The ticket sales revenue earned by the KBO was approximately 14.6 billion won,
which greatly exceeded the record high of 2012 (10.39222 billion won, 15 games).
According to Article 47 of the KBO League regulations,
the remaining amount of PS ticket sales after deducting all costs incurred for hosting the event is divided among the 5 teams that advanced to the PS.
First, the team that placed 1st in the regular season takes 20% of the dividend,
and the remaining amount is distributed as follows: 50% to the Korean Series winning team,
24% to the runner-up team, 14% to the team that lost the playoffs, and 9% to the team that lost the wild card playoffs.
Accordingly, the amount distributed to the winning team, Kia, also increased significantly.
This year, the remaining 8.75 billion won after deducting 40% of the PS revenue will be divided among the five teams.
Kia will receive 1.75 billion won first as they took first place in the regular season, and will take 3.5 billion won,
half of the remaining 7 billion won, for winning the KS, bringing the total revenue to 5.25 billion won.
Last year, LG Twins, which won the integrated championship, received about 2.943 billion won in dividends.
Kia will receive about 1.8 times more.
In addition, Kia Tigers can receive an additional bonus from the parent company.
According to the bonus regulations of the KBO office and the 10 teams,
the parent company of the winning team can pay up to 50% of the total dividends received by the baseball team as a championship bonus.
