PSG has not necessarily been in full swing at the Parc des Princes for several weeks. Enough to worry a lot of fans and observers of the capital club, even if the French champions are procrastinating.
Luis Enrique has wanted to change things since his arrival as PSG coach. The former Barça man does not want to coach stars and wants young, team-oriented elements. This new project at PSG, without renowned players, is not necessarily unanimous. Especially since the capital club can no longer do it in the Champions League. Also, this new PSG is struggling to attract fans to the Parc des Princes. The last outings of Ile-de-France residents were not full. And it was noticed by many fans and observers. Because if Paris Saint-Germain officially has a repeat subscription rate of 99.4% of supporters and 148 consecutive sellouts for places reserved for companies, the results are not there visually.
The harsh climate, bonuses in solution
However, PSG is not worried. According to RMCParis believes that this is due to the winter cold but also to the number of resales which are less significant. Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain is not panicking since the returns over the last 10 years have been so good that they protect against declines linked to this new sporting project made by Luis Enrique. Still according to the media, PSG nevertheless wants to tackle the problem of no shows, which is increasingly numerous and which affects other major European clubs. Some subscribers or spectators who have purchased their tickets do not go to the stadium, which harms the image of the clubs concerned.
This is also why Paris continues to rely on the TicketPlace platform, which represents 2.5% of ticketing revenue and which fights against the black market. Note that the French champions had implemented, in 2016 in Auteuil, an attendance bonus, which allows subscribers to reduce the price of their subscription if they attend a sufficient number of matches. This strategy could be extended to others if necessary.
