    Can someone explain why Inter Milans is much higher than AC Milans? Wouldn’t have thought selling the same number of tickets would result in that much of an average attendance swing.

        801 higher for a stadium where you would expect it to be the same. That’s quite a big difference.

        I didn’t mean any offence, literally just wondering why there’s an 800 bigger difference than you would expect.

          First probably both milan and inter has sold out all their tickets in their home sector in serie a so inter just had a bigger away crowds in san siro and its basically only been 6 home games lol

    Just a note, German clubs report tickets sold, not actual attendance. I don’t know about Spain or Italy, but English clubs report how many people actually came rather than how many tickets were sold.

      its attendance in Madrid. which shows perfectly how fucked the ticketing system is. you can’t buy a ticket as a Madridista a week before game because of 40k queue on website, in 20 minutes they are sold out because socios are buying pretty much everything to sell it on 3rd party websites. i was in madrid 2 weeks ago and getting tickets officially was the most depressing and dreadful experience i’ve ever had

      That’s actually not ture English clubs use tickets sold.

      The difference is German match tickets are so much cheaper and their public transport is A LOT cheaper. (They own our railways companies and use the profits to subsides there own ticket prices for trains).

        DB is subsidized by goverment with billions annually, Abellio the dutch company, that runs trains in scottland also runs trains in germany. This sounds like a conspirency theory to me, would you mind providing a source for it?

      Remember that Manchester United turns the surrounding area to a tourist hub due to the magnitude of the club, they may not have had the best years on the pitch but they’re still a big fucking institution that makes a killing commercially so I’m sure tourists fill up Old Trafford too

        But I do wonder how many years that aura (I hate this word) alone is gonna carry the club. 10 years with no PL or CL and only an FA Cup and a Europa League to show for them. There are 10 years olds alive today that weren’t alive when United last won the PL. I wonder how long their past achievements will carry them.

        On the other hand, I’m friends with maybe a couple City fans lol I also wonder when, if ever, they will replace United as the go-to club to pick in England once they start watching football.

      and this is without privately owned stadiums, imagine if each club had their own, with good visibility, decent public transport connections etc.
