This is how much the fans’ evening at the stadium costs families

As a fan of a sports club, you have to deal with ups and downs: dream goals, injured stars, streaks of wins or smashed defeats make the spirits of the fans cheer and suffer. It’s also an emotional rollercoaster ride that can cost a lot of money.

This Tuesday evening, sports fans are having a hard time choosing between football and ice hockey: at Letzigrund, Grasshopper Club Zurich welcomes the dominant Young Boys from Bern. And EHC Biel slammed his back against the wall in the fifth final match at his Tissot Arena. His ultimate opponent, Servette Geneva, is up 3:2 in the series and could claim the National League title today. There is much more at stake in the ice today. But this also applies to fans’ wallets. Blick compares stadium visits between two families, two adults and two children aged ten and twelve.

More expensive tickets, cheaper bratwurst

Everything starts with tickets. Normally, kids pay about half a seat when visiting the stadium in Biel. The price cut is even greater for the standing room. But for today’s last match, the corresponding discount is missing from the EHC Biels price list. If the family wants to stay, they have to pay between 72 and 120 francs per person, depending on the category. It gives the family 328 francs in the 2 cheapest categories. At the Family Corner in Letzigrund, the family only needs to put 80 francs on the table for four tickets. For a 1:0 football visit.

Of course, the price comparison between a final game and a regular league game is not entirely fair. Malicious rumors also claim that the level of Swiss ice hockey is worlds higher than football. Last minute decision makers can forget about the hockey game anyway. The last game is sold out again. If you don’t have tickets yet, you’ll have to buy them online at exorbitant prices.

In the stadium, at the latest before the break, young people must make it clear that it is time for sausages. Seven francs each in Biel. Then two more beers and two more soft drinks, earning 49.60 francs for the meal. In Letzigrund, a sausage costs one franc more. Including drinks, a visit to Letzigrund is slightly more expensive at CHF 53. The hockey trip is leveled at the second budget point: 1 to 1.

Hockey fans need to rummage through their pockets when it comes to jerseys.

The four family members also donned their club jerseys while visiting the stadium as fanatical fans. At the GC fan shop they have to pay 79 francs per child and 99 francs per adult. Plus four fan scarves for CHF 19 each. It’s 432 francs in total. Entertainment in Biel costs much more: an original mailbox costs 299 francs. That makes 598 francs for two parents. Two EHC Biel T-shirts, 35 francs each, will do the job, so that kids don’t get hung up on the shirt that is too long. Plus four scarves for 35 CHF each. A total of 808 francs. In the third budget item, the football visit leads 2:1.

Another product for GC fans tonight may be a reasonable deposit: the fan shop sells swimsuits for 50 francs. If the team struggles too much against the leader YB…

Result: The family pays 565 francs for a fully equipped excursion to the Letzigrund Stadium. For the final in Biel, he has to pay 1185.60 francs, more than double that.
