I remember reading that 87k at the MCG would made us around 750k (the Geelong game), Geelong also said they needed 75k at the MCG to make as much as one home game at skilled (which they make around 600k per game). Basic maths results roughly in the following sequence
-87,000 people = 750k profit
-75,000 people = 600k profit
-63,000 people = 450k profit
-51,000 people = 300k profit
-39,000 people = 150k profit
-27,000 peple = break even
Of course these numbers are rough as crowd isn't everything, eg when you play Melbourne and you get 40,000 you make less money than when you play Sydney and get 40,000, the reason being the number of MCC members attending. Also you then have to factor in the number of members attending vs gate receipts and corporate sales.
Nice work!
Good speculation anyway
Took a stab

Better than not contributing at all, mate.
Well done.

Had a quantitative methods exam at uni today, so I've been taking mathematically stabs all day.
The way I understand it though is in terms of the MCG tennants they are all pretty much better stadium deal wise than the Dome tennants (Essendon aside). Then at the MCG Collingwood/Melbourne have superior deals to Hawthorn/Richmond.
On another note people can say all they want about North vs Essendon and their deals at the dome, the facts are though Essendon draw the numbers, they demand the best deal, and because of this demand they allocate their seating different to North, meaning they charge more for tickets, eg with North all level 3 pretty much is a standard $20 odd per seat, whereas with Essendon earlier this year I tried to buy a ticket on level 3 and the front 15 or so rows were priced at $30 odd. So basically forgetting how much money TD gives back to clubs. If Essendon get 50k at the dome and North get 50k at the dome, Essendon generate more revenue, hence they would expect a better deal.
the only reason the MFC has a significantly better deal is because they still have large connections to the MCC. if they did not have the MCC connection, they would get jackThe AFL and its ASD funding scheme losses all creditablity right there. Its a joke how a club that draws considerably fewer patrons, corproate support, membership etc. has a more favourable tenancy then the 'lesser tenants'

Reading the story about the Dogs, it makes me wonder - how much do we get at the MCG per game?

Ticket prices have probably doubled since 2008. We should make well over $1m.Just bumping this out of interest if anyone has any idea what a potential full house against the magpies would mean financially for us now? Noting suggestions of around $750k for an 87k crowd back in 2008. Be nice to get a few extra dollars to sink into the dingley project
We also get some/most of the extra that non reserved seat members pay for a seat. There was minimal GA available for this week, and adults reserved seats were $45 - $100, so take away the $27 member discount and there is still $20 - $70 coming in for the school adult member upgrading.It depends on who attends the match. If 80k hawk members show up it is a terrible result for the club (from a purely financial perspective) as we have already received the funds in form of membership dues. There is a little bit of uplift from share of F&B sales.
If 5k Hawk members show up and the balance is Collingwood or Hawk non-members then we make a motza.
