In the 35th round of the La Liga focus game - the "National Derby" on May 11, Barcelona faced Real Madrid at the Olympic Ruez Corpanis Stadium. With the huge appeal of the game, Barcelona set a new revenue record in this game.

According to RAC1, Catalonia Radio Station, a total of 50,319 fans were attracted to the game, bringing the club more than 13.8 million euros in comprehensive income, including ticket sales, VIP box services, catering and other on-site experience projects.

This number is almost twice that of the "national derby" last season. Last season, Barcelona earned about 7.6 million euros from the game.

The World Sports analysts said that the significant increase in revenue was mainly attributed to Barcelona's strategy adjustment in ticketing - they adopted a dynamic fare system. For example, the best seating fare in the "rooftop" area is as high as 1,250 euros, while other areas offer two fares: 450 euros and 745 euros. Although the price is expensive, the tickets are still sold out by fans and are sold out within a few hours after the sale.

In addition, the high-end VIP experience also plays a key role in Barcelona's high income. These exclusive viewing packages range from €3,750 to €6,500, and are aimed at high net worth customers who want to enjoy a private and noble viewing experience.

It is worth mentioning that Travis Scott, a famous American rapper, also appeared in this game, further increasing the attention of the event. He brought a special performance to the audience who purchased VIP tickets on May 9, becoming one of the highlights of event marketing.

In the end, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-3 with a total score, leading their opponents 7 points in the standings. Currently, there are only three rounds left in the league, and the team's prospects for competing for the La Liga championship are bright.
