How Much Does a Modular Grandstand Cost? (Purchase or Rental)
Are you organizing a sporting or cultural event and need to accommodate an audience? The question of budget is central. What is the price of a rental modular grandstand? What are the rates for purchasing a large grandstand or smaller tiered seating? ALCOR Équipements, a partner to organizers and local authorities for decades, invites you to discover the indicative average costs for buying or renting a modular grandstand.
What is a modular grandstand?
A modular grandstand is a demountable and scalable seating structure. As such, it can be temporary or permanent, while offering the flexibility to expand, reduce, or reconfigure the seating tiers in the latter case.
Unlike concrete constructions, it offers total flexibility. We install these tiered seating systems for stadiums, performance halls, or temporary events. Whether classified as an event grandstand or a sports stand, its strength lies in its ability to be customized and adapted to the configuration of your grounds.
