I may be a pleb but Ive done plenty of corporate functions down the years both on the event organising and receiving the freebie side.
Could be wrong but not sure there are that many companies/organisations that offer rewards or incentives that are particularly high in value (excluding bonuses etc). When Ive organised events you are normally aiming at a cost per head below £200 or so day rate. Not many that can afford to splash out the sums quoted. Team building away days are usually based around a meeting aligned to the area of business in some format and usually on a weekday. Pretty unusual to get a no strings attached fun day out whether you are a staff member or a customer. Then if its a reward, a football match is fairly divisive, its definitely not something a lot of people are remotely interested in.
Which leaves me to conclude most of the uptake for these boxes will be around groups, birthdays & stag parties etc and you would think that it would have to be affordable to them.
On the corporate side, proper large conferencing rooms that can be hired out on a weekday, preferably with a hotel attached or nearby remain in demand, particularly if in a unique venue. It’s something we have missed out on and why investment in the ground is badly needed. Possible these units could host some smaller individual meetings on non match days too?
