## Chartered Flight Cost
The AIFF spent close to ₹6 crore on a private charter flight for Brazil’s 90-member delegation to Kolkata.
## Ticket Pricing Strategy
Tickets range from ₹999 to ₹15,000, with lower categories selling rapidly and 14,000 discounted tickets for local clubs.
## Kolkata Economic Impact
Fans traveling to Kolkata generate spending on hotels, restaurants, transport, and local services, boosting the city’s economy.
## Sponsorship and Revenue
Baazar Style Retail is principal partner for India’s matches against Brazil and Uruguay, adding ₹25 crore in ticketing revenue.
## Post-Event Sustainability
The match’s economic impact depends on sustained ticket demand, sponsorship interest, and football participation after Brazil leaves Kolkata.

India’s ₹50 crore Brazil match highlights commercial potential but faces sustainability challenges post-event.
