Why Can't Barcelona Fill Their Stadium?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 พ.ย. 2018
- FC Barcelona may be one of the best-supported clubs in the world, and their fanbase may be growing with each passing year, yet it has become tougher than ever to sell out the Camp Nou.
The Camp Nou boasts the largest capacity of any European stadium, with 99,354. That’s comfortably ahead of Wembley, Signal Iduna Park, the Santiago Bernabéu and the Luzhniki, the next biggest grounds in Europe. The problem for FC Barcelona, however, is that they’ve been struggling to fill it in recent times.

Lets be honest, most clubs would kill for an average attendance of 70000
Well most Stadiums have a capacity smaller than that.
Yeah just look at the smalker clubs in a big league or the smaller teams in the europa/champions league they have very limited capasity and a lot of the time a compact fan base they normaly have an attendance rate of 15000 to 40000 at best
Cant relate, Man Utd fan lol
Almost all English clubs fill their stadium unlike their Spanish counterparts
Old Trafford does it
3:20 It's a good thing Tifo was not asked to design stadium
At least they didn't put an unexploded nuclear bomb in the middle of the pitch
@@ramshacklealex7772 Why? Would that be bad?
Auriflamme u dumb
r/wooosh
@@ramshacklealex7772 i fear someone may make a new religion with such a monument in the middle ;)
Man Utd, even though we are less than successful, still get over 70,000 a game. I think people struggle with the prices at Barcelona.
United can fill a half a milion big stadium LOL
Barca averages at 70 k tho
How much is United
Allen Ivey 75 k
Joker🤣🤣 Old Trafford’s capacity is just about the same as Barca’s lowest average attendance that he was talking about in this video🤣🤣 Nice try tho mate.
Juventus was clever in making their new stadium smaller , under 50k
Barca are crazy thinking they can fill a modernised stadium at 105k
Also, the reason behind it was because the club wants audiences to enjoy the match as much as possible. And i agree with this. Having lots of seats = having some audiences seated far away from the pitch. Thus making them unable to enjoy the view.
having the 105k stadium gives you the option to lower the prices of tickets so you could fill the stadium and still get more money from ticket sales, only if they willing to lower the prices of the tickets
@@besarpajaziti4239 No, the cost of maintenance, security for each match as long personal to attend the customer's requires more money, and you have to include the basic services such as water, electricity, sewer, etc. Overall bigger stadium needs more money to open on match days.
well man united sell out 75,000 every week and have a further 78,000 on the waiting list for season tickets. they could easily sell out 105,000 every game.
@@benbim540 I wouldn't pay a penny to see that mid table struggling team lol, Not even best in the city .

I feel like I've read this comment many times already..
The intros man, they kill me. This guy, straight to the point!
I Imagine That Number will decrease significantly once Messi retires. I imagine a large percentage of tourists only go to watch Messi
Laliga doesn't attract masses for sure
Truee
...Or moves back to Argentina. Messi has said that he would like to return to his boyhood club (Newell's) before he retires.
@@theobuniel9643 the recent contract deal for messi would make sure he will retire on barcelona.
@@francelonelo9187 no it doesn't he just won't be playing for another European club but of course he can still move to the USA or Argentine to end his carreer there
Ticket prices are the majority problem I think. I was at Ajax on Wednesday night who played a 1st division team in the cup. One of the upper sections was closed but most of the tickets on sale sold. Tickets ranged from 5.-7.5 euro. The ultras group were there in full force and the rest of the ground saw a lot of children and youth attending. A great introduction to football along with the cheap prices made for an amazing experience. Ajax always set a good example for the rest of Europe.
their attendance is gonna be 50k once messi retires
i think might be even lower... look at real madrid after cr7 left or original los galacticos...
but neymar will be there
messi might return as coach
Ian Kwemoi no that will not happen bc Messi is brand so he probably go to USA France or England to build Messi brand.
arnik akash Citations needed.
Ticket prices are ridiculous. Yes the product is good, but to pay over 50€ to sit in the gods and watch a one sided match against some team from the bottom half of the table just isn't worth it.
The majority of locals watch at home or in a bar. They simply don't have the spare cash to go.
i love one sided whitewash matches
Well, what about 16/17 when Barcelona got beaten by newly promoted Deportivo Alavés? :)
Uniban Black i was there for that one, when Luis Enrique decided to play a load of new signings that have barely played with each. Had we won it, I think we would have won the league that season. Anyway, I can’t go as much as I used too, due to the ticket prices.
