Some good research there and I can't give you an answer why German Clubs are cheaper than English ones say for a seat ticket. When I visited Germany I found it cheaper than in the UK for most things I bought, but not half price etc that some football tickets are. When we played Stuttgart in 2006 it was 19 Euros for bench seat which was about £14 at the time and £19 at the Riverside for ST holder or £23 if not.Surely it must be economically sustainable if clubs manage their finances - foreign clubs have been charging people far less for ages. Bundesliga clubs have standing season tickets available from an average of 196 euros - every club has these on offer.
Our most expensive adult tickets in west stand upper for early bird and full price:
£671£735
The most expensive Bayern Munich season ticket is 840 euros (£718), cheapest standing 165 euros (£141), cheapest seat 385 euros (£329), with match tickets often doubling as free rail passes for public transport. Even the smaller clubs have these cheap prices, and they carry into Bundesliga 2.
I do know our player wage bill was £28m in 2022/23 season and will probably be around that now. Its a lot of money to find. The mystery is why don't German clubs have issues with player wage bills in the same way as English ones do.
