Cholet Basket has achieved an impressive streak of 45 consecutive sold-out games at their home venue, La Meilleraie. This remarkable feat has led to an average attendance of 4,713 spectators during the regular season, placing them as the 7th highest attended team in Betclic Elite and achieving a 100% capacity rate. This perfect attendance record has been maintained since November 19, 2023, a distinction no other French team can claim.
The club’s communication director, Arnaud Chauviré, shared with Courrier de l’Ouest that even after allocating seats for season ticket holders and VIPs, only 2,219 tickets were available to the public. When online ticketing opened, over 3,312 individuals were already logged in, with tickets selling out in less than five minutes.
Looking ahead, Cholet Basket is anticipating the completion of a new arena by the end of 2028. This new facility is expected to have a capacity of 6,000 seats, a much-needed expansion given their current consistent sell-out success.
