The Chinese newspaper, Soccer News, put together an interesting story in the leadup to the Chinese Super League (CSL), the domestic soccer league, season next weekend about how much season tickets cost for each of the 16 teams in the CSL. The chart looks like this (all prices in RMB, teams listed based on their finish last season):
Shandong Luneng
Price: 150, 480, 580, 980, 1380, 2600, 3900
same as last year
Shanghai Shenhua
Price: 240, 600, 960, 1320, 1800, 3360
same as last year
Beijing Guoan
Price: 260, 1500 (VIP)
same as last year
Tianjin Teda
Price (per game): 40, 60, 80, 120, 180
no season ticket available, but individual game ticket prices are same as last year
Shaanxi Baorong
Price (last year): 100, 140, 210, 280, 350, 3500
expecting to increase prices by 10%
Changchun Yatai
Price: 120-150
price lowered from last year's 300-580
GuangYao BaiyunShan
Price: 298, 398
same as last year
Qingdao Zhongneng
Price: 100, 300, 500
price lower than last year
Hangzhou LvCheng
Price: 220, 320, 600, 1000
last year they were called Zhejiang LvCheng, but this year's ticket prices remain the same
Henan Jianye
Price: 202
price lower than last year
Changsha Jinde
Price: 80 (!!!)
price lower than last year
Shenzhen
Price: 270-280
price lower than last year
Chengdu Sheffield United
Price: 150, 200, 350, 500
same as last year
Dalian Shide
Price (last season): 200, 300, 450, 600, 1000, 1500
Prices have yet to be announced for 2009, but will be cheaper than last year
And the two promoted clubs:
Jiangsu
Price: 100-200
price raised since last year
Chongqing Lifan
Price: no season ticket last year, per game was 10
price will be raised this season
So out of the 16 clubs, only the two promoted teams and Shaanxi, which didn't play all their games in Xian last year and had some of the lowest prices in the league. It will be interesting to see how attendance figures work out this season, but in Beijing, Guoan fans are elated about the squads return to Worker's Stadium, leading to sales of around 10,000 season tickets.
