The net gate receipts (minus a 3% levy payable to the FL) from the four semi-final ties are added together and then split; 50% to the Pool of money distributed to EACH club in the division based on finishing position; and 50% divided equally between the four competing clubs.
The net gate receipts are the proceeds from each match MINUS travelling/hotel expenses for the visiting club and MINUS all match day costs (e.g. floodlighting, police charges, turnstile operators, stewards and contribution to first aid helpers).
Broadcasting fees for the semi-finals are ‘determined by the FL Board’.
So Wycombe will get 12.5% (1/8th) of the net gate receipts from all four of the semi-final ties.
e.g. IF net gate receipts (minus levy) from the four semi-final ties was £500,000, Wycombe, Southend, Plymouth and Stevenage would get £62,500 each.
As a comparison, the match receipt income from the Stockport play-off games in 2008 was reported as £43,000. With the broadcasting income reported as £40,000.
For those clubs lucky enough to get the Final, similar rules apply, expect 50% of the net income from the Final is split is split between the two finalists. The other 50% goes to the ‘Pool’ pot to be distributed to EACH club in the division.
Broadcasting fees for the Final are NOT payable to the clubs.
So Premier League clubs get 10mil per regular season televised match whilst finalists competing for promotion (with the extra costs this entails) get nothing. We (Football League clubs) need better lawyers, that's daylight robbery! Pathetic bargaining by the FL and #ShameonSkysports
No, we get 25% of the gate receipts after costs are taken out. Which isn't nothing. Unless you are referring to just the broadcasting element. In which case, yes!

I believe Wycombe get 25%, Southend get 25% and the league the remainder
After exes 50% to two clubs, 50% to fl
From the old Gasroom...
Interesting to see how the income from the play-off matches is divided up.

So assuming, to make the maths easy, £30 a ticket and a crowd of 40,000, around £300,000. Not bad
£300,000 minus costs......
£300,000 minus a quarter of the costs, as the costs are taken out before the split to the clubs.
I wonder what it costs the League to hire Wembley for the occasion...?
