A post earlier on said that you can't do better than £15 return but it turns out you can.
The crux of the matter is though, people can talk about breaking even etc. all they like, but for the price we pay, do we really see a standard of football that justifies it? I wonder how many people would like to come to more ICT games, but have simply been priced out by their own club. If prices keep going up, there'll probably be many more as time goes on.
Regarding the bus: Of course you can do better unless it's free, even County could do better if they had someone with even more money.
To put it in perspective the bus costs around £600 and it holds 49 max. At £15 a head we need 40 folk to break even (rarely does) and the very most profit we can make is £135 a bus if it's full (vary rarely does). We end up subsidising the bus quite heavily every year to keep the costs as low as we can for people. If drinking was allowed I'm sure we'd get more on the bus but alas rules are rules.
We'd love to offer it cheaper, do loyalty offers or make it cheaper for kids but ultimately they'd all need yet more cash to subsidise. What's the average return bus cost to Killie or Glasgow? £20? £30? £40? I think £15 is pretty good particularly for an adult.
