The new old Barcelona stadium. The Catalans left the Camp Nou and faced problems.
<p>It has been a busy summer for Barcelona’s Olympic Stadium. Coldplay sold tickets to four shows at the 96-year-old arena. More than 200,000 tickets were sold on the first day alone. 53 thousand people came to listen to the Beyonce concert. And now it’s time for Barcelona to take center stage in this stadium, a temporary move to which few are happy.</p>
<p>Xavi expressed concern last season about this need, saying that his team will need fans more than ever, and the move from the Camp Nou will lead to the loss of the feeling of home walls, which is extremely important. But even season ticket holders were not so willing to follow the team from the Camp Nou to the Olympic.</p>
<p>Barcelona had 80,274 season ticket holders last season. They were given the option to delay the renewal by a year until the renovation of the Camp Nou was completed. And a lot of people took advantage of this opportunity, because only 17,552 out of 27,000 Olympic season tickets were bought. For comparison, Espanyol, which flew out of La Liga last season, sold more than 21,000 season tickets.</p>