Eearn in Holland we pay 60-70 euros to watch Nac Breda. I would love to see Messi trash a team for €50 euros. The Barca fans are just plastic they lose interest ones their team is having it easy or falls behind.
In America, you get the worst seats for more than European soccer matches. I'd kill for my favorite sporting events to have tickets that cheap

well well how the tables have turned
Reduce ticket prices
Love the new Camp Nou design at 3:25
It's awesome bro
Inspired by the Guggenheim in Bilbao
The new roofs 😩👌👌👌
😂😂
LMAO you make my day!!
1) tickets are expensive
2) most of them are being bought by tourists
3) what happens when tourists stop coming??
4) make them cheaper so locals can fill up the full capacity
(Liverpool has 54000 seats..aproximatelly 40-45000 are locals and the rest are tourists..every week its full)
Ironically people say that half of Liverpool's attendance is Scandinavians. But ye cheaper prices, focus on the locals aka the real fans and not us tourists, look to Bayern München.
UK economy is far better than Spain. The Liverpool tickets is as expensive as Spain.
The reason Liverpool has more local attendance is because less tourist goes to Liverpool! Easy answer! Meanwhile if you are in London and watch a Tottenham or Chelsea match, you can see a lot of tourist.
They should sell the unsold tickets to locals through a secure platform on matchday.
No one wants the top most seat. Football players look so tiny. How can people sit there, is beyond me. The stand above Mes Que Un Club is what I am talking about. So small looking players. Also people can easily commit suicide if they sit above the stand above Mes Que Un Club. No protection.
Dortmund played in second Bundesliga and still every week 81,365 were in Stadium✅
jackob kik German football has good attendances
@@dazzag371 probably because of the pricing point differences
@@hinuhinan2434 and the economic state of the two countries, Germany's is better than Spain's.
What about the attendances in Scotland🤷♂️👀
Great subject, unfortunately, the answers provided by the video don't entirely describe the situation.
Firstly, it's impossible to get tickets because everything is taken/reserved for season ticket holders. Even if they don't show up or they are supposed to pay for like Champions League, they will only free the seat late or on a random date. It is impossible to become a season ticket holder, they're all taken by supporters from the 80's, 90's and they make a good deal of them some "trading" it for important games for money. Roughly to get one it takes about 5 years of paid membership unless you have relatives already members (you can skip 2 years).
Furthermore, it is about money. They don't care because they make more money this way. The expensive prices are paid by tourists and tourism hasn't fallen despite whatever the statistics say. Tourists might also buy a scarf, a t-shirt something that a local would purchase perhaps once a couple of years.
Also, the prices you've shown us don't say the whole truth (due to availability and distribution). In El Clasico tickets start from 200. With Atletico Madrid from 95 and in Champions League about the same (these are the cheapest with limited availability). Somehow the distribution of these tickets is so flawed that you can barely find 2 seats together, now imagine if you want to go with friends. What is even more interesting is that you arrive at the game and notice an entire section that is available.
The solution would be quite simple, lower the prices (if not for tourists, at least for registered locals). Also, offer last-minute sales.
Finally, there's a bit of an angst from locals against the way this club is going. 8 years ago Barca was promoting young talents from La Masia, today they've spent hundreds of millions on players who don't care about the team and it's tradition. There's a famous interview with the president of the club that says something like: "We win or not, we got to make a profit".
Nowadays there are more tourists on the stadium than legit fans and the atmosphere is lame.
Source: live in Barcelona.
Anonim Barca has always been that way. Their fans are plastic.
@@warrioroffpeace3673 False, our fans are on the streets fighting for independence. Others just "spectate" on stadiums.
Plastic fans rooting for Messi rather than for the club itself, oversized stadium due to an everlasting inferiority complex by the club, and a descent of the tourism figures in Barcelona due to several factors. Expect the same happening to your club when Messi leaves/retires as it happened to Real Madrid.
That's very insightful. I guess attendancy will increase after the renovation of the stadium and the whole experience will be much better. Although I think there's not much heavy rain in Barcelona. The idea that the prices for season ticket holders (most loyal fans) are cheaper is a good one for me, if that's the case...
