Tottenham Hotspur rank among Europe’s top earners from matchday ticket sales, with a new report revealing just how much the club makes per game.
Running a football club is no easy task, with success hinging on both on-field performances and off-field management.
Tottenham Hotspur, under Daniel Levy’s stewardship, have excelled in the latter, building a financial powerhouse, but their struggles on the pitch remain a constant frustration for supporters.
Of course, ticket sales are a vital revenue stream, and with fans feeling the pinch of rising prices, discontent has been brewing.
Protests have taken place at Tottenham in recent weeks, with frustration mounting over the cost of attending matches and the motives of the Spurs owners.
Now, a report from UEFA’s European Club Finance and Investment Landscape has shed light on exactly how much clubs are making from ticket sales.
