Gate revenues on match days are one of the most important revenue streams for football clubs. According to the data presented by SafeBettingSites.com, Spanish giants Barcelona make the most revenue from matchday going fans in European football at $8.2m per home game.
PSG Next On The List At $7.2 Million Per Game
In modern football, matchday revenue might have lost some importance when compared to TV money, but it still is an essential source of income for football clubs. Per the latest UEFA report, Barcelona currently makes the most money from match-going fans in European football. The report states that the Catalan club makes $8.2m per game at Nou Camp on average. Barcelona are followed by French champions Paris Saint-Germain at $7.2m.
The report defines matchday gate revenue as season tickets, membership fees, single ticket purchases and matchday hospitality and concessions. Hence, besides the size of the match-going audience, the share of premium hospitality blocks/seats in stadiums also determines the revenue. Hence, PSG sit in the second spot despite having only the 26th-biggest home audience in Europe.
London club Tottenham finds itself in the third spot owing to its brand-new high-capacity stadium. Spurs make $6.1 million per game on average in their new stadium. German champions Bayern Munich are next at $5.6 million per game, closely followed by Arsenal and Real Madrid at $5.3m and $5.2m per game, respectively.
Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool also made it to the list at $4.1m and $4.0m in revenue from each home game, respectively. AC Milan ($3.3m) and Atletico Madrid ($2.9m) complete the list of top ten clubs with the most matchday gate revenue in Europe.
PSG Gets $152 From Every Match-Going Fan On Average
French giants Paris Saint-Germain blow the competition out of water when it comes to average yield from a match-going fan. PSG makes $152 from every fan every game on average. Thus, PSG has a high matchday income despite having a relatively small home audience.
Tottenham is second at $100 per fan, closely followed by Barcelona at $99. Real Madrid and Arsenal are tied at $90 per fan.
Bayern Munich is next at $76/fan, closely followed by Liverpool at $75 for every fan. Chelsea is also not far behind at $72 per fan. Juventus and Manchester United complete the list at $65/fan and $55/fan, respectively.
