German football is in great shape. Not only down on the pitch, where we can see a brilliant new generation of players with a great future ahead of them - it's also doing great guns up in the stands. The Bundesliga is the league with the highest turnout, mainly thanks to the reasonable pricing of its tickets - a lot more affordable when compared to the Spanish Liga.

Despite being a huge event for the German club, the cheapest seat only costs €27

As a clear example, we only have to take a look at the prices Schalke has announced for the game against Real Madrid. Despite being a huge event for the German club, the cheapest seat only costs €27, the dearest, €77.

In Spain, going to a game is no small luxury, and for many, simply out of the question. To add insult to injury, the minimum wage in Germany is 50% higher than the Spanish one. At the Bernabéu or the Camp Nou, the cheapest ticket compared to Schalke is usually double the price.

Osasuna at the Camp Nou, for example, the cheapest seats cost €47, the most expensive being €177

For the game against Osasuna at the Camp Nou, for example, the cheapest seats cost €47, the most expensive being €177. At Real Madrid, the prices for the round of 16 Champions League game last season ranged from €75 to €100.

The ticket prices at Bayern, present European champion and Bundesliga leader, are also way off the prices Real demands. Tickets for the game against Arsenal are priced between €35 and €100.
