How much money does maracana stadium make per game?

Answer 1

Really hard to say. Even if you limit the answer to the Brazilian real (plural is reais), it would depend on the price of the tickets at each game or event. In addition to soccer matches, other sports (like volleyball) use Maracana stadium, with different prices than for soccer games. What kind of game do you mean? If you only want to consider soccer games, there are still a lot more variables.

At the time the stadium was closed for renovations in 2010, it had a capacity of 82,238 spectators. It's supposed to open in 2013 with a capacity of 85,000. There is a multi-tier price structure. Soccer tickets were running from 40 to 60 reais per seat in 2010, when it closed. You'd have to know how many tickets at each price were sold to determine total TICKET revenue (income) for any particular game. If you assume a sell-out of 85,000 seats, at an average price of 48 reais per seat (just a guess), you get a bit over 4 million reais. At the current exchange rate of about 1 dollar to 0.55 reais, you'd get about $2.25 million US, for ticket sales.

And that still doesn't really address your question, how much does the stadium "make", a term that usually equates to profit, not revenue -- total revenue minus total expenses equals profit. You'd have to determine total ticket revenue plus any additional revenue (say, from sale of TV rights, sale of food and drinks, etc), then you'd have to find out total cost of personnel, utilities, food and drink, etc. If you can get all that info, you could determine how much the stadium "made" for that one game. Do all this for an entire season, and you could calculate the average profit per soccer game.

...But that would still leave the answer in REAIS, not dollars, and the exchange rate fluctuates from day to day.

Good luck finding a better answer.
