Quote:Please do not put words in my mouth Chief. I do not support 4 London games and 2 Orlando games.

 

Using your numbers I will pose the following very simple math question to you:

 

Which of the following units would be easier to sell and which number would be achieved first?

 

A. 570,000

 

B. 496,000

 

One London / Orlando game not only presents untold business and marketing opportunities but reduces stress on local ticket sales.

 

I will give you one more crack at this Chief

 

If you were a vacuum cleaner salesman which of the following quotas would be easier to achieve:

 

A. 570

 

B. 496

 

One more adjustment to your hypothetical. With the renovations we should focus on 69K not 62K or even 57K. With that being said 10 games would represent 690,000 and 8 games would be at 552,000.

 

Throw in a playoff game where we will extend the available tickets another 84,000 because Everbank is expandable and we are up to 636,000. Throw in 2 playoff games and we are up to 720,000. Why this example? Because Khan is going to bring a super bowl to Jax. After considering brand expansion , business networking opportunities and outside of northeast Florida market penetration this is a very good thing for Jax. Without the Jags nobody would know who we are. Why not utilize the franchise's marketing capabilities as Khan has recognized and is executing.?!?!?!?!?

 

So you think reducing the number of games at Everbank will increase sales? Right? So by that logic the more games you reduce the more tickets will be sold per game. That's exactly what you said. You said if you reduce supply you increase demand.

 

I manufacture 100 tennis rackets a month. I sell 75 tennis rackets a month. If I reduce my output to 75 tennis rackets do you propose my sales will go up? Because that's exactly what the dynamics are at Everbank. Reducing supply does not increase demand UNLESS you're in a sold out market then that dictates an increase in price to the point where demand is reduced to match supply.

 

I don't know how you can conclude that a game in London and a game in Orlando will drive the citizens of Jacksonville to Everbank Field.
