local pubs?

Seven odd quid for a pint of beer is shocking.In any establishment. No wonder pubs are closing. Can't blame the club, Blightly is too PriceyDefo hit Larry's cocktails sound like a bargain1

Better = price commensurate to local pubs and more people using all the bars
Better is also customer satisfaction and not just profit.But to repeat the main issue I had with your post was the suggestion it is not expensive or an unreasonable premium.It is for many.Yes some / a good number pay it but that doesn’t mean they don’t think it is expensive.3 -

for that extra £1.40you would need to drink 5 pints to get the point where one has cost themselves a pint by drinking at a more expensive place.
If the cost of the fans bar is too much for you personally, no one is forcing you to drink there. just leave it to those that are happy and can pay their prices, instead of complaining that its not 100% to your suiting. That is the bottom line.0 -

What do you define as better ? lowering the prices would need to increase the footfall by a large number of fans, more fans equals more servers, more security more energy consumption.
What competition ? they literally have none hence why they can charge more.
I just refute your assertion the price of £7.40 is not expensive (in the context of geographic location and the fact it’s a 3rd division football match).Do you suppose the price is the same (comparable?) at say Welling or Bromley for example in their bars and notably more expensive than their local pubs?
PS being an arse about the use of single quotation marks does nothing to enhance your argument either.It’s simple. The drinks are expensive. That is the bottom line
And again I ask you if we lower prices we have additional costs in stock, servers, energy, security ? how do you propose we pay for all that ?0 -

I get its slightly more expensive than a normal pub but its not ludicrously expensive.
In the context of high ticket prices and most families not having the luxury of large amounts of surplus cash for ‘entertainment’ it all detracts from attendances increasing anytime soon.Compare that price to say a Wetherspoon and it looks very high.
In reality its about about £1.50-£2 more expensive than a normal pub (non-spoons), it has a captive market hence why they raise prices bit but truthfully no one is forcing people to buy the pint and if it was so expensive people wouldn't buy it and the club would be forced to reduce the price.They have a business model
Which works. The price in venue doesn’t work to get anywhere near the volume of sales it could.But it’s also a price inflation you see on non alcoholic stuff too. It’s all overpriced and gives the impression of taking punters for mugs.If you come as the stereotype family of parents and kids you’d be mad not to bring your own refreshments.
The fans bar also has a much higher number of overheads compared to Spoons. The price isnt just plucked from the air. It's not taking the "punters" for mugs as they can quite literally as you said (The price in venue doesn’t work to get anywhere near the volume of sales it could) not buy beer from there ? The fact that it still operates at those prices means it must be successful otherwise they would drop the price of shut the bar ?
It could and should do better, and the price point is a key factor, just as it is for match day ticket prices.
Know your competition is the advice they miss.

Competition = local pubs/clubs
Better = price commensurate to local pubs and more people using all the bars
Better is also customer satisfaction and not just profit.But to repeat the main issue I had with your post was the suggestion it is not expensive or an unreasonable premium.It is for many.Yes some / a good number pay it but that doesn’t mean they don’t think it is expensive.
Regardless we are not going to agree and have a different perspective.0 -
What I don't get is the moaning about it.
There are plenty of alternatives. Including not drinking.
I'm a great believer in, if you don't like doing something, stop doing it. Don't carry on doing the same thing, and continue to moan about it. Nobody's forcing you to do it.“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana
