NUFC fan Greg McPeake asks the question 'NUFC membership - Perfect capitalist ruse?' NUFC
Newcastle United membership – Perfect capitalist ruse?I bought a Newcastle United membership for me and my son a year ago to try and ensure a decent chance of tickets for the matches last season.
Once again, I commit to Newcastle United membership for this new season and then suddenly find out I will only have the ballot opportunity of obtaining a ticket instead of doing what I did previously, which was logging on to the website and waiting for my turn to purchase a ticket. This I was successful at last season but only ever getting tickets in level seven. However, level seven giving my twelve year old son his access to our great club.
If we think about this process, living in a capitalist economy and society, how do season tickets fit in? Capitalism is based on supply and demand, so why would a business pass up the chance of a huge amount extra income, just to appease a group ofNo other business would do this. Surely this fanbase can be milked to the point where they quit and then wealthier fans will replace them to be milked further.
