Qatar Football World Cup stadium capacities grow by 12% overnight

The Qatar Football World Cup took another strange twist on Tuesday with the capacity of its eight stadiums officially growing by 12%. Instant the Al Bayt Stadium, which hosted the opening match, went from 60,000 in the pre tournament guide to 68,895 on the official site while the biggest stadium, the Lusail, went from 80,000 to 88,966. It came after admirers were left confused by attendance breaking stadium capacity in every match.

A resource close to the organizers insisted the original numbers indicated FIFA’s requirements for stadiums to have a minimum of 80,000, 60,000, and 40,000 facilities. The Qataris have since found that the number of seats they wanted for broadcast, media, and sponsorship reasons was less than likely, hence the capacity improved

The foundation added that the Lusail can seat 92,000 before broadcast and media requests. Overall, the mixed capacities listed on Qatar’s Football World Cup site improved from a combined 380,000 to 426,221 on Tuesday. A second mystery continues, however: why there seem to be a lot emptier seats than are stated in the official attendance figures. Official statistics indicate that over 88,000 people watch over Saudi Arabia shock Argentina at the Lusail Stadium on Tuesday less than a thousand shy of power, but pockets of accessible seating were visible across the venue.

The first and explanation is Football World Cup ticket holders not showing up. The biggest gaps at all games particularly the under attended Senegal v the Netherlands match on Monday are those in the most expensive seats that run down the side of the field in the first two tiers. This could mean supporters or guests have chosen not to attend.

It could also be that tickets are held by local fans who are unable to make the match. Though FIFA has demonstrated that Qatar is among the countries to have bought the greatest share of the 3m presented tickets, not surprising for a host nation, the precise number sold has not been issued. This week the Guardian met one Qatari follower who stated he had tickets for twenty games. These were bought using two different FIFA accounts, an illegal practice, and he said most of his friends had done similar. Finally, it is likely that foreign tourists, who bought tickets in the original ballot, have chosen not to travel.

One further explanation is the system used on the ground to sell tickets that have been returned or not sold. A central office at the DECC metro station in the West Bay of Doha offers constant access to available match tickets. Although the sales system does not always show every game for sale, with most fixtures beginning to be sold out until the digital displays refresh to show new options. Other factors include problems with the digital ticketing systems, with ticket resolution centers the site of substantial queues in the run up to both the Saudi and England matches

“It is certainly the case, however, that organizers have talked up the number of people coming to the tournament with FIFA’s president, Gianni Infantino, saying on Friday: Three million people will be in the stands watching.” That assertion is not always matching up to the eye test.
