  3. How Stock Markets Work Professional Sports finance Media – TV, internet and Radio pay huge sums of money for the rights to show major sporting events. They pay the governing bodies who use the money to promote and develop the sport. Sponsorship and merchandising – Big companies pay professional teams to put their names on their shirts, around the stadium, on the programme, and on the internet. Ticket sales – Big teams and events sell tickets to spectators that raise finance. If 80,000 people watch a football match and pay a minimum of £30 per ticket this raises £2,400,000. ‘Price discrimination’ means these clubs will differentiate the prices for those who can afford a higher price. Grants – The Sports Aid Foundation provide grants to up and coming sports people to help them train and compete. This is how less publicised athletes get finance. Competitions – entrance fees can make money for the organisers or the competitions can provide some of the biggest rewards, which draw the best players/teams in the world to compete at that level. 3
