Mr Popodopolous Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Disgraceful prices but what a coup! Read that Ronaldo, Kaka and Ozil will be playing in that one too so not such a scratch side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Casillas, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Alonso, Kondogbia, Isco, Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo - What a team. Kondogbia and Bale seem to be their main targets this summer. 9M for Kondogbia and around 70M for Bale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 You wouldn't normally pay £60 to see Real in Madrid, let alone a pre season run out against Bournemouth! Indeed. Man City charged £42 when they played them in the CL last year, Man Utd were more, but still a fair way below £60 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich-TWSC- Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'd pay £60 (reluctantly) if it was a guaranteed senior squad as I can't imagine it would go down well if Real Madrid B turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screech Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 The people who are saying they would pay £60 (whether reluctantly or willingly) to watch this game represent everything that is wrong with football today. You need to kick the club squarely in the nuts when they show you these prices, to show them that you are in charge of what you will and wont pay, £30 for a friendly would be ridiculous.

"Real Madrid superstars Mesut Özil, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo will grace the Goldsands Stadium for a one of a kind game against the Cherries." you cant just go and publish something like that if they're not going to be there. it doesnt say they'll "play" mind, but i think refund demands would be close to 100% if they dont play a fairly senior side for at least half the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerox6060 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 £60 thats a disgrace I doubt if i'd pay that if we were in the champions League v them let alone a poxy friendly which they won't care about, I don't believe in getting this match for nothing but surely £30 would have been enough.

GoingUp Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Ive got two boys 8 and 10 who both like Real as their second team and watch them on sky when there playing.I would absolutely love to take them to see Real play live if they were playing city but £120 ? And you might get a few star players taking some part ? Scandalous in my eyes and taking advantage of people like me as im sure there are others with kids who will harp on not to miss a chance like that.no way would I pay those prices on point of principal but they probably believe harry redknapp and his sandbanks neighbours and hangers on will fill the ground anyway.they don't give a toss about the loyal supporters who attend regularly but thats how where football seems to be heading at present unfortunately.

cider11 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 On sky sports news they were saying in an interview with i think the Bournemouth chairman that tickets will be £60 each for adults and £25 for children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd actually pay 60£? Sorry to sound rude but what a complete mug you are. Football fans by and large in this country are so spineless its laughable. Sooner or later it is going to implode. How can things slowly carrying on rising when the average salary isnt? I cant wait to see football completly ****** in a decade or so's time.

The word 'loyal fan' makes me sick these days, you are not loyal you are a very sad spineless individual if you follow modern football in my opinion.

Toblerone Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 True, even £16 is steep. Still, Bournemouth will make money out of this so why not. Perspective - when I watched Madrid regularly at the Bernebeu in the early / mid noughties it would cost less than EUR20. Sometimes it was as low as EUR6 depending on ticket sales. Football is stupidly expensive here in the UK nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that go for season Ticket holders at clubs like City, Rovers, Rochdale?? How are you defining these "spineless individuals"? Are you applying it to the loyal fans on here who are following their club in modern times, many of whom have been going since the dark days of the 80's and before. Will they still be sad in your eyes if they continue to watch City if we ever reach the prem? Genuine fans. As for the Bournemouth friendly, I hope nobody turns up and their chairman is lumbered with a big bill to pay, but it won't happen, look at Cardiff.

RedM Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 All Bournemouth had to do was put the season tickets up by £60 quid and then state with every one purchased there would be a free gift as a thank you, entry to the game, everybody happy. I know that this probably would not have worked, their season tickets probably went up more than £60 just because of promotion alone, also the game was possibly not definite when ST's went on sale etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia Red Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 What a contrast this fixture is with Yeovil's pre season which consists of Poole Torquay Exeter Plymouth and Forest green- hardly what you call inspiring and not sure it is preparing them for life in the championship.

BS34Red Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 But if they didn't charge 60 quid the game wouldn't happen. Catch 22,would I pay 60 quid to watch a full strength Madrid side at Ashton Gate for that? Well paid simular to watch city v hull at Wembley so for a once in a lifetime game then I think I most likely would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Well they lost 6-0 but the game was a sell out and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience apparently. Pitman went off injured as well for those that care. A lot of people moaned on here but I, for one, was jealous of Bournemouth fans today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
