More fans than ever before were dazzled by the stars of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague in person this season as the competition witnessed a record number of spectators at games. The per-game average of 10,383 fans per game marks a whopping 18% increase over\u00a0last season’s then-record 8,748<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Six clubs sold at least 90 percent of their available tickets this season and that number could have been even higher; Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv announced over the summer that it had sold all of its season tickets for 2023-24, but after playing before a crowd of 10,559 on opening night, it was forced to relocate all of its home games to Belgrade and play most of them without any spectators.<\/p>\n

Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade led the league in both average attendance and fill rate at 19,916 and 99%, respectively. The other top teams in fill rate were Zalgiris Kaunas (96%), FC Bayern Munich (95%), Olympiacos Piraeus (94%), LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (94%) and Virtus Segafredo Bologna (90%). The league-average fill rate of 82% was an increase of 2% over the previous season.<\/p>\n

Seven clubs averaged more than 10,000 spectators per game, leading to a total number across all games of 3,000,841, which is 300,000 more fans than the previous season!<\/p>\n

After Partizan, the leaders in overall ticket sales were Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (17,842), Zalgiris Kaunas (14,773), Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (14, 526) and Anadolu Efes Istanbul (12,165).<\/p>\n

It proved to be another banner year for basketball fans on the Old Continent, who made their ways to arenas all across the EuroLeague in 2023-24 like never before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
