Texsox Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I was thinking about the attendance this week and isn't it about time for baseball to start reporting the ticket revenue not the attendance. How about yeterdays gate was $265,740? Before you scoff that's how movies do it. They don't say 1,000,400 people bought tickets to the Hulk, no, they'll tell you the movie took in $50,000,000 this weekend. Then we have a fair comparison of Tuesdays 25,000 vs. Wednesday's 19,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Or, you could do it like concert attendance reports, where the line reads like this: ( purely an example ) Metallica - Hawthorne Race Course, Cicero, IL - 6,358 for a gate of $476,850. ( based on the ridiculous $75 ticket price ) I personally don't have any problem with simple attendance figures being given, although I would like it to be split between tickets sold and tickets actually used.

clujer420 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 ridiculous $75 ticket price For 3 hours of live Metallica, $75 is very well worth it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 For 3 hours of live Metallica, $75 is very well worth it IMO. Vintage 1988 Metallica, I couldn't agree more. Metallica since 1991..........not worth 10 bucks per ticket, IMO. It's just not the same band, not the same style of music. Anyone who likes them now, more power to you. I don't like where they've decided to go, so I jumped off a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I don't know if major league teams want to disclose what they make off gate receipts from every game all year long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
