Unit 1 Micro: The Price of Football

Geoff Riley

2nd August 2011

Share this content:

The BBC’s new Price of Football survey offers an excellent opportunity to use wide differences in the cost of attending football matches across the length and breadth of the UK. A summer hat tip to Ben White (newly installed Head of Economics and Business at St Peter’s School in York) for flagging up this resource on the BBC web site - it is ideal stimulus material for generating a discussion on different pricing tactics, price elasticity of demand and income inelasticity of demand in the soccer industry.
