Had a friendly last monday - home team had 55,000 seat stadium and was a Div 2 team and I am div 3 - only got 9251 fans.

That seemed about 1 fifth of what could have been expected? The only modifier I have read about is the tickets being half price so that's not it. What am I missing?

Friendly crowds are only a fifth of normal crowds.

I didnt say fifth so a stadium. I said fifth of normal crowds. The same calculations for regular game are used fot friendlies. So you could possibly see a difference of 10K of seats.

So some math -

I got $74,615 from this as the away team.

Tickets were half price so that would normally be approx $150,000.

so if he has built all the VIPs and Execs then

3500 * $110 = $385,000
5751 * $60 = $345,060

So that should have been $730,060

So it looks like 50% (half price tickets) and then about 1 fifth i.e. about one tenth overall.



Now if we work backwards from a more normal situation with a normal crowd -

5 * 9251 = 46,255 (about what such a match would have expected with a div 3 team)

3500 * $110 = $385,000
9000 * $60 = $540,000
33755 * $20 = $675,100

Total - $1,600,100

So $1,600,100 / $74,615 = 21.4




I'm lost.

Is there less money if you're the away team?



Anyway, friendlys give you free cash, bpos and exp so................

So you could possibly see a difference of 10K of seats. Don't get me wrong, AFAIR there is a possible max of around 15k tickets. If the actual capacity is higher than that, the income is capped, based on the distribution of seats/exec/vip. If this was changed, I missed the notice about... Ive seen several approaching 20k, but as Pete said if u get 15k you are doing well

Totally agreed!
