Today in the arena

The desire of France to get euro-2016 is an excellent catalyst for the growth of the national market construction of stadiums. French Football League was founded in 1944, and now includes 44 Club, circa 1900 registered players. In the State League employs 55 people whose activities are aimed at solving a variety of strategic challenges, in particular, the centralization of certain elements of football. For example, all the clubs League provides free equipment for printing tickets. Seemingly nothing special, but this ensures compliance with common standards and a high level of professionalism of staff ticket departments, which vB3 League also teaches.

League revenue structure is as follows: 15 per cent brings a ticketing, 25% of marketing activities, the remaining 60 per cent – television. There is a high dependence on television that, naturally, involves a risk; it can never be excluded that the League would not arise problems encountered by the French Football Federation. If we talk about attendance, an average of 1 League matches comes 21 thousand spectators, with an average price of 16 euro per ticket. In the form of subscriptions sold more than half of the total number of tickets – 55 per cent.

Five years ago, the Department was created to manage stadiums the League, which is responsible for areas such as infrastructure development and provision of security during the games. Almost all the stadiums, which match the first two French divisions, owned, and clubs have to pay for their rent. The French have taken careful note of the two tragic incidents that took place in stadiums in Belgium and England. Since 1997, signed by special Charter and the Declaration to resolve security control in arenas and on each leg of the League 1 must be a minimum of 500 members of the security services. On average it all clubs spend 11 million Euros.

Violators of the track as follows: in the hour when the match runs, so fans must arrive at the police station and get there hereon. Typically, these police stations are located far away from the Karen and the person physically can’t get to the stadium. Now the League intends to learn from experience of UEFA and to make from a legal point of view, the responsibility rested on who bought a ticket to the game. So if your ticket on the podium went to someone else and there’s rioting, the responsibility will be held exactly you.

Turning directly to the topic of the stadiums, it should be noted that the main problem of France is outdated infrastructure, because the average age of the local Karen – 65 years. However, due to the fact that France is seriously intends to qualify for euro-2016, was accepted and has actively implemented the global program for reconstruction, and in some cases (such as in Lyons) – construction of new stadiums. It is expected that by 2013, in the country, despite the crisis, will be updated or rebuilt 11 Karen – after losing to London Olympics 2012, the French decided to concentrate on continental Championship and now intend to gather all possible trumps to seize his chance. All this makes the French market building stadiums the most promising and fastest-growing in Europe: total amount of the expected investment amounts to approximately 1.7 billion Euros.
