Yea. but talk to the non die hard man in the street. you cant fill a stadium with that price. Me , you , and everybody here will go no matter what price, So the TTFF have to market to the regular guy on the street to buy a ticket . the stadium is already small with on 25,000 capicity. That should not be hard to fill out for a one time event. ttff marketing strategy is just weak. Something like 1/2 price for college students and seniors is a simple thing to fill up the extra empty seats
They need to do the math and some research to figure out what price will fill the stadium plus make business sense. Harsh as it may sound, filling the stadium, while it may be the end objective is not the only objective....If yuh price to high- you'll lose money on empty seats (depending on how many are left empty), if yuh price too low, yuh would lose money on margins... A focus group should really run a meaningful survey and find out what people's price limits are...and then the Nat'l stadium needs to do a better job at sectioning off the stadium and having people sit in their numbered seat.... This way you can charge variable rates in grounds and stands.....as opposed to one flat grounds fee and one flat stands fee. I know Trinis go bawl, and carry on, and fret because that's "too structured and organized".... but it's an adjustment that we need to make as a progressive society....and the end result is beneficial because there will be a greater quantity of varying prices to suit the varying levels of spending tolerance. That's how it is up here, and I'm sure Trinis eh makin' a peep when they go to a game here....
Lastly, Trinis need to mentally adjust to world prices and realize that things are just more expensive these days...Paying $500 TT for a game is pretty damn steep, but it's not really that outrageous in the whole global scheme of things- especially for a big game...
