11 times more tickets sold to BATe games in comparison with national team
Euroradio conducted a corresponding research near box offices at the stadium.
About 11 thousand sets (the information is dated Monday, Sep.24) have been sold to BATE home games in the Champions' League. Besides, the biggest sales are usually recorded on the last days.
Surprisingly enough, they did not give us information about the sales of tickets for the national team's games. However, "Pressball" informed that only 1 000 tickets have been sold by the beginning of the week.
Euroradio has decided to compare the demand for tickets to BATE and the national team. For this, we headed for the "Dynama" stadium and interrogated the buyers for 30 minutes. We started our research at about midday. This is what we got.
6 people bought sets of tickets to the national team's games. 28 people - to the games of BATE. This is the four times difference. However, BATE will play their first game against Bayern on October 2, while the national team will play against world champions Spain ten days after that - on October 12.
The price for a set of tickets to the three home games of BATE are Br 200-700 thousand.
The national team of Belarus is not in a good tournament position, but the cheapest set of tickets for two home games is Br 280 thousand, and the most expensive is Br 480 thousand.
Euroradio has assured that when people have to choose between the national team and BATE in the conditions of high prices, they choose BATE as a rule. The Champions' League will start sooner, there will be more games and BATE come through another wave of popularity now.
The fan-sector B-12 decided to boycott the game Belarus-Spain also because of high prices for tickets.
