Brazil Stadiums are more expensive seats than the past World Cups
Cost per chair is $ 12,100, almost double the price in Germany (U.S. $ 6400)
The fans who attend matches of the World Cup in one of the 12 Brazilian stadiums will sit in the most expensive seats in recent Fifa World. Each of the 664,000 seats installed in Brazilian arenas (adding all stages) cost on average £ 12,000. The figure is almost double the price in Germany, which reached U.S. $ 6.4 billion in the 2006 World Cup. Already South Africa has spent the equivalent of £ 7000 per unit in the 2010 World Cup.
The price of a chair in the stadiums hosting matches of the Cup is one way to evaluate how much the host country invested to get the tournament. You take the total value of the construction of the arena or its reform and divide that amount by the number of seats for the fans. The larger the capacity of a stadium, the lower the unit price of the seat. Thus, the report of the State made a comparison, based on official figures, the price of the seats of the last three World Cups.
Brazil, according to the federal government spent U.S. $ 8.05 billion for the adequacy of the 12 arenas. The ten South African stadiums cost £ 4.15 billion (591,000 seats). In the German Cup, the value of the 12 arenas was R $ 4.2 billion (655,000 seats). The final accounts of spending the World Cup in 2006 and 2010 were released by the Local Organizing Committees of the respective host countries.
According to Jose Roberto Bernasconi, national president of the Union of Architecture and Engineering (Sinaenco), the big difference in the cost of stadiums in the country compared to previous World Cups is linked to lack of planning and the beginning of some works without the engineering design ready . "We need to enhance the planning. Complete design directly influences the cost of the work, on time and on quality of construction," he said.
Brazil was chosen host the World 2014 on October 30, 2007, but engineering projects began to leave the paper only in 2010 and 2011, when the period of preparation for the event has already passed half.

Among all 34 stages of World Cups 2006, 2010 and 2014 together, Mane Garrincha is the most expensive: each chair installed at the stadium in Brasilia cost $ 19,800 - the price of the stadium reached R $ 1.403 billion. Last Sunday, the Court of the Federal District (TCDF) stated that the value can exceed U.S. $ 1.6 billion. Thus, each of the 71,000 seats in the arena of DF will cost £ 22,600.
Arena Corinthians opening stage of the World Cup, the value of each seat was R $ 17,803 - the index is available in the City of São Paulo site, with the proportion of R $ 820 million for a stadium of 48,000 places. The installation of mobile stands, with 19 800 seats, will cost £ 38 million. In previous World Cups, the Allianz Arena, Munich, and Green Point, Cape Town, are among the most expensive stadiums. The cost per seat was R $ R $ 13.9 thousand and U.S. $ 14,700 respectively.
NEW STAGES
In Brazil, seven arenas were built for the World Cup: Arena Corinthians, Pernambuco Arena, Arena Pantanal, Amazon Arena, Mane Garrincha, and Fonte Nova Arena das Dunas. Five undergone renovations: Arena da Baixada, Beira-Rio, Castellan, and Mineirão Maracanão. Rio and Belo Horizonte, however, the changes have been profound.
In Germany, five venues were built especially for the World Cup. In addition to the Allianz Arena, the event took place in Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Leipzig. The number is the same in South Africa, who built arenas in Durban, Cape Town, Nelspruit, Polokwane and Port Elizabeth. In 2006, seven arenas have undergone reform. In 2010, there were five.
According to Bernasconi, a fundamental reform rather than a new construction does not necessarily decrease the cost of the work. "It's on. In some cases a reform implies partial or restrictions that might impede the work breaks," he said.
