Tickets for the PSG-Dortmund football match on May 7 are very expensive, up to 5,500 euros on certain platforms.
The poster and the issue are important. The prices to attend are impressive: up to 5,500 euros for a ticket to attend the semi-final of the Champions League between Paris-Saint-Germain and Dortmund at the Parc des Princes. On social networks, supporters are dismayed. Although a very legal practice, everyone can resell their place on a platform. The more buyers there are, the higher the prices.
A bonus for the club
A very lucrative second-hand market, especially for the organizer. “The club has every interest in organizing the secondary market, in legalizing it, since in addition, they recover a premium on each place resold”, explains Pierre Rondeau, professor of sports economics at the Sports Management School. Resale ticket prices also explode during concerts. During Beyoncé’s in Marseille in 2023, they had almost quadrupled.
