The Santiago Bernabeu has been elevated to the status of a masterpiece of architectural design, as Real Madrid have introduce what might be the ”World’s most expensive football ticket”, which is worth a whooping £210, 000 per seat, according to Daily Mail.
Gone are the days when you would show up at a football stadium expecting to be ushered into a small, unpleasant seating area with an uncomfortable upright plastic seat and cold hotdogs and hamburgers as the only food options.
With the advent of the modern football fan, hosting a game is now considered a business opportunity rather than merely a way to satisfy a fan’s passion.
Owners of football clubs now recognize the significant financial potential that comes with operating a cutting-edge football facility rather than simply seeing their stadiums as places where fans travel to see their favorite teams play.
Inside Real Madrid’s upgraded Santiago Bernabeu stadium
Real Madrid was among the first to realize this, and have introduced an upgrade to their already famous stadium, reportedly at a cost of £1.5 billion.
In addition to adding extra seats, a retractable roof, and a VIP nightclub, the stadium plans to construct 300 “Super VIP” seats, each costing an incredible €250k. These seats would rank among the most costly in football, if not the costliest, and possibly even higher.
According to Relevo, Real Madrid have allocated 300 “Super VIP” tickets. The seats, which are situated apart from the stands and provide the finest view of the field inside the stadium, were created with nothing but luxury and exclusivity in mind.
Those with the means to purchase a seat in the first amphitheater will have access to special food, beverages, and other products, as well as unusual events like live performances.
Above all, though, it’s a venue for you to mix and make friends with some of the most influential individuals on the planet.
Thought behind project
Relevo disclosed that Real Madrid actually designed these chairs to provide an unheard-of networking opportunity for millionaires when he came up with the concept for the VIP area.
The club stated that these seats are “better than the ones the players have,” in an attempt to attract some of the wealthiest people on the planet.
Cost and exclusive benefits
They will have to make due with the high cost required to purchase one of these seats.
Members must pay an annual seat price in addition to an entry fee of approximately €250,000 (£210k) in order to be allowed entry into the elite club for the next 30 years.
Acquiring one of these premium seats not only provides the finest vantage point for seeing all Real Madrid home games, but it also grants entry to other events hosted at Santiago Bernabeu, including NFL games and concerts.
In addition to this, members of this private club will also get access to a private parking lot.
The new VIP area, which is scheduled to open next year is the latest on the long list of outstanding amenities that Madrid has introduced since their groundbreaking renovation of the Santiago Bernabeu.
As part of Real Madrid’s renovation and modernization of the Santiago Bernabeu, extra seating has already been added, increasing the stadium’s capacity to 85,000.
Other features include a 360-degree screen, a retractable roof and pitch, and even a private nightclub.
