Lig, the attendance number rose to 661 thousand from 500 thousand. In the season 2014-2015, 302 thousand football fans attended Ziraat Turkish Cup games whilst this figure rose to 364 thousand for the season 2015 - 2016. As for Champions League and UEFA Europa League games, for the season 2015-2016, attendance numbers rose to 477 thousand from 336 thousand during the season 2014-2015.

"Adanaspor returns to storm through Spor Toto Super Lig"


Adanaspor has won promotion to Spor Toto Super Lig after years of absence; and this promotion is expected to give rise to a significant increase in both attendance rates and matchday revenues, Kazanci stated. "Number of Passolig Card holders was 8 thousand 360 among Adanaspor fans during the season 2014-2015, and this figure increased by 162% to 23 thousand 145 in the season 2015-2016.  The Taurus Tigers enjoyed a similar increase in total attendance rate, which doubled its attendance number for the season 2014/2015 during the season 2015/2016, hosting 100 thousand football fans in the last two seasons. We expect to see a much greater increase in attendance numbers of the club, as Adanaspor storms through Spor Toto Super Lig during the season 2016/2017."


"One of Turkey's Top 5 Football Clubs by Ticket Sales: Adana Demirspor"


Adana Demirspor was one of the top 5 football clubs by ticket sales for the season 2014/2015 among other teams in Spor Toto Super Lig and PTT 1. Lig; and fueled by its ambition for promotion to Super Lig, it has also achieved the highest attendance rate in PTT 1. Lig for the last two seasons. We believe that Adana Demirspor, with its established history and loyal supporters, will be one of the greatest candidates in promotion race during the season 2016 - 2017 and maintain and reinforce its leading position in number of Passolig Card holders in PTT 1. Lig. Number of Passolig Card holder Adana Demirspor fans increased by 44% to 42 thousand 243 for the season 2015-2016 from 28 thousand 40 in 2014-2015.  A total of 124,560 football fans attended Adana Demirspor games in the last two seasons. As a very passionate football city, we expect to see a great season in Adana in the season 2016-2017."
