Arsenal maintains its status as a substantial English club although its matchday earnings currently match the highest European standards. Arsenal rose to third place worldwide from ticket sales which brought them €153 million during last season according to recent financial records.
What allowed Arsenal to generate more revenue than traditional English Premier League big three clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City? The clubs which generated the most revenue supplied the answer. Let’s break it down.
A Sign of the Club’s Rebirth?
Arsenal's matchday revenue reached €153 million during the last season because of both customer enthusiasm about Mikel Arteta's tactical shifts and the everlasting pull of the Emirates Stadium.
Club matches are complete sellouts due to enthusiastic fan interest in observing Arsenal’s season-long chase for league titles. Premier League teams charge some of the most expensive admission fees in all of Europe while Arsenal's return to the Champions League added more fans to matches.
But despite Arsenal’s impressive earnings, they still trail behind Real Madrid and PSG in the overall rankings.
