This Monday, July 7, B\u00e0squet Girona held an open meeting with its season ticket holders at the Fontajau arena to explain the new updates for the membership campaign and address key concerns. The session\u2014led by Club CEO Stefi Batlle, alongside ticketing manager Pau Recarens, and commercial team members Laia Parareda and Mariona Rodr\u00edguez\u2014focused on the new ticketing model, the push for professionalism, and a commitment to sustainable financial management.<\/p>
\u201cWe want this to be a sustainable model. Within the demands of elite sports, we need common sense and a solid structure that allows us to compete with other clubs while recognizing our own differences,\u201d Batlle emphasized.<\/p>
A model built for steady growth<\/strong> One of the key changes announced was the new pricing model, which eliminates age-based categories in favor of a system based on seat location. According to Recarens, this simplification aims to avoid inequality and streamline management.<\/p> \u201cWe\u2019ve unified all pricing. Season passes range from \u20ac120 to \u20ac180 and include all LF Endesa and EuroLeague Women games. This means, at best, the per-game cost could be between \u20ac4 and \u20ac5,\u201d explained Recarens. \u201cPreviously, passes could only be transferred within the same age group. Now it’s much more flexible and accessible,\u201d he added.<\/p> The club also highlighted additional benefits of the season pass: digital cards, interest-free installment payments, and the option to release one\u2019s seat for future credit. \u201cWe\u2019re not relying on any banks. We act as the bank ourselves to make payments easier, because we know this change is significant,\u201d noted Recarens.<\/p> They also introduced a new Family Stand<\/strong>, replacing the old children\u2019s pricing and offering a designated area with better visibility and game-day experience for families.<\/p> A willingness to listen<\/strong> A key topic that drew interest was the inclusion of the Playoffs<\/strong> in the season ticket price. Though not initially planned, this decision was made in response to early campaign feedback.<\/p> \u201cWe want to show we\u2019re approachable and available. Including the Playoffs is a sign of trust and a way to thank our fans for their support,\u201d said Batlle.<\/p> Additionally, Pere Puig, Laia Palau, and Alfons Arcas\u2014three of the most recognized figures in the Uni structure\u2014joined the discussion, asking for a \u201cvote of confidence\u201d from attendees and fans. \u201cThere are people at B\u00e0squet Girona who are passionate about Uni. They will seek the best for women\u2019s basketball in the city,\u201d said Palau.<\/p> Board member and Uni sponsor Alfons Arcas reflected on the club\u2019s future: \u201cIf we\u2019ve made it this far and want to keep enjoying top-level competition, there\u2019s a cost, and expectations are higher. Uni\u2019s model was outdated. The unification was done to make the project sustainable. We could have withdrawn from EuroLeague, but the budget would\u2019ve been the same.\u201d<\/p> Sporting director Pere Puig also offered a realistic perspective on arena attendance: \u201cI love seeing so many kids in Fontajau, but we can\u2019t idealize it. It\u2019s great, but not a sustainable model for the club financially.\u201d With this, Puig emphasized the need to build a stable and committed base of season ticket holders to support the long-term project.<\/p> Laia Palau echoed this and called for trust: \u201cThere are highly capable people at B\u00e0squet Girona who are passionate about the project. Believe me, they want the best for women\u2019s basketball in the city.\u201d<\/p> Though initially critical, Salvatore \u2018Tato\u2019 Laccarino, representing the girUNIns fan group, expressed his appreciation for the club\u2019s transparency and left with a fresh outlook: \u201cWe\u2019re changing the plan because we want to elevate the product. As a Uni supporter, this creates a bond with the new project. Now it\u2019s clear we\u2019re part of a process.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Monday, July 7, B\u00e0squet Girona held an open meeting with its season ticket holders at the Fontajau arena to explain the new updates for the membership campaign and address key concerns.

Batlle stressed the importance of establishing a long-term project that provides stability for the club and top-tier women\u2019s basketball. She explained that the club\u2019s revenue mainly comes from three areas: sponsorships, the store, and ticketing, and highlighted the importance of improving both fan and team experiences.<\/p>
B\u00e0squet Girona ended the session with an open Q&A and reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with fans to offer the best basketball experience possible. \u201cWe\u2019ll keep fighting to grow. Our main goal is to get people to come. We want them to enjoy a show, equal or better than the men\u2019s team. That has a price. We want to boost ticket sales and make people understand that women\u2019s basketball has value. Also, we\u2019re playing in the EuroLeague Women. One of the best teams in Spain and Europe plays in Fontajau. We want to provide equal or better service than we already are,\u201d said Batlle.<\/p>
