Sports Stadium RM

Revenue management of sports stadiums are rather challenging due to several obvious reasons. Events/games are only held once a week, once a month, or even just couple times per year depending on the location and the functionality of the stadiums, which is why it is very important to implement sophisticated pricing strategies in order to maximize revenue on the days when events are held. Also, major sports teams’ stadiums are rarely rented out for purposes other than its own sports games (i.e. basketball, baseball, soccer…etc). Whereas other stadiums are used for various events such as music concerts and award ceremonies from time to time.

There are significant differences between RM of sports stadiums compared to the more traditional sectors such as the airline industry. Whether you sit in the 10th row or the 20th row in Economy have minimal difference (there are, of course, differences between Economy and Business class). However, whether or not you sit in the far back row with limited view to the sports ground creates a world of difference to your overall experience when watching a sports game. Flying on a plane may be a part of your necessity to travel from A to B, but watching a sports game in a stadium is about the “experience,” and therefore the perceived value depending on the location of the seats vary immensely.

Implicit Use of Space

How are the space divided in sports stadiums?

    • By location of seats
    • Regular seats vs. Enclosed suites with multiple seats
    • By supporting team

Club-level seats

What are the common sources of additional revenue?

  • Souvenir shops selling team-specific sports gears
  • Most of the premier league soccer teams’ stadiums have museums and tours: visitors even come to the museum on non-game days as well. High numbers of tourists visit the museums in Western European countries
  • Dining places (concessions)
  • By renting the space for music concerts-picture (per event)
  • By holding other sports events (i.e. Olympics)
  • Media access charges
  • Advertisement

How can companies split up the space differently?

 

  • “Quiet” vs. “Loud” seats: I noticed that some sports supporters prefer to sit throughout the game whereas some people like to stand and cheer actively for their teams. Setting aside few rows in each section to those more reserved supports may be effective.
  • Create more seat classes: frequent visitors (fans) are likely to be less sensitive to the ticket price, so companies can create more club seats (even create another class between the club seats) and add more varied classes depending on the location and the view from the seats.

Implicit Use of Time

How can companies sell the space explicitly?

  • Selling tickets with time limits: This strategy can be very attractive for tourists visiting well-known stadiums or important games such as the World Cup. It would work quite well especially for soccer games. For example, customers will buy tickets for the first-half or and second-half o f the game which will be 45 minutes each. If the full-time ticket is $80, companies can charge $50 for customers purchasing 45-minute tickets.
  • Companies can sell a specific seat at a certain stadium by year, month, or season (leasing private seats)

Price

What are the physical rate fences in sports stadiums? 

  • Location of the seat: proximity or the angle of the view to the sports ground
  • Rates for suites differ based on the physical size of the space (maximum capacity): http://www.executiveclub.manutd.com/en.aspx (You’ll notice that almost all executive suites are sold out for this season despite the high rates)

What some of the non-physical rate fences?

  • Purchases of tickets via third party sellers: http://www.worldticketshop.com/tickets/chelsea_tickets
  • On-line vs. Ticket office purchases
  • Club Membership status
  • Season ticket holders
  • Importance of events: For example, the average seat price for premier league games are more expensive compared to championship league games
  • Performance of the teams
  • Stadium’s location (accessibility) and the age of the facilities

How can companies generate additional revenue by using creative rate fences?

  • Implement bundle selling: price per seat would be more expensive when purchasing one ticket compared to purchasing two or more tickets
  • Early reservations should be entitled to discounts
  • I believe that companies can start utilizing extensive Customer Relations Management (CRM) in the sports industry by using the personal data gained via increase in on-line ticket purchases and use direct marketing. Companies should implement other rate fences possibly based on the different personalities and characteristics of the customers.
  • Companies can upsell those customers reserving suites by offering extensive catering options & extended time before and after the game for extra fee (most stadiums offer the suites per event currently)
  • When the time gets closer to the actual day of the game, odd 1 seats that are left in between other reservations can be sold at more friendly rate

  21. Beth England scored a stunning winner as Tottenham edged past bottom side Leicester to end a run of nine successive Women’s Super League defeats.
    Having sacked manager Rehanne Skinner after Sunday’s loss at Liverpool, Spurs looked to be heading for a goalless draw in a dour contest at Brisbane Road before England produced a moment of quality.
    In the 65th minute, the January signing from Chelsea attacked down the left before cutting inside and unleashing an unstoppable strike from the corner of the box into the far top corner.
    Just a minute earlier, Leicester had looked certain to score as Sophie Howard’s header was cleared off the line with the follow up being thumped over via the top of the crossbar.
    Leicester pushed for an equaliser but it was Spurs, under interim head coach Vicky Jepson, who came closest to providing the game’s second goal when Rosella Ayane put Celin Bizet clean
    through but the touch around goalkeeper Janina Leitzig took her too wide and the substitute’s shot was off target.UFAKM7

  23. Napoli v Eintracht Frankfurt: Visiting fans clash with police before Champions League tie
    Eintracht Frankfurt fans clashed with police after arriving in Naples despite being banned from Wednesday’s Champions League last-16 match with Napoli.
    Away fans were barred from the second leg after incidents at their first meeting last month.
    But a police car was set on fire by a group of hundreds of supporters and smoke bombs and flares thrown at officers, who responded with tear gas.
    Local media said Eintracht fans were also attacked by Napoli ultras.
    It said the incidents had caused “terror among passers-by and shopkeepers”.UFAKM7

  24. Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah is still several weeks away from recovering from an ankle injury he picked up earlier this month, says boss Mikel Arteta.
    The 23-year-old scored six goals in 12 games before he was sidelined with the injury.
    “It was a nasty injury and he has a big challenge ahead of him,” said Arteta.
    But Gabriel Jesus’ return is a welcome boost as the Gunners prepare for a Europa League last-16 second leg against Sporting Lisbon on Thursday.
    Brazil forward Jesus returned as a substitute in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Fulham, coming on in the 77th minute, after a spell out with a knee injury sustained at the World Cup.
    And he could make his first Arsenal start since November against Sporting.UFAKM7

  37. Erik ten Hag says his Manchester United players must use their Carabao Cup success as “fuel” as they aim to reach the FA Cup semi-finals against Fulham.
    United, third in the Premier League, won their first trophy since 2017 at Wembley last month and are also through to the last eight of the Europa League.
    “We enjoyed winning a trophy and it has to be the fuel for the next one,” said Ten Hag, who was appointed last summer.
    “We must be pushed by that and that has to bring extra energy to beat Fulham.”
    He added: “We have to set a winning culture. We are Manchester United, we have to win all the games, we have to compete in all the leagues. That is the mentality.”
    United have fallen behind in the Premier League title race, where they are 16 points behind leaders Arsenal, as they seek to add to their League Cup triumph.เค้าไพ่บาคาร่า

  38. Gareth Southgate: England boss worried about ‘decreasing’ number of English players
    Gareth Southgate says he may need to start selecting from “the Championship or elsewhere” in future because of what he claims is the decreasing number of English players in the Premier League.
    About 32% of those starting in the top flight are eligible for England.
    The England manager, who has been in the role since 2016, highlighted two recent weekends where that percentage fell to 28%.
    “The numbers are the numbers. They’re not going up,” said Southgate.
    “It has been around 32% but that’s down from 35% when I took over and 38% in the years before so the graph is clear – there’s no argument about that.เค้าไพ่บาคาร่า
