The best headquarters in Euroleague had by general admission the They were partisans.
The Serbs broke every attendance record there was… by averaging 17,000 spectators to flood the “Stark Arena” and create a magical atmosphere. Yes, his team Zeljko Obradovic cut a total of over 300,000 tickets in the regular season of the Euroleague, a number that is of course a record.
Such numbers, of course, are expected to have a corresponding economic impact. Specifically, the president of Partizan, Ostoya Mikhailovichstated that the Serbian team expects to earn around 5 million euros from tickets by the end of the season!
His statements to “RTS” in detail:
“The season is very good for us, we are currently first in the ABA league and we have a game against Buduchnost, which will guarantee us to stay at the top of the table. We also finished the first part of the Euroleague in sixth place, where we were one basket short of fifth place.
This was one of the most we expected, but we can do even more. We can do more in Euroleague, ABA League, I can definitely be satisfied. We broke all the records in the Euroleague, in terms of the number of tickets and spectators in the stands. Together with the Adriatic League, we had over 400,000 spectators in the stands. We expect ticket revenue for the entire season to be around €5,000,000, which will be record revenue for a club. Please note that we have not yet issued tickets for the Euroleague playoffs and the ABA League playoffs.
For example, in 2017 we had an income of 36,000 euros for the whole year, now it is almost 5,000,000 euros. Now 99.99% of the fans have paid their tickets and those who haven’t paid are children with developmental disabilities, children without parents… These are more actions that we are doing. Today it has become prestigious to find a ticket, and not to buy it, for Partizan’s matches.”
