It is a bet for him Panathinaikos the to turn hot the OAKA towards Olympic and Chelsea (and in the other commercial games), as reported by Stamatis Garris through the show “The Reporters” of News Bulletin 247.
The communications director of the “clover” spoke about the PAE’s reward to the fans who will “attend” the “eternal” derby, giving them the opportunity to claim an invitation to the upcoming match with the Londoners for the Conference League.
In detail what he said:
“When the decision was made for Panathinaikos to play in OAKA, a series of actions had to be taken to warm up a cold and vast stadium, so that it would transform into a warm one for the team and help them. This requires sacrifices. Financial sacrifices mainly. Anyone can consider the difference between a full stadium of 65,000 seats, with a general admission of 10 euros and a stadium that fills with an average price of 40 euros. We are talking about four times the revenue for a PAE. We can’t poke anyone’s pocket. From the moment the man puts his hand in his pocket, i.e. Mr. Alafouzos undertook to cover this cost, the point is to win the bet. The bet is to get as many people as possible, at least for the most important or commercial matches“, he emphasized, among others, to 94.6.
For the decision to reward those who will go to the field against Olympiakos: “This was an action that the management of Panathinaikos decided to do, in order to enable as many people as possible to come to OAKA against Olympiakos, but also against Chelsea. OAKA is very difficult, it doesn’t fill up easily. It is not 16,000 Avenue or the 33,000 of OPAP Arena and Karaiskakis or Toumba. How many times do we remember OAKA being full? That is, we go to the 80’s and the beginning of the 90’s, when the field presence in Greece was a completely different matter. We all saw it very differently. From then on, it took place in matches with very high stakes, mainly European competitions. Let’s not forget what era we live in, to be realistic.
People cut from everywhere to make the monthso he can shop for the basics. A few years ago it was very easy to announce a sold out of a European group, for example Olympiakos or PAOK or AEK. It is not easy, even more so when we are talking about the OAKA with twice the capacity. So we go to decisions with the aim of activating the viewer’s reflexes. To remove the argument I can not give 40, 50 or more euros for a match. This is how the decision was made to motivate him to be on the field tomorrow, to claim one of the 40,000 invitations for the Chelsea match. This redemption process will only take one day. This will happen on Tuesday, it will last 24 hours. There will be absolute time priority. So, anyone who can…».
For the PAE policy change in order to bring the world closer together: “I would totally agree. We remember that in the match with Lance, many were surprised by the decision of the general admission of 10 euros. Some criticized her, others mocked her. The end of the day found Panathinaikos to have achieved the ultimate. That is to qualify against a great French team, to fill their stadium, with one of the top three performances in the Conference League I think, but also to send nice images that traveled all over the world via the internet. Many families came to OAKA, many women, very fresh people. Not just the home crowd.
