IPL: Kolkata Knight Riders' net worth and sources of revenue
Currently, Knight Riders are the second-richest franchise in the league, with a net worth of INR 740 crore.
3. Stadium tickets and gate passes
Cricket-crazy fans in Kolkata never shy away from showing their love to their IPL team. In the last 15 years, a massive crowd has shown up consistently at the iconic Eden Gardens to support their team. The Eden Gardens, which has the capacity to host 80,000 people, is the third-largest stadium in terms of seating capacity.
Emboldened by the warmth and backing of the local crowd at their classical home ground, KKR have played some incredible cricket in these years. The connection between the team and fans has profited the KKR owners too as they bag a decent amount home through stadium ticket sales.
From 2020-22, KKR supporters and owners suffered a huge loss due to the COVID-19 outbreak. On one side, fans went into grief due to missing the T20 action while on the other side, KKR owners also couldn’t generate revenue from stadium tickets. Apart from tickets, the franchise also sells gate passes and adds more money to their wallet.
