Bayern Munich announce that they have already sold

Munich, who sit top of the Bundesliga have seen the home

ticket allocations of the state of the art, 71,000 capacity Allianz Arena sell

out in ferocious fashion.

The surge for Bayern tickets initially unfolded just five

days after the 2012/13 Bundesliga had finished. At the time, FC Bayern board

director Jan-Christian Dreesen stated: “For each of 16 Bundesliga home fixtures,

we’ve received between 80,000 and 140,000 requests for tickets,” And it didn’t take

long for game number seventeen to sell out.

Whilst many will say the rush in ticket sales is down to the

star power of new coach Pep Guardiola, the main contributor is the current

ticket pricing in Germany.

In the 2012/13 season the cheapest adult Bayern

Munich season ticket that could be purchased cost just £104. That figure

acquaints to an average game costing £6.10.When you compare that to English

pricing, Queens Park Rangers who finished bottom of the Premier League had

charged £499 for their cheapest adult season ticket (£26 per game).

Who were

getting value, the supporters of the team finishing rock bottom, or those of

the side who won the treble?
