Phil 0 Posted July 2, 2013 Good game for Bournemouth.However at £60 a ticket it''s a rip off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,660 Posted July 2, 2013 Only £55 if you are a season ticket holder. [:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggy 0 Posted July 2, 2013 A lot of money, but plenty will pay it, small price to pay to say "I saw Cristiano Ronaldo at Dean Court". Bet people on here would, in hindsight, have been happy to pay sixty quid to be able to say "I saw Pele play at Carrow Road". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadingCanary 0 Posted July 2, 2013 Wouldn''t mind watching Sergio Ramos have to face Bournemouth''s finest though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,586 Posted July 2, 2013 "TIL 1010" Only £55 if you are a season ticket holder. So three people get a fiver off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redders Right Foot 22 Posted July 2, 2013 is the RM first team guaranteed to be playing though?wouldn''t be shocked if they sent out their second tier team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadingCanary 0 Posted July 2, 2013 I read somewhere (think it was Sky) that Bournemouth stated Real Madrid had to play First Team players.....But then again what is a "First Team Player"...Surely one of the reserves who played 1 game a season could be called a First Teamer.Reckon there will be a few of the big names on show though.I''d happily pay around £35 / £40 to see Ramos / Alonso / Pepe / Ozil / Kaka etcI never got to see Ronaldo during his time in the Prem though so wouldn''t mind seeing him either !£60 is very expensive but i''m sure they''ll sell out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings of a Sparrow 1,388 Posted July 2, 2013 I would imagine Real Madrid demand/command a huge appearance fee, so wouldn''t imagine it''s the blatant rip-off it may appear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted July 3, 2013 I don''t think Real Madrid will make anything out of this, I''m fairly confident it''s a run out for them and as the away team they''ll receive sweet F A - just a great chance for Bournemouth to get a decent pay day hence the £60 tickets. Dean Court or whatever it''s called now is a tiny ground - made me laugh when that ''Moose'' from TalkSport was asking on Twitter this morning how 80,000 odd capacity Man U only charged £40 to see Real yet 10,000 odd capacity Bournemouth are charging £60? Is he thick or something?. Football is business like it or not, and there''ll be plenty round these parts that''ll happily pay the £60 asking price to see the Galacticos up close - why should their owner Eddie Mitchell only charge 15 squid when he knows it''ll sell out for £60?!?!.

pete 318 Posted July 3, 2013 I saw Pele play and score at Craven Cottage in a friendly with Santos. Didn''t cost £60 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings of a Sparrow 1,388 Posted July 4, 2013 Bournemouth club chairman Eddie Mitchell said:"It is very difficult to see where to pitch prices but we have things to cover," he said, a reference to the estimated £1m pre-season friendly appearance fee that Real Madrid have apparently demanded.

Bill 1,788 Posted July 4, 2013 " I''m fairly confident it''s a run out for them and as the away team they''ll receive sweet F A"eh !The away team are paid a fee, that is why friendlies mostly have a ''bigger'' club playing the home side. What that fee is will be variable depending upon what the away club thing it is worth ie a game against a local German club when at a nearby training camp may mean a far lower fee. But there will be a fee, hence the high prices.As for Madrid there is an airport locally and Bournemouth is not the worst place in the world to spend a few days break so it''s not necessarily as odd as say having to bed down in a Travelodge on the outskirts of Scunthorpe.As to "a reference to the estimated £1m pre-season friendly appearance fee that Real Madrid have apparently demanded."that is ludicrousThe Bournemouth ground holds around 10,000, so at maximum prices it will only generate around £600,000 and I can''t see Bournemouth stumping up around a half a million and more to pay for a friendly.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted July 5, 2013 Whichever way you look at it, that report has to be total nonsense regarding the £1mill fee - a 10k odd ground and kids tickets are only priced at 15 squid?. I don''t know where but I''ve definitely heard of the ''bigger'' sides waving their appearance fee for a friendly - afterall what''s 100k to Real Madrid? Wouldn''t cover Ronaldo''s wage for 7 days. They''re certainly not playing Bournemouth to make money that''s for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
