Yesterday Ignacio Palacios-Huerta wrote an interesting article in the Guardian on the decision to raise the number of fixtures in European competitions. In a nutshell, the argument is that limiting supply can lead to long-run benefits. UEFA need to carefully consider satisfying demand.
After 3 game weeks (54 matches) under the new format what do the live attendance numbers looks like?
- For the new Champions League the total estimate of attendance is 2,179,399, with an average of 40,359 attendees per match (median 41,577).
- For the new Europa League I can only access data for the first two rounds (36 matches). The total estimate of attendance is 975,084 with an average of 27,085 per match (median 22,604).
It will be interesting to see how the attendance numbers and viewer figures at the end of the tournament compare to past ones.
