In a remarkable shift, the International Football Association decided to reduce the prices of tickets for the 2025 clubs in the Club World Cup matches in large proportions, to confront the fans’ reluctance to some matches, despite hosting the championship in the United States amid varying public presence.
Unprecedented prices
The Tickets for the Saudi Al Hilal and Brazilian Fluminness match were offered at a price starting from only 11.15 dollars, at the “Camping World” stadium in Orlando, while the value of Chelsea’s confrontation tickets against Palmeiras reached $ 22.30, which is much less than group stage tickets.
The Bayern Munich and Paris Saint -Germain summit at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, tickets were put at $ 44.60, after their original value was much higher.
Dynamic pricing system
FIFA has adopted a flexible pricing system, linking the ticket price to the demand, which led to a decrease in prices in matches with limited turnout. This trend angered some of the fans who bought the tickets early at high prices, without knowing the possibility of change later.
Luxury seats at low prices
The lower seats witnessed a significant decrease in prices, after it was sold by about $ 500 in January, to be currently offering $ 22 for the Chelsea -Palmeiras match and $ 27.90 for the Al Hilal -Fluminness match. On the other hand, excellent seats in the secondary market jumped for some matches, as Bayern -Paris summit tickets exceeded $ 140.
Real Madrid is the highest public
Real Madrid tops the list of clubs in terms of public presence, with an average of more than 60,000 spectators in each match. Tickets for its confrontation against Borussia Dortmund are shown at the Mettlav Stadium at $ 128 for higher stands and more than $ 300 for lower seats through re -sale platforms.
Empty terraces despite the official numbers
Although FIFA announced that the number of attendees exceeded a million encouraging with an average of 35 thousand for each match, many matches have witnessed almost empty stadiums, especially in the large -scale American football fields.
In the round of 16, the average attendance reached about 42,750 spectators, while some matches did not exceed the 26,000 barrier, such as Chelsea – Benfica and Inter – Monterrey, while Real Madrid – Juventus, Paris – Inter Miami and Bayern – Flamingo attracted more than 60,000 spectators.
Attempts to activate the attendees
“FIFA” launched promotional campaigns to support the attendees, which included the distribution of free tickets to the veterans and the residents of the host cities, and offers for university students, such as deducting tickets for Inter Miami – Al -Ahly of Egypt to 20 dollars with the possibility of obtaining 4 additional tickets for free.
Semi -final and final at high prices
Despite the discounts, final round tickets are still high. The second semi -final tickets start from $ 978, while the first semi -finals start from $ 473.90, and the final match tickets are offered at a price of at least $ 892, with weightings that additional changes occur on demand.
The effect of European clubs
Price and promotional disparities reveal the marketing dominance of major European clubs, led by Real Madrid, which is still the most prominent impact in the American market compared to the rest of the teams.
