Analyst Opinion

In recent years, the Soccer Ticket Sales Market in Northern Europe has seen slow growth due to various factors. While there is a strong soccer culture and passion for the sport in the region, the sluggish growth rate can be attributed to declining attendance at in-person games and the increasing trend of streaming games online. Additionally, the ongoing pandemic has also impacted ticket sales, with limited capacity and restrictions on large gatherings. Despite these challenges, the market is expected to rebound as restrictions ease and fan confidence in attending games returns.

Customer preferences:
As the popularity of soccer continues to rise globally, the trend of buying tickets online has also gained immense traction. This shift is largely driven by the convenience and accessibility offered by online ticketing platforms, allowing fans to secure their spot in the stadium without having to physically go to a ticket counter. With the increasing availability of high-speed internet and smartphones, more and more consumers are choosing to purchase their soccer tickets through digital channels. This trend is expected to continue in Northern Europe, as digitalization becomes more ingrained in the daily lives of individuals and the ease of online ticket sales remains a top priority for consumers. Furthermore, the rise of social media and e-commerce platforms has also provided a powerful marketing tool for soccer ticket sales, with clubs and leagues utilizing these channels to engage and reach out to fans, further driving the trend towards digital ticket sales in the soccer market.

Trends in the market:
In Northern Europe, the Soccer Ticket Sales Market is seeing a significant increase in the use of digital platforms for ticket purchases. This trend is driven by the demand for convenience and ease of access for customers.

This trajectory is likely to continue as fans increasingly turn to online channels for all aspects of their soccer experience. Industry stakeholders must adapt to this trend by investing in technology and digital solutions to better cater to their customers. Failure to do so may result in losing out to competitors who offer more efficient and convenient ticket purchasing options. Additionally, this trend may also have wider implications for the Sports market as a whole, as digital solutions become the norm for ticket sales and other aspects of the fan experience.

In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, number of internet users, and internet consumption. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function or linear forecasting, as it fits the development of either strong growing markets or more sophistacted and saturated markets, such as soccer in Europe.

Additional notes:

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. In some cases, the data is updated on an ad hoc basis (e.g., when new, relevant data has been released or significant changes within the market have an impact on the projected development). We also account for the different cycles of international tournaments, such as world cups or continent cups. Consumer Insights data is reweighted for representativeness.