In the past the stadium was one of the only places where catalan language could be spoken and that affected the big capacity so that more people can gather around their idea of belonging and togetherness as a nation...
Anonim bang on the money there. Well said
This is pure greed. 99 000 seats, even if tickets were sold at 10€, one game would net them around 1 million JUST FROM TICKET SALES, not to mention the food and drinks people get at halftime
Messi earns 500,000 of that alone bro 😂
There are taxes, too...
@@spirosr.4398 yeah spanish football is so well known for paying taxes...
Not to forget pitch maintenance
Either way they will make money regardless. If they want to fill the seats make the tickets a bit cheaper.
Funny thing is over 90,000 came to watch Barca in California at the Rose Bowl just a couple of years ago
Just an average of 70000
That’s dreadful 😹😹😹😹
dreadful? are you mad?
Kelva do you not understand sarcasm pal?
In el Clasico they made like 15mil, just from tickets bought.
What the fuuck?
Do a video on athletic bilbao and it's footballing philosophy.
Shashank Shekhar
Basque nationalism? Would be a great video. I wonder how long they can keep it up.
There's so much politics involved in the history of Spanish football, that's why Barcelona is "More than a club".
Though nothing compares to Athletic Bilbao😄
YES!!
@@t-manthedude9114 Sure mate it would be an interesting topic to explore. There's just so much animosity between different factions that are living in Spain at this moment which is really reflected in the games involving the representative's of these regions( mainly Real Madrid vs Athletic or Real Madrid vs Barca).
Just what we need, another video about Athletic Bilbao, something we've never seen on TH-cam before
It's not really a footballing philosophy as much as a recruitment policy
I've never been there, but when I heard from the ticket prices and the seats in the latest El Clasico for example, where you need to pay around 125€ as a guest and got a pillar in front of you, glass and had no roofing, i just wondered how that was possible. In those cases quality above quantity is much needed.
KyleVeverka 125 for el clasico?? More like 500 upwards
Also, there are no pilars in Camp Nou...and if your zone was glass-protected is because UEFA tells us to do so.
this is the video that made me aware of this channel, i have been binge watching a lot of clips. appreciate the dedication!!!
if i could i would like to give some topic suggestions if possible, since you channel is obviously a bit premier league heavy.

Croke park in Dublin Ireland holds 83,000+

Yes not a football stadium tho but stadiums in general yes
Not a football stadium you idiot
@@Jack-ou1pq He didn't say they were football stadiums just stadiums ,Twickenham is at 4th and he didn't mention them either.
Why would people get so excited to see Barcelona play with, say Zaragoza?
I think the main issue is that La Liga isn't a league that attracts too much attention these days.
Besides, sure the capacity is high, but I thin Camp Nou's high seats aren't as good as modern stadiums to watch a match.
M Bayrak it’s just passion for their team, and even the league. I’m not from Spain, but I absolutely love La Liga and the style of play. I support Real Madrid, but I’ll even turn on Zaragoza vs Tenerife if it’s on. It’s an enjoyment of the league that keeps people interested
La Liga happens to attract quite a lot of attention in Spain. La Liga's popularity in England or India is not a factor here.
There's no doubt that the Barca - Real duopoly has damaged La Liga. But that said the monopoly of Bayern in the Bundesliga, Juventus in Serie A, and PSG in Ligue 1 has done even more damage to these leagues. After a while people start to lose interest and enthusiasm in a league that's perpetually dominated by one or two clubs. Where's the element of surprise or unexpected success? There's no novelty factor.
Fans crave the novelty factor, and the prospect that a club may do extremely well THIS season when they didn't last season, and may not do so well next season. Fans need hope also. If there's no hope of an upset, the 'order' being toppled or even the status quo being temporarily challenged, then fans stay away from stadiums. Some even stop watching football altogether. It's rather alarming. It's also worrying because the EPL is showing signs of becoming dominated by one club - Liverpool. No one in England wants to see a league dominated by one club year after year.....it's just boring.
Rob Tyman I think PSG and Ligue 1 is the best example of this. Interestingly the competition has even been spoilt for the PSG supporters because they are supposed to win the league. Even if they win a league title with a great record there will be little accomplishment and excitement (especially if they get no closer to the UCL title). I think this is also true of Barcelona (just to a lesser extent) where it means nothing for them to beat a side 7-0 and win the following game 5-0 because this is what is expected of them. By contrast, the supporters of top premier league clubs are buzzing when they achieve this result because there is every chance they will lose the next game 1-0 to Burnley.
