One expert said giving more fans a chance to "attend" was important for professional clubs.

This was especially the case with top football teams, Matt Cutler, editor of SportBusiness International, told the BBC.

"If you look at all the big clubs, you can't just get a season ticket - you have to sit on a waiting list.
