The trend of rising ticket prices at major international sporting events is unlikely to be transferred to the admission prices for Bundesliga matches in the foreseeable future. “There are Respect for the power of the fans. And as a manager you are also aware that the overall experience is created together,” said Christoph Breuer, Professor of Sports Economics at the German Sport University Cologne, in an interview with SID.

The overall experience would be jeopardized if ticket prices were to be raised excessively, especially in the standing areaThen there would be a risk that “the audience in football stadiums would no longer be strong enough to create a good atmosphere,” said the expert. Higher prices, which fans in England, for example, have long been used to, are generally rejected in this country: “Germany is a very price-sensitive country anyway.“This applies to changes in petrol prices, but also to the willingness to spend money on pay-TV subscriptions in sports,” said Breuer.