I've been in the Camp Nou and I will assure you, the stadium is amazing.
Always waiting for you tifo..... Greatest football channel on TH-cam
My club (Ajax) had similar issues; during normal league matches it fills up quite well, but for cup games the tickets where very overpriced and the stadium would be half empty. Since the Cruijff involvement the board have changed and ticket prices for cup games have been cut considerably; i paid only 5 eur for a ticket next to the pitch last week! Also season ticket prices are quite affordable and have only risen a few euros in the last 5 years. One annoying thing are the tourists who buy tickets during the Champions League matches ans sometimes regular matches. There just there to sit and do nothing, like puppets almost.
This channel is one of the best on entire youtube!! Great content 👍🏻
Just saying that Croke Park has a capacity of 82300 so it should be on the list at the start
But no one outsider Ireland cares about what Ireland are doing.
Because tickets are expensive
Tickets for london clubs like Spurs and Arsenal make their prices look like pocket change.
30 euros is not that much for watching Barcelona, it's worth it
Here in México a game ticket between Tijuana vs Guadalajara (one of the biggest teams in the country) costs almost 75 to 150USD. And the stadium gets completely full
Apart from the prices, having eight different kick off times for ten weekly matches doesn't help, especially when they're only confirmed so close to kick-off.
jules5000x no they don’t stop lying. Most of Guadalajara games are empty.
filling 100k capacity stadium with 70% people in every single match is way more tougher than filling 80k capacity stadium with 80% people
exactly someone is actually rational and understands
And also Madrid has 1.000.000 more inhabitants than Barcelona
Finally a person who understands
But the point of this video was not to compare Barcelona and Real Madrid. It was to point out that Barca are having trouble filling their stadium, and despite that, they are still increasing its capacity.
@@TheLordoftheRavens it wasn't my intention to take a dig at real or anyone else. I was just comparing his given data which happened to be of real madrid's. As for the increasing capacity i believe its part of design n aesthetics plan rather than business or income strategy solely
Just subscribed. All the videos are made to such a high quality. You deserve so many more subs.
I remember going to see my first game at Camp Nou to see MSN play together for the first time. Paid nearly 100 euros to see them beat by Celta Vigo.
F
I have some theories why, I went to the home match a little while ago vs Bilbao. The atmosphere in the ground is not great, there doesn’t seem to be a spot for away supporters they seemed to be mixed in with the Barcelona fans and most of all I had to pay €85 for a ticket right up at the top of the stadium
I went to that match as an away supporter. I was invited by a friend who lend me his season season ticket for that day (I wouldn't go otherwise, the prices are too high), and as you say you could find Athletic supporters mixed between the locals (that's usual in La Liga unless in some big rivalry games as Sevilla-Betis). As you say there's not a good ambience at the stadium. It's full of tourists, lots of them don't know much about football and they just want to take some pictures to Messi. About the locals, there's just a small group that really supports, but the most part of them just stays whatching the game as they would be in front of the TV.
Andoni Bengoetxea yes the only time the crowd actually was noisy was when Messi came on!
Omg i could live well with €85 for 1-2 week, or go to the fancy restaurant and get gym membership. How much it cost for vip seat?
@@septarendra8524 I have seen on their website: for the next match, Barça-Betis, the VIP seats are from €260 to €740.
@@andonibengoetxea3076 Thanks for looking that up.
More like "Why Can't La Liga Clubs Fill Their Stadiums in General?"
Yes, but the point of this was that Barcelona are expanding their stadium and increasing the capacity. A capacity they already can't fill. It's more interesting than a thing on all La Liga teams.
I think it's to do with La Liga kick off times being one of the reasons since some of them tend to be very late. Also a lot of La Liga stadiums have no roof or a roof that only covers part of the stadium just like the Camp Nou and a lot of them are old fashioned. I don't know about prices with each team.
@@ayosulaiman9148 Good point. I hate watching a game that comes on 10 or 11 at night just for a mid-week, Copa del Rey or a late August-early September match. I also hate how they don't put the exact times for the games until the last second as the season progresses.
