PSG-Ajaccio: the atmosphere at Parc des Princes has attracted a lot of criticism
Despite another bleak season for PSG, which has been marred by yet another pitiful elimination in the 8th Champions League final, a game that borders on ridiculous, extra-sporting affairs in a cascade and a scramble with its ultras.
Despite another bleak season for PSG, with yet another pathetic elimination in the 8th Champions League final, a game that verges on ridicule, cascading extra-sporting affairs and a falling out with its ultras, the capital club will have at least achieved a feat.
According to Deloitte’s latest study, dated January, it is becoming Europe’s number 1 club on ticket revenues, ahead of the continent’s behemoths, which are usually Real Madrid, FC Barcelona or Manchester United. All with a stadium with a capacity of only 47,000 seats, when the Camp Nou or Santiago Bernabu have gages close to 100,000 seats, according to 20 Minutes.
In recent years, the club has worked hard to develop so-called hospitality (the stadium’s most expensive and comfortable lodges and seats), from 1,500 seats to 4,642 seats, which today account for 10% of the park’s capacity and nearly 50% of ticketing revenues.
