MN: Pricing, schedule and performances – Milan’s worrying UCL attendance data | OneFootball

The Champions League is an incredible chance for extra revenue to be earned, but this was not the case for AC Milan. Instead, they bowed out rather easily.

This season has been a rollercoaster from start to now, and with the Champions League elimination, there is an almost guarantee that the Rossoneri will start next season in a far inferior position than they started this one with.

Stability is needed, for the fans if no other reason, and more than ever, the fans are speaking to the club, and making the moves that hurt the most – the ones inside the stadium.

Protests have been ongoing in recent months, but there is also the ticketing factor, and as Milan News states, there are a few reasons for this.

We start with the high prices, which have been extremely noticeable in Europe, whilst also being a factor in Serie A games as well. In addition to this, the team has been ‘uninspiring’ whilst often playing ‘unexciting’ opponents at difficult times for spectators in midweek.

In fact, only one game of the five home Champions League fixtures saw more than 60,000 spectators in San Siro – the game against Girona. Liverpool (59,826) follows with the win against Club Brugge coming shortly after (58,649).

However, the win against Red Star and the draw with Feyenoord failed to bring in more than 55,000 spectators. A worrying sign of where things are right now, and if pricing and performances do not get more aligned with the desire of the fans, maybe these figures may continue to drop.