@@ElFrencho Completely agree. I'm a Barcelona and La Liga fan and I hate the fact that some kick-off times are really late. I went to watch the match against Alavés this summer. The kick off time was 10:15 pm local time and the game finished after midnight. Away fans would have it worse for travel reasons.
@@ayosulaiman9148 I'd completely understand a 10:15 at night match in the Canary Islands since it'd be 9:15 local time over there. But a match in Mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands? It's very late. The RFEF don't care about the fans at all.
Lol this aged very well
Croke Park in Ireland is actually the Third largest stadium in Europe at a capacity of 82,300 but it's only ever hosted a couple of football matches while the Irish National Team's stadium was being rebuilt. It's primarily used for Gaelic football and Hurling.
probably should also consider that (i assume) attendance has gone down everywhere in the world, due to the continuously increasing broadcast quality

I love this guy's voice. I have great trouble sleeping and his videos help calm me and put me to sleep.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's boring, but this is the best voice I've ever heard.
Commenting after 4 year.... You should definitely check average attendance at camp nou 2022-2023 season. It's not an ordinary club it's an emotion.
I absolutely love Tifo and have been watching well before that was the name! Just wanted to say that before I say that they may missed a few things in their analysis that they probably wouldn't know unless they were living in Barcelona or somehow spoke to someone at the club.
Here is the real Barcelona attendance problem: 85% of the stadium seating is held by season ticket holders (usually Catalans that have had these tickets in their family for a long time). Tifo mentioned in the video that they still take good care of their season ticket holders in terms of price. That is the understatement of the century. The most expensive season ticket is right around 1200 Euros with the cheapest being somewhere in the 150 Euro range. What that means is that the cheapest ticket (assuming 20 home matches, even though there are more with competition other than la liga) is 7.5 Euros per game. DIRT CHEAP.
Coupled with that is FC Barcelona's incredibly strict no 3rd party resale of season tickets, all resale must go through the Barcelona portal (some people still do it anyway but they risk losing their coveted season ticket spot that has a waiting list unlike any club in the world). Barcelona's resale portal is an incredible hassle, you can only make up to your season ticket's value in resale for the season (Not only is that a rule but most make that back by selling one or two of the bigger matches for the whole season), AND the portal takes upwards of 50% commission (I don't remember the exact figure, it could be even higher). So what is the logical thing to do for the average season ticket holder who cannot go to the game? Give the ticket away to your friend who is also a season ticket holder? Obviously not. Go through the painstaking resale process to make either a small amount of money or no money at all? No. The answer is JUST DON'T SHOW UP.
I would venture to guess that they do a pretty good job of selling out the 15% stadium capacity that is available to the public.....
To beat a dead horse here, I'll give you a scenario: If you were a season ticket holder, all you have to do at the beginning of the season is pick 2-3 medium-large home matches. The resale of those matches through the Barcelona portal pays for your entire season ticket. You can no longer make ANY money using their portal for the rest of the season. If you try to sell the games you are not going to on the black market (I guess I can use that term) you are at serious risk for losing that season ticket that was passed down from your father and his father before that. The logical thing to do is to do nothing with your ticket. The end.
It is UNREAL to me how Barcelona complains about attendance. They know their problem, they just don't want the outside world to see it. Anyway, keep up the good work Tifo.
Can you please make a video about how small clubs sometimes perform above expectations in europe? There have been some in the last couple of years would really like to see how thry accomplished that with their tactics and stuff

Loved your piece on alcacer for Bundasliga btw
Please do a similar video on Italian top flight team's stadiums. Ever since I started watching football (in 2013), I haven't seen any club fill its stadium completely in any club competitions bar Juventus ( who have a 41,000 seats in their stadium) . Would love to know why.
Italian football has declined with juventus as the exception starting around the 2010s
..because Juventus SHRUNK their stadium to fit their crowds. Their previous stadium, the hugely unpopular and soulless Stadio delle Alpi held 69,000... and it was NEVER filled. Indeed, Juventus's attendances have rarely averaged over 44,000 mark in that stadium. They demolished it, and built a stadium to fit their needs.
@Erik Lerström Most of the stadiums are owned by the state so they need the permission of the state to so anything, I think that's the major problem. Only Juve have their own stadium if I'm not wrong.
