Real Madrid Ticket Prices

The price of tickets varies wildly depending on location, availability and who they are playing. The information booth at the stadium informed me that the cheapest tickets are available from €30.00. However, for big games, for example, against Barcelona, and the best seats, prices can soar up to €700.00 if bought through an agent. Directly through Real Madrid, the maximum price for tickets is much less. Expect to pay about €95.00, although it does depend on the game.

There are unofficial ticket touts selling tickets around the entrance on match days, but many of the tickets are fake. It is not advisable to risk buying these tickets, as they won't be cheap, and checks are run frequently by officials at the stadium, to ensure that all Real Madrid tickets are; Real.

There was an interesting article in the Times by Gabriele Marcotti on Why Real Madrid’s finances outstrip Manchester United. Marcotti went into some of the details as to why Madrid are so rich and Soccer Tickets Online reader Ariff Ridzuan provided a lot more details on where Madrid’s money comes from.

Why Does Real Madrid Have So Much Money Now

When Real Madrid’s new President Florentino Pérez announced his massive summer spending spree, the first thought I had was, how can Real Madrid afford to sign superstars like Kaka and Ronaldo? They are not owned by a Russian oligarch or Arab sheikh, so where does Real find the money to outspend everyone?

The reason is Real’s massive revenue stream. We have reported previously here and here that Deloitte has named Real the richest team in the word for the last four seasons (Manchester United is 2nd) with revenues of €366m (£290m).

So where does Real Madrid get all that money? As you might expect Madrid has several different revenue streams.

TV Rights
Unlike Premier League teams, Real Madrid (and Barcelona) are able to allowed to negotiate their own contracts. Real Madrid signed a five-year deal with Mediapro that kicks in with the 2009/2010 season. According to The Football Economy this deal is worth an estimated €1.1bn to Real Madrid. So that translates into just over €200 million in annual revenue for Madrid, which is about three times what Manchester United earn from the Premier Leagues current TV deal.

Membership
Real Madrid is not set up like English football clubs. It is a member’s sports club or sports co-operative that pays pay to belong too. According to Ariff:
To be a member of Real Madrid, and everything it entails, you have to pay something like $500 a year – for a standard membership. Now you have to see that Real Madrid has something like 150’000 members at the minute. And not all of them are standard members. Elite members pay tens of thousands of dollars a year to have that status. I believe the president has to pay something like $80 million a year for his membership – to be president! Hence the fact that most of their board, and presidents, are basically billionaires. As they are the only guys that can afford to be in office. So let’s just do the sums. 150’000 members paying $500 dollars a year. Even with that conservative estimate, they make $75 million a year in membership fees alone. Add in the elite members, and board members, and you’re maybe talking about $200-300 million dollars a season, in membership fees alone!

Attendance
The Bernabeu Stadium is huge and Real Madrid have the third-highest average attendance in Europe,

Image Rights
When Real Madrid sign a player they retain a significant portion of that players image rights. Those rights allow Madrid to able to make millions in advertising deals. It is believed that when David Beckham signed from Manchester United that Madrid was able to recoup the whole cost of his transfer as a result of new advertising and short deals, it was able to sign as a result of Beckham joining the team.

Taxes
The tax rate in Spain for foreign players is much lower than it is in the U.K. for example. That means that it is chea
