If EM double the average league match ticket price for the home European games would you pay it
Yes with a caveat of added context.
Would I pay? Of course I would sell the dog to pay for it If I had to.
Does he need to increase prices is the question.
CL clubs each earn €18.6m for qualifying then another 700k for every point earned. Any team earns extra money for each round up to another €18m for the final. Thats before you get to all the other spin offs, increased exposure, advertising, corporate and other revenue the CL brings.
Increase in ticket prces is small beer compared to that. A sold out city ground at current prices generates approx £1m in ticket sales. Maximum games possible if you get to the semi final (lets be real here) is only 8 games. So £8m doubling to £16m is the max you could get.
So overall relatively not much benefit to the club who will be minted from the CL run anyway but to Joe Bloggs who wants to take his kids for a great occasion its a heck of a lot.
By the way I assume this would be Lina’s call not EM.
