Tribune. Tickets to Lithuania national team matches - the most expensive in the group © EuroFootball.com

S

ince football is scandalously back in fashion, I return to ticket prices. I looked around and searched for ticket prices in other countries. First, I explored our group (I couldn't find tickets for the BiH home matches and their federation's website doesn't load), the prices are as follows (in brackets the capacity of the stadium where the match will be played and how much bigger it is than the LFF stadium):

Greece - 35-70 Lt (32115 seats, 5.9 times bigger); Slovakia - 35, 59, 86 Lt, special business class - 519 Lt (13000 seats, 2.4 times bigger); Latvia - 15, 25, 50 Lt (9500 seats, 1.76 times bigger); Lithuania - 53, 73, 103 Lt (5400 seats); Liechtenstein - 58, 114 Lt (6127 seats, 1.13 times bigger);

+ special bonus: Estonia (since it's almost a neighbor and cool anyway) - 24, 45 Lt (9692 seats, 1.79 times bigger).

For fun, I compared the ratio of the standard, cheapest, without any discounts ticket price (the one an average person like me would buy) to the average salary in that country (I used a list compiled by good people in one place on Wikipedia - I checked the sources, almost everywhere the data is taken from local statistics departments. I don't claim this to be a scientific study, I don't accept any claims.):

Greece 0.59%; Latvia 0.88%; Estonia 0.98%; Slovakia 1.5%; Lithuania 3.1%.

I couldn't find the average salaries in Liechtenstein anywhere, but it's enough to remember that according to some calculations, the GDP per capita in Liechtenstein is the highest in the world, in other studies - one of the highest.

Then I took the size of the stadium and compared how many times the stadium size differs and how much - the price of the cheapest ticket (LFF explained that the size of the stadium affects. LET'S ASSUME (=let's make an assumption) that the ticket price increases proportionally as the stadium size changes, for example, if the stadium doubles, the ticket becomes half as expensive):

Greece - stadium 5.9 times bigger, cheapest ticket is 1.5 times cheaper Slovakia - stadium 2.4 times bigger, cheapest ticket is 1.5 times cheaper Latvia - stadium 1.76 times bigger, cheapest ticket is 3.5 times more expensive Liechtenstein - stadium 1.13 times bigger, cheapest ticket is 1.09 times more expensive Estonia - stadium 1.79 times bigger, cheapest ticket is 2.2 times more expensive.
