In the field of domestic amateur football competitions, the attendance rate of the Jiangsu City Football League (Suzhou Super League) can be called "phenomenal". On match days, many stadiums are crowded with cheers and shouts, which are far more popular than people usually think of amateur leagues.
1. Attendance in the Soviet Super League: The attendance rate of the Soviet Super League is extremely impressive. According to statistics, the attendance rate of some popular games is as high as 80%, and even in some derbies or key matches, the stadium is even full. For example, in the clash between two traditional powerhouses, Nanjing and Suzhou, the number of spectators often exceeds 10,000, and the atmosphere is no less than that of a professional league. Even for regular sessions, the average attendance rate can be stable at around 50% - 60%. This high attendance is not only reflected in the home stadium of big cities, such as Suqian, Lianyungang and other cities, the game scene is also full of popularity. Such an excellent attendance result makes it a leader in amateur football, and it has also triggered an in-depth discussion of the reasons behind it.
Second, the ticket price of the Soviet Super League: The ticket price of the Soviet Super League is indeed very close to the people, which can be called the "cabbage price". Tickets are mostly priced between 5 and 10 yuan, and some cities even offer free admission. In Suqian, for example, in many games, spectators can enter the stadium without paying any fees; Lianyungang also has many games that are open to fans for free. Even for a fee-based game, a $10 ticket price is stress-free for most people, in stark contrast to professional leagues where tickets can cost hundreds of dollars or more. The low ticket price undoubtedly lowers the threshold for watching the game, allowing more people to easily enter the stadium and experience the charm of football events.
3. Reasons for the high attendance rate of the Soviet Super League: Regional culture and emotional ties are important factors for the high attendance rate of the Soviet Super League. Jiangsu is known as "bulk Jiangsu", and the thirteen cities have developed economies and have their own characteristics, and there is a strong atmosphere of competition between cities. For example, the match between Nanjing and Wuxi was nicknamed "Salt Water Duck VS Peach", and the duel with regional characteristics further stimulated the enthusiasm of fans to watch the game. The event operator has also put a lot of effort into publicity and promotion and supporting activities. Before the game, we carried out extensive publicity through social media, short video platforms and other channels, and produced wonderful event previews and player stories to attract the attention of the public. In addition, the event is also deeply integrated with the cultural tourism industry, and a series of preferential packages have been launched, such as Changzhou's free A-level scenic spot tickets for Yangzhou tourists, and Yancheng's "egg cake + viewing package", etc., attracting more foreign tourists and local residents to watch the games.
Fourth, the reason for the low ticket price of the Soviet Super League: As an amateur event, the operating cost of the Soviet Super League is relatively low. There are no high player transfer fees and star player salaries in professional leagues, and the team mainly relies on the support of local football associations, corporate sponsorship and a small amount of ticket revenue. This allows tournament organizers to develop a lower ticket price strategy. The positioning of the event is also a key factor in the low ticket price. The Soviet Super League aims to promote football, increase mass participation, and create an atmosphere of football for all. Through low ticket prices or even free of charge, it will attract more people to the stadium, cultivate a group of football lovers, and lay a mass foundation for the development of football. This positioning for the purpose of popularization determines that the ticket price will not be too high.
5. The relationship between the high attendance rate of the Soviet Super League and the low ticket price: The high attendance rate of the Soviet Super League is the result of a combination of factors, and the low ticket price is an indispensable part of it, but it is by no means the only reason. It cooperates with regional culture, player composition, event operation and other factors to create a hot scene in the Soviet Super League and provide valuable experience for the development of amateur football events. For example, cultural tourism promotion, hot topics, etc. "The first in the game, the fourteenth in friendship", "Thirteen Taibao", "Who is Brother Nan", "Thirteen sisters", "What's left in Changzhou", etc., are all reasons for the high attendance rate of the Soviet Super League. In addition, there is no match-fixing and no black whistle in the Soviet Super League, some are desperate, and some are hardworking. Also, the common people like happy football, happy football. Of course, it may also have something to do with the poor performance of the national football team in the round of 18 and the frequent misjudgments of the Chinese Super League.
