Chinese fans have always been rightInternational footballSuperstar Cristiano Ronaldo is full of love and expectation, so when Riyadh Victory announced that it would hold two exhibition matches in China and invited Ronaldo to participate, it attracted the attention and heated discussions of the majority of fans. The two matches were against ShanghaiShenhuaand the Zhejiang team, scheduled for January 24 and January 28 next year at the Shenzhen Universiade CenterSportsfield conducted. In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, Riyadh's winning squad also hasManeBrozovic, Talisca, Laporte, Telles and other famous players, can be described as star-studded.
For Chinese fans, being able to witness Cristiano Ronaldo's game in China is undoubtedly a rare gift. Therefore, the ticket price has become the most concerned issue for fans. In the Saudi league, Riyadh Victory's home stadium Al-Awwalpark Stadium accommodates 250,000 spectators, but the regular game was not full, with an average audience size of 19,874. Tickets for the team** are also relatively low, with the highest ticket price for the match against Dammam on December 22 being 85 riyals, or about 161 yuan.
However, this time Riyadh triumphantly came to China's commercial competition, and the ticket price was greatly **. The official 6 fares are 380 yuan, 880 yuan, 1880 yuan, 2880 yuan, 3880 yuan and 4580 yuan. From the average ticket price of the Saudi league of 161 yuan to the highest ticket price of Chinese commercial competitions of 4,580 yuan, the increase has reached as much as 15 times. Will such a ** make fans buy it?The answer may depend on the fans' love and pursuit of Ronaldo.
Inviting Riyadh to compete in China and betting on Ronaldo's "box office appeal", the organizers undoubtedly carried out a game economicallyBig bets。According to the Sloth BearSportsIt was revealed that Riyadh Victory had an appearance fee of up to $10 million for a single game, and a total appearance fee of $20 million for the two games. Combined with various expenses such as venue rental fees, security costs, publicity costs and labor costs, the total cost of the two matches will exceed RMB 1500 million yuan.
Of course, the organizers did not fail to take into account the income of **. Commercial competitions also often have revenue streams such as sponsors, royalties, and commercial activities. However, in this competition, it is the box office revenue that really plays a decisive role. According to the Sloth BearSportsUnderstand that if each game can attract 40,000 fans to watch the game, and the average ticket is 2,500 yuan**, the organizer will be able to save capital and even earn some money through box office revenue.
Whether this big gamble can succeed will depend on Ronaldo's box office appeal. As a globally well-known extremely well-knownFootballSuperstar, Cristiano Ronaldo undoubtedly has a strong appeal. And the love and pursuit of Chinese fans for Ronaldo is self-evident. Therefore, I believe that as long as it is reasonable, there will still be a large number of fans flocking to itSportsfield, cheering for Ronaldo, but also burning for his dreams.
Riyadh Victory decided to hold two exhibition matches in China and invited Ronaldo to participate, which is undoubtedly a feast for Chinese fans for a long time. The ticket prices for these two games have also become the focus of attention. From the average ticket price of the Saudi league of 161 yuan to the highest ticket price of commercial competitions of 4,580 yuan, it has caused controversy among fans. However, the box office appeal of the big bet on Ronaldo has also made people look forward to this commercial competition.
There is no doubt that this is a business bet. The organizers have invested a huge amount of costs, in addition to Ronaldo's high appearance fees, as well as venue rental fees, security costs, publicity costs, etc. But the success or failure of this bet also depends on the support and recognition of the fans. If fans are willing to spend ** to buy tickets to watch the game and give Ronaldo a warm welcome and support, then this bet has a chance to return on its cost or even make a profit.
