Using the £25 as an example and by reducing that ticket by £1 and the vat
rate by 2.5% only actually gives a vat free difference of 23p, albeit a 23p
loss to the lufc coffers.
If you look at it from Cat A game in the East or West Stand LUFC are only
making a 5p reduction on the vat free price of the ticket.
Not such a big gesture in real terms. It won't take many increased tickets
sale to make up for this deficit. What might seem like a 'noble' gesture
appears to be a calculated marketing ploy when you scratch the surface.

You can praise the club.
A 2.5 drop in vat percentage points is a 2.1 percent drop in overall
price.
Not sure what price tickets the 1 pound drop applies to, but if it was for
a 25 pound ticket then that represents a 4 percent drop.

You can't praise or criticise the club for altering ticket prices. The
change in VAT is due to government policy change.

Subject: [LU] profit
Cannot believe no-one has commented on the fact that we made a profit of
£4.5m of which £900 is trading profit from a turnover of £23m.
Anyone know what this really means and what are the implications ?
Usually a few of you have stuff to say about finances and Bates.
Also ticket prices have dropped £1 per game cos of VAT reduction - any
praise or criticism for the club on that one ? Will it make any real
difference ? Is there anyone on the list who will now go to (more) games
since it is £1 cheaper ?
