A total of 47,317 fans came to the Camp Nou tonight to watch the game against Valencia. Clearly very low numbers if we compare it with other seasons, but that right now is the largest number of attendees which has been registered this season, which had as a record, the premiere of the ChampioNS against Bayern Munich, with 39,737 fans.
However, the health situation has changed a lot since the day they played against the German champion and tonight against the whole ´che ‘. To get started, in September only 40% of the capacity was allowed, while now there is already the possibility of 100%. That means that on Bayern day there was practically a full capacity, while tonight it does not reach 50%.
There is no doubt that part of the blame for this remarkable decline in the attendance of fans It is the leave of absence of almost 28,000 members of Barcelona throughout this season, who decided not to pay the subscription during this year and therefore give up their ability to go to the stadium.
In addition, the club has not yet implemented the ‘free seat’, so if a member decides not to go to a match, they cannot exchange their season ticket to another fan.. In the next matches, the club intends to mobilize this initiative to generate more income.
