Aaron you think I should stick to reviews huh? Many people would argue I'm not so crash hot at that either!
Obviously I'm not privy to all the costs of this event so my analysis isn't accurate. What my analysis did show is that you don't need 10,000 fans to get a decent gate. As for a bigger stadium there isn't much point when you aren't filling the current stadium.
Whilst fans will pay a premium the amounts suggested by Jamo are a bit too high. You can see it in the responses of what people want. It's the classic "yeah I'd pay but I want to see more". Mentioning a big screen, bringing in commentators, 50 stockcars etc it all costs money which in turn means the entrance fee would have to be higher again.
The other question to consider is does this meeting need to run at a profit. Why not use the proceeds from a demolition derby or fireworks special to help prop up this event.
I say that because for me personally my first ever night at Waikaraka Park was the second night of a superstock teams event. Since then I've probably been an average of 5 times a season every season and have dragged family and even some friends (I do have a couple of friends folks) through with me. So although my entry to that meeting was only $20 my attendance at that meeting has been worth probably $300 each and every season since.
It's a great meeting to attract new fans.

Great to see Percy being honest lol
13th team was another overseas team from somewhere in Europe(not Britain) hopefully next season
Auckland is a special teams event where the action is usually aplenty
format has been weird but looks as if they are rectifying that this march

marty are you suggesting that the dutch are going to send a team to the teams champs. Ha, they are far too PC for contact, they would do better to find five or six guys from dutch families in NZ to race for Oranje. How the hell do they race with clogs on thier feet?? Hup Holland hUP, Oranje Boven and all of that.
I sent my mums brother an email asking if they coming over for the teams, both sides of the family are quite united in this response....
Hello Michael, doesh it hang well?
Ja ,heeer in Nayderlund ve loike a little schtock kar raycing in onze clogs...but you weet well ( you know) dat it ishnt the mosht correct ting too doo, too haf a winnar, ve are all de shame, no singel man ish better dan de udder, sho we prefere to haf every wun finish de rayce at de shame toime so dear ish no bat feelinks wven isht all finished.
ve didnt loike hitler, ve didnt let da pope viszit holland becaush he ish a man abuff udders and we vont let peter rees in de kuntry, even dough he heft a dutch naam.... no no, geen (no) rees, geen Van Amsterdam met hish chassis, or dutchy 24, nott alouwed in holland, iff yu vant to wiin rayshis by shmashink udder people intoo de muur (wall) ve shtay at home met (with) onze (our) shpliffs, patat met (chips with peanut sauce) and onze buutifull Naydelandsh chickies, ja blonde hair, big blau ogen ( big blue eyes) ant onze shtokkars vill be shafe fom harrm parked owt de back wit de crop.
Ven we werre de eerst (first) kuntry to discova your NZ we gayf it a naam, New Zealand, after onze province Zeeland, Schite, if onze boy Abel Tasman knew dat it woult turn loik dish, we would have never told de stupid english how to foind it!! dishgraycefull behayfia at schtokkars in New Zeeland.
So Marty, im pretty sure there no cloggie team coming over, imagine the customs searching 6 dutch stockies, what is this, is this drug paraphenalia?, nay officer it ish a gear schtick, whats this then, ja officer dat ish a laqrge bak of tobacco from de hindu kush region, isht only green caush its shtill wet officer.....Is it legal, ja well in moy home town it isht leagal, ja.....

As for a bigger stadium there isn't much point when you aren't filling the current stadium. It's the classic "yeah I'd pay but I want to see more". Mentioning a big screen, bringing in commentators, 50 stockcars etc it all costs money which in turn means the entrance fee would have to be higher again. That don't stack up. Your saying that the stadium won't be full!, so why put up gate costs, if you put on the big show more people will come. If it's half fill at @1000x$20=$20000. Put on the big show and full the whole thing up @2000x $20=$40000 theres ya money to pay the expenses(note only using the figures as example I'm not sure on WP capacity). Only when you have a full crowd could you start thinking about putting the gate fee up for big events, otherwise people won't come because it's to expensive in the first place. If you struggle to pull big crowds for teams racing with a low gate fee then I think there is something broken in the organization/promotion. |

If you struggle to pull big crowds for teams racing with a low gate fee then I think there is something broken in the organization/promotion. One of the more laughable posts I've seen in awhile. Gate price is about maximising revenue while putting on a show that justifies the price. Just because you aren't filling the joint doesn't mean you lower the price. You could charge $5 and potentially still not fill the place. Halving the gate price would unlikely result in double the fans. And we do have a few Superstocks in Auckland so I would think our team will be a full Superstock lineup. |
