Still more of a gesture than our government made. As a flat rate vat payer, I'm actually less well off.
Thank you darling.

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. -------------------------------------------------- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2008 2:08 PM To: "Chris Briggs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "list leedslist" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] profit > 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. > > Andy C > > > Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Chris Briggs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2008 11:16:27 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; list > leedslist<[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [LU] profit > > > You can't praise or criticise the club for altering ticket prices.
