Data for dollars - How fan insights drive revenue
summary
Panel shows sports clubs turning a unified fan view and ticketing feature into real cash: a Galatasaray rollout converts event access (1.2–2M attendees) into $2M+ revenue by gating front‑stage access behind premium subscriptions, then retaining users via preseason streams and advance ticket utility. Discussion covers embedded fintech (cards, cashback, loyalty) that capture transaction data, and a promised 2026 rollout of AI agents that auto-suggest revenue campaigns; several clubs commit to pilots.
