Buying season tickets became impossible
*Westfalenstadion
Being on the waiting list for season tickets really sucks lol
One thing to note about German clubs is their stadiums fit more people in due to standing. This is banned in most other countries and would drastically reduce the average attendance number at all of these clubs.

Are these the 5 biggest stadiums for a club side?
Our stadium is injured rn… Wait till it gets fit.
Estadio Ousmane Dembele
It’s gonna crumble after the first game.
Hopefully camp Nou will be back next year
Should be called Giuseppe Meazza for AC Milan right?
Old Trafford? I assume that count is done at the start of the game not the end…
Remember that Manchester United turns the surrounding area to a tourist hub due to the magnitude of the club, they may not have had the best years on the pitch but they’re still a big fucking institution that makes a killing commercially so I’m sure tourists fill up Old Trafford too
But I do wonder how many years that aura (I hate this word) alone is gonna carry the club. 10 years with no PL or CL and only an FA Cup and a Europa League to show for them. There are 10 years olds alive today that weren’t alive when United last won the PL. I wonder how long their past achievements will carry them.
On the other hand, I’m friends with maybe a couple City fans lol I also wonder when, if ever, they will replace United as the go-to club to pick in England once they start watching football.
If things continue as is then probably in 15 years
Yeah probably because people get there at the start to watch the game and then leave at the end…
I feel like this should be in percentages rather than numbers
United aren’t allowed to sell over 74K seats anyway.

Although Camp Nou is a notable absentee
Just a note, German clubs report tickets sold, not actual attendance. I don’t know about Spain or Italy, but English clubs report how many people actually came rather than how many tickets were sold.

its attendance in Madrid. which shows perfectly how fucked the ticketing system is. you can’t buy a ticket as a Madridista a week before game because of 40k queue on website, in 20 minutes they are sold out because socios are buying pretty much everything to sell it on 3rd party websites. i was in madrid 2 weeks ago and getting tickets officially was the most depressing and dreadful experience i’ve ever had
They have started to ban that practise in England and makes it much fairer to get in.
Problem in Spain is that if the Presidents do this then they will loose the next election.
That’s actually not ture English clubs use tickets sold.
The difference is German match tickets are so much cheaper and their public transport is A LOT cheaper. (They own our railways companies and use the profits to subsides there own ticket prices for trains).

DB is subsidized by goverment with billions annually, Abellio the dutch company, that runs trains in scottland also runs trains in germany. This sounds like a conspirency theory to me, would you mind providing a source for it?
Abellio left the uk market and scotrail is now run by the scottish government and their other stuff is now a uk based company.
so did DB, cuz they sold uk arriva business to a us investment fund, now lets hope, that german newspapers don’t start asking for refunds on the 1,5 bullion loss they made on that, cuz german taxpayers and consumers paid for it…
English clubs use tickets sold too. I went to Arsenal vs Fulham a few years ago and the stadium was maybe 75% full, yet Arsenal announced the attendance was 59k or something. It was laughably obviously false.
In Spain is actual attendance.
Would it be more balanced to use percentages, or would that skew it in favour of smaller clubs with easier to fill stadiums?
