Per body: Real Madrid’s member stadium revenue this season is 402 million euros, and the total expenditure at the Bernabeu is 1.347 billion euros.

November 22, Daily News reported that Real Madrid chairman Florentino Perez predicted in a management report submitted to its shareholders that "membership and stadium"-related revenue will reach 402 million euros this season, compared with 326 million euros last season.

In the 2018/19 season, the last season the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was fully operational, the club generated €173 million in revenue through the same channel. The 130% growth in these six years is not entirely due to the renovation of the Paseo de la Castellana stadium (the club expects a 70% growth in the 2024/25 season, about 120 million euros), but this figure is enough to illustrate how the new Bernabeu stadium has significantly increased Real Madrid's revenue capabilities.

When Florentino Perez announced the final renovation plan in September 2018, he predicted that it would increase revenue by 150 million euros per year, and the actual results have exceeded this expectation. However, he had also estimated the project cost at 525 million euros, and the total expenditure has now reached 1.347 billion euros, 150% higher than the original budget.

Today, Real Madrid has a multi-functional venue that is unique in Europe (at least until the renovation of Camp Nou is completed), with strong reception capacity, modern facilities, multi-purpose use and an excellent location.

The huge profits brought by the NFL Recently, the NFL visited Madrid, and it was revealed that the event brought 10 million euros in revenue to the club, proving the huge appeal of this venue designed as a large-scale event center. This is a paradigm shift in the sports industry, making stadiums no longer just sanctuaries for football matches.

The epidemic avoided conflicts between construction and events, but it also led to high cost overruns, mainly financed by loans, resulting in huge debts (1.17 billion euros of loans with an average interest rate of 3.2%). Florentino Perez hopes to solve this problem by bringing in outside investors.

The noise problem hindered the concert. Perhaps even the powerful chairman did not expect to encounter obstacles with the judiciary and the residents of the Chamartin district. Concerts have been suspended for more than a year due to failure to comply with city noise regulations. Although there are rumors that a solution is imminent, it has yet to be confirmed.

Another business avenue that suffered a setback was the parking lot project around the stadium. Although Real Madrid won the city's tender, courts twice overturned the decision, deeming it invalid. The club has spent 23 million euros on this project, and the project is still on hold and its future is unclear.

In addition, the super VIP box known as SkyBar has also been involved in legal disputes. Real Madrid awarded it to a company, but the company never opened and was left with an unpaid bill that was ultimately borne by the club. The company blamed the club for failing to provide necessary support on time, leading to its financial collapse.

Currently, other profit channels such as VIP boxes, official stores, tours, corporate events, five restaurants and the newly opened food market Bernabéu Market last week are operating at full speed.

The venue is now an all-weather indoor venue because the retractable roof almost never opens. Especially during Real Madrid home games, mainly to avoid more noise complaints. The turf has been in poor condition in recent months, but it is being replaced with new turf after last Sunday's NFL game. Real Madrid's next home game will be on December 7.
