Most are saying an increase of around 30-45% on the current deal of £3bn. To make it around £4-£4.5bn which is crazy.
This does not include the overseas deals

With this much tv money coming in, then the less Premiership teams rely on season ticket sales /merchandise.
I am all for stadium expansion, but when a new owner comes in I could understand if they were not in a rush. |
They could decrease the cost of season tickets massively and it wouldn't matter a bit. |  |

Our directors will be happy, as they can sell their shares for a lot more now |  |

To an extent, yes, and it doesn't make us any richer compared to the other clubs in our league. It does however mean that we would be further ahead again of the Championship and better able to compete with bigger teams in other countries in terms of wages. |
Yes thats true. |  |

Indeed I think a season ticket is around £500 at Swansea? The annual increase just from this deal if you placed the same as last season and had the same number of matches televised would be the equivalent of 60,000 season tickets per year.
We all know that at most there will be a ticket price freeze for some clubs for a year or two though and maybe a bit more money for the fund that most clubs use to put on free coaches. |  | | |

I'd rather a couple of tokens for a free Bovril than have a discount on a bus. | |

Well it's the away fan fund so that depends on if the other club serves Bovril :-) | | | |

Why should the money subsidise those that choose to go away? | |

I'm not arguing for or against clubs currently have to allocate £200k each season on subsidising away fans, most clubs do it by either subsidising away tickets or putting on free coaches.
I think this fund will probably be increased with the new deal as most of the protests about the costs of supporting your team have highlighted away costs as one of their major bones of contention. | | | |

The income from st's and the club shop is nothing compared with tv money.
15000 st including child's and oaps and a shirt each at cost price probably around £9million
today's INCREASE for a mid table team about £50million taking it to £140 million. |  |

Just cap tickets in general at £20, with £10 for kids and pensioners. |  |

It would make a huge difference to supporters, yet it would have a barely noticeable effect on our finances. It's got to be done | | | |

Saturday 12.45pm games move from BT to Sky. Saturday 5.30pm games move from Sky to BT. Sundays 1.30pm and 4pm stay with Sky as do Mondays 8pm. Sky also get the ten Friday night games and BT a few more midweek ones than they have now.
BT have paid an extra £230m and get four more games than they have now. Sky will pay an extra £2bn for the same amount of games. Ouch. BT have also got the Champions League exclusively from next season.
Good thing for consumers is that there's no new channel to shell out for. |  |

Completely agree with this. Across the league too. And more of the money needs to start finding its way down the league. Football needs a dose of good, old-fashioned wealth distributing socialism. | |

Something ive been championing for a long time.
The prices of football in this country are laughable. If people venture to world sporting events then it may open their eyes a little.
£15-£20 is top billing in Oz usually for club events such as NRL and the A-League. | |

It's not going to happen though and I agree with Parlays post on page 1. |  |

Still have the overseas TV rights deal to add on top of that when it's concluded...

The problem with capping ticket prices at say £20 is that there's then no real incentive for clubs to increase the capacity and to a lesser extent facilities at their grounds it would probably work better if there was a 3 year price freeze and £10 or something was taken off the price of each ticket (to come directly from the TV money, would cost approx £135m each season of the £650m increase).
Agree with more money going to the lower leagues but that's normally a very "animated" discussion not helped by the lower league clubs fighting amongst themselves. | | | |

A more than 2 thirds increase. I've just done some rough calculations and I think the club could let everyone in for FREE next season and still have millions left over.
I'm not advocating that, because I'm not a season ticket holder, but free tickets for children seems a good idea to me. And, oh yes, make the effing stadium bigger!!!
(Plus free Bovril for us away fans. In gold plated cups.) [Post edited 10 Feb 2015 20:09]
