Why are Navbahor fans dissatisfied? It is up to the club to decide

The third round of the group stage of the Uzbekistan Cup will start on April 18. One of the first matches of the day is the valley derby between FC Navbahor and FC Neftchi.

The Namangan news agency reported that tickets for the event had been issued. Accordingly, the price of meeting tickets is set at the same rate for all sectors - 30,000 Uzbek sums.

After the news, most fans are complaining about the high ticket prices. The fans who are contacting us are asking not to interfere in the work of the club, but to make the spectators who come to the stadium relatively cheap with a little thought. Because not everyone can afford 30,000 soums. This will lead to a decrease in the number of visitors to the stadium.

For information, tickets for Navbakhor's match against FC Dinamo in the cup were sold for 30,000, and 2,231 spectators came to the stadium at that time (although the activities during the month of Ramadan also played an important role). The stadium was very empty. This is a much lower figure for FC Navbahor. But there is a solution.

For example, you can make more money by making the ticket price cheaper. This will not only increase fan attendance at the stadium but also increase profits. 2231 spectators received tickets for 30,000 sums. The club employed 66,930,000. If the ticket price is set at 20,000, at least 5,000 fans will come to the stadium (it is unlikely that there will be more). At the same time, the team's treasury will be enriched by 100,000,000 sums. Maybe it’s better to think about it.

Of course, it is the club's job to set the ticket price. The team will benefit from ticket sales. We have no intention of interfering in this, nor will we. Just a little relief, in our opinion. We have shown the reason above. Reducing the number of visitors to the stadium by making ticket prices slightly higher than fan demand will not benefit the team. Moreover, to FC Navbahor. Because the main strength of the "hawks" is the fans!

The fact that there were not enough fans in the match against FC Dinamo does not mean that it will be with FC Neftchi. Fergana itself is visited by many fans, that's for sure. Because the importance of the game is high. But the Namangan team solved the group stage issue ahead of schedule. This factor should not be forgotten.

If the goal is to profit from the ticket, it’s best to think in all directions. Because if that decision didn’t work, it could definitely be changed. It’s in everyone’s hands. It is enough if you want. And at the same time money is very important for the club. There will be no compensation for the money paid to Russian coaches.

FC Navbahor - FC Neftchi match will start on April 18 at 18:15.
