Professional baseball has reached the 9 million spectator mark for the first time in 43 years since its launch.

On the 28th, 69,559 people entered the five stadiums across the country, bringing the total number of spectators to 9,009,004.

There are still 110 games left in this year’s professional baseball season.

If the current pace continues until the end, professional baseball stadiums will see over 10.62 million spectators.

When people flock to a professional baseball stadium, it means the team is making money.

According to the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), as of this day, the total revenue from spectator admissions has reached 133.617 billion won.

This is the first year that total professional baseball ticket sales have exceeded 130 billion won.

Number of spectators and admission revenue by professional baseball year over the past 10 years

The previous record was 123.333 billion won last year.

It never exceeded 100 billion won before 2022.

Even in 2017 (8,406,880 people), which set the record for the largest number of spectators before this year, ticket sales were at the level of 89.826 billion won.

In other words, the price of baseball stadium tickets has increased.

In 2017, the ticket sales revenue per spectator was 16,930 won, but this year it rose 38.8% to 14,845 won.

If the current pace is maintained, total ticket sales this year will exceed 157.7 billion won.

In 2015, when professional baseball first had a 10-team system, ticket sales were approximately 73.068 billion won.

In just 10 seasons, the total ticket sales increased by 2.2 times.

The industry of professional baseball is also growing rapidly.