SK N sassuolo also have their own stadium.
@@ricardokaka2286 yeah, forgot about them.
Isn't adding capacity a requirement to add the roof for structural reasons?
Better question: Who could consistently even fill a 100k capacity stadium in the sport of football? It's basically impossible.
It's not if u make it very acecible, y have to prioritize family's etc u could make whatching games a family tradicion instead of fnaatism
man united 75,000 at every game and a further 78.000 on the waiting list for season tickets.
Liverpool. The waiting list for season tickets alone would cover most of the difference between that and current capacity.
The Dallas Cowboys!
Pains me to say it, Man United, Liverpool, Dortmund, Lazio and Ajax could easily.
u deserve more subs and views mate!
You should definitely add an option to support the chanel financially. Im sure many people would be happy to support the great work you do.
Not bad but pretty basic. You did not tackle the socios (the 177,000 owners of Barcelona FC) issue at all that is in the hearth of the tickets being nearly sold out (especially all adjacent seats) month before the games and then appearing only week before the games to the market. As well as many socios not attending the games.
Let's be honest most "Barcelona" fans are PSG fans now
Yep. RIP Barcelona fanbase 2006-2021. I live in New York City, and get this. Two weeks ago there were so-called "Barcelona fans" who kept saying "Barca forever!" But now those "Barcelona fans" are saying "I go WhErE MeSsI gOeS." I have been a PSG supporter since Zlatan first came on the team. At least thats when I started following football heavily. We don't need these bandwagon fans. There are hard core PSG fans where I live, and we don't need these fanboys
Those are the same kind of 'fake fans' who would have loved the failed European Super League. i.e. They're not 'real fans' of the game and don't really understand football or it's history and legacy of teams in Europe. Most of those 'glory hunter' supporters do not come from Europe, and so have no real respect for the sport. They just want to watch superstar players, and will change which team they so-called 'support' at the drop of hat, because they don't support their 'local team' and never grew up anywhere near these clubs' football grounds, so have no real club loyalty'.
@@temporaryuseraccount0012 Well said my friend. My English Premier League side is West Ham, thanks to a friend who introduced me to them. I highly oppose the Super League, as it would just corrupt the game, and would turn those big clubs into cash cows. When I traveled to London, I was able to watch West Ham for $85 USD, which is not bad for a sporting event. I pay triple to watch American Football, and I think the Euro Super League is a bad idea as the working class simply will not be able to afford tickets that are crazy high.
Well , knock a few euro's off the entrance price "MIGHT" help
Lets be honest they can fill it with frankfurt fans at least lol
3:30 now he has resigned haha
Now we have a new president
It's so much better to watch this games at home. You get to see it at the best angle and get replays if you miss something. Just call friend over and simulate the stadium.
I love the relaxed lo-fi hip hop this channel uses
3:28
Nou kamp nou looks beautiful!
Hotels are more expensive than the used to be. Tickets are ridiculously expensive. Sevilla at home, decent seat: €169 from the official Barcelona ticket site. So, it's expensive for the locals and tourists.
Season ticket? You need 150 years in q and a relative who is already a member of the club.
It is cheaper from other sites. 70€ against Sevilla
always very good and interesting videos, it is so good i have liked every video of yours i've watched
I went to watch an MLS game (LA Galaxy vs TFC). I got one of the cheaper tickets and it cost me $120. But the stadium was sold out. 33,000 seats I think.
Simple answer is it’s to damn big.. they need to create luxury boxes & take back some seats.
Actually, Croke Park in Dublin is the third largest stadium.
Yes
We do
Thats not football
The atmosphere at All Ireland finals is stupidily incredible.
I'd love a video on the recent football leaks. Your channel is the only football channel that focuses on issues beyond the scope of mere "investigate journalism"
New subscriber cheers for uploads
The pronunciation of Camp Nou is more like Camp Now not camp Nuo
Nice video! As someone who lived in Barcelona for a few years and was lucky enough to go to most games in that time, just a couple of things to add to this - the attendance for the first games of the season are typically lower because in Spain you're more or less obliged to take holiday from work in August, so a lot of people just aren't in the city. Secondly, there is a cultural thing where a lot of locals don't mind missing some games against smaller teams or if the game is considered to be at an odd time or clashes with dinner on a Sunday, for example. I experienced it quite a lot when I lived in the city and more or less had my ex girlfriend's dad's season ticket card (as he himself had just always had the seats but personally wasn't that bothered about going to the games.
how many barca fans in the ground do you reckon lived in Catalonia compared to tourists from abroad?
