An official from the Seoul club said on the 6th, “About 27,000 seats were sold within 30 minutes of the opening of ticket reservations for the home opening game.”
Seoul began selling tickets for the Hana Bank K-League 1 2024 home opening match against Incheon United, which will be held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th, from 6 p.m. on the 5th.
As of 3 p.m. on the 6th, less than a day after reservations began, the number of reservations had exceeded 33,000.
Since 2018, when the K-League paid attendance count began, we are also cautiously looking to take first place in the largest number of spectators.
In Seoul, on April 8 last year, fans of popular trot singer Lim Young-woong, who performed at the city hall and halftime, gathered in a long line, and 45,007 spectators entered the stadium according to the official count.
On this day, it was the largest attendance in K-League history since the paid attendance was counted.
A record was set.
Reservations for the home opening game this season due to the ‘Lingard effect’ are hotter than during the ‘Lim Young-woong effect’.
After last season, Seoul appointed coach Kim Ki-dong to reorganize the team and recruited Lingard, who played more than 200 games for EPL powerhouse Manchester United and also participated in the World Cup as a member of the England national team.
Jesse Lingard's every move, from his arrival to training and life in Seoul, has been a hot topic every day, and game videos such as Lingard's movements and crosses, which he played as a substitute in the first round match against Gwangju FC, received a lot of attention online.
Last year, after the news that Lim Young-woong would appear as a celebrant at a home game was announced, 25,000 seats for that game were sold out within 30 minutes of the start of reservations. is faster than this.
An official from the Seoul club said, "The current sales trend is better than the sales rate on the day of opening and the following day for tickets for Lim Young-woong's City Championship game."
Seoul is expected to achieve the largest attendance at the K League 1 home opening match since the introduction of the promotion system in 2013.
The largest audience for each club's home opening game was 39,871, recorded by Daegu FC against Jeonnam Dragons in 2013.
The club is feeling the growing interest not only in the number of reservations, but also in the number of calls inquiring about reservations.
A team official said, "People who want to visit the Seoul World Cup Stadium for the first time ask which seat is best.
When we tell them the seat, they ask again, 'Can you see Lingard well from that seat?'"
In particular, since this game is a 'Gyeongin derby' against Incheon, Incheon fans are expected to fill the away seats at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Last year, Seoul ranked first among domestic professional sports teams, attracting a total of 430,029 people to 19 home games, attracting an average of 22,633 people.
This season, Seoul, backed by Coach Kim Ki-dong and Lingard, is trying to once again break the average attendance record set last year.
If the team scores a victory in the first home game of the season, where fans' interest is greater than ever, the atmosphere in Seoul is expected to reach its peak.
