The finance department assures that the Montjuic stadium, with approximately 50,000 spectators, generates the same revenue as a Spotify Camp Nou stadium with 27,000, so progress in processing the licenses for the opening in the next phase is necessary in order to obtain higher revenues in the last quarter of the year and early 2026.

Would have been nice if they realised this before the start of the season so that we could have avoided the losses of playing at the Johan Cruyff.
Which if Camp Nou provides roughly double the profit of Montjuic at half capacity, suggests we lost the profit of around 66000 seat sales across three games at the JC.
The fact that we can generate around a billion Euros in revenue playing at Montjuic is incredible.
Things are never linear, but just as a rough estimate, we will average at least 81,000 fans at the Nou Camp Nou, infact it will probably be around the 88 - 90k mark.
I've used 81k because it is exactly 3 times the 27,000 figure quoted as generating the same revenue as a full Montjuic. So, potentially we will increase match day revenue 3 fold when the new stadium is fully open for business. That is extraordinary.
I'm not sure how big a percentage match day revenues are as a total of all our revenues, but match day revenues are the main source of income for a football club.
So just, as a conservative estimate, our yearly revenues should increase to at least 1.5 billion and potentially much more in our new stadium. For the record, Madrid's yearly revenue in the first year of their new stadium was a mere 1.185 billion, which is a record.
In short,
