Executive-Summary-WPT-2019

Attendance at the central court Throughout the 2019 season, more than 278,000 attendees have witnessed the best padel in the world live on the central WPT court during the Exhibition, Challenger, Open, WOpen, Master and Master Final tournaments. This high attendance adds to the thousands of fans who, for free, have witnessed the quarry phases that are held at the official clubs in each of the cities that hosts a WPT event. World Padel Tour has opted for a new ticketing management model, reinforcing the numbering, sectorization, promotion and anticipation of the process to provide every fan with greater comfort, service and planning capacity. As a result of all this, attendees have increased by 32% in the central court compared to last season, in some cases achieving “sold out” during the weekend, a situation that reaffirms the success and interest of the competition. The Estrella Damm Master Final 2019, with more than 30,000 attendees, has achieved the highest number of spectators witnessing a padel tournament in history. The semifinal day was the one with the highest attendance, with 9,585 spectators at Palau Sant Jordi (2,306 more than in the 2018 edition in Madrid), which meant a record of attending a match in the history of this sport, receiving fans from 13 countries: Spain, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, England, France, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Mexico, Argentina, United States and Canada.