@@ManchesterBlue1894 my block was mainly locals from Barcelona, but there were more and more tourists there in the three years that I went to games. Camp Nou is another stop on the tourist checklist in bcn.
Big 80k seaters are not a thing now. Its more of efficient low cost stadiums with at least 45 to 50k capacity which can be sold out every match. Revenues.
i like ur videos ^_^ You have a nice calming voice ^_^
I’ve been to seen Barcelona once, early this year against Alaves at home. Wasn’t sold out. Probably about that 55,000 range, kick off was 8.45pm. It was a little surreal being there, biggest stadium I have ever seen inside and out. Such a shame, they can REALLY fill that up on a Champions League night or a derby and make some of the loudest noise in Europe, but against the lower half / mid table teams locals just don’t have interest as 99% of the time, they know the result before kick off which takes then excitement out of the game so I completely understand. Regardless, they have the greatest player to ever grace the pitch and I envy people who take that lightly, if I lived in the city I would go every game just to witness his greatness.
What about Croke Park?! its the 3rd biggest in europe!
Compare these times and these now. Almost every game we're breaking attendance records.
The thing is that the list to get a season ticket is like 6 or 7.000 long. That's why the Club is increasing the capacity of the stadium. They'll sell part as season tickets and rest as matchday tickets, which there is a big shortage.
In the 2017/18 season I saw barcelona beat Juventus 3-1 in September champion league group game. Must’ve been close to 80,000 there, ticket cost me close to €100!!!!
holy sheet 100 euros
Rather that than the god awful stadium tour
I know its not football but croke has a capacity of 83 000 and it never but once a year gets filled
It’s ridiculous that it’s only filled once it’s a waste of money
Athens has one stadium of 67.000 capacity and it gets filled once a year (maximum)...
OLD TRAFFORD IS FILLED TWICE A WEEK.
Well they're only talking about soccer here so Croke Park doesn't come in to it. However, it is filled at least twice a year for finals. Not to mention possible replays, concerts, other events like American football etc.
@@kevinmcardle2928 yes but considering that for most of the time it isin't needed for the full 80000 capacity , I would say it's a waste of money
I found tickets quite accessible through viagogo on my travels in Europe. I got to go to camp nou for a CL match and I didn't pay that much. This was back in 2015. Most of the fans were tourists.
Old Trafford hosts 75,000 but is always sold out and very hard to get tickets to the game if you're not a season ticket holder or haven't bought tickets as soon as they release them.
because all premier league games are entertaining to watch, but no one wants to watch barcelona vs alvarez on a sunday
yeah plus they have another 78.000 on the waiting list for a season ticket. man united could easily sell out a 120.000 stadium every week.
I’m imagining the average capacity once messi is gone 🤔
40-50k, some people come to see Messi and not Barcelona
Croke park in Dublin has a capacity of 82,500 making it bigger than some of those stadiums claimed as the biggest in Europe either specify that they are soccer grounds only or don’t say they are the biggest
benji This fella and many others ,just assume that all stadiums in europe are football , which is the case in most countries ,but ireland uk and france have large stadiums for GAA and rugby respectively.He also left out twickenham which is 82000 only 300 less than croke park
Very strange that one of the best clubs in the history of football and has enormous wealth can not fix minor problems in their stadium but can afford 100 million players.
I am planning to go in October. To get tickets my plan is to wait until two weeks before the game then go on the Barcelona website and buy the resale tickets. My understanding is that season ticket holders not wishing to attend can resell their seats for half price. Am I wrong?
Because Ernesto Valverde´s football is unwatchable, even with Messi in the team.
You said it 7 months ago! Predictable what happened this end of the season.
@@tomasgordillo the signs were the from the first season
Messi is the only thing that makes them watchable
You left out Croke Park in Dublin which has a capacity of 82,300.

Beautiful and interesting story.
Warm weather beach cities typically always have a hard time selling tickets for any sport especially when your team plays in a league with only a handful of quality matches. El Clasico has no problem selling out. Same with matches against Atletico Madrid. 99,000 is way to big for most matches.
