Are you willing to pay $140 CAD to see Real Madrid?

[n720.livejournal.com]

Well apparently.. if you want to see them play against Toronto FC, you'll have to:

Toronto soccer fans will have to pay up to $215 a seat to see European titan Real Madrid this summer.

Toronto FC yesterday announced prices from $140 to $215 – compared to a range of $23 to $180 for regular Major League Soccer games – for its international friendly against the 31-time Spanish champions on Aug. 7 at BMO Field.

But TFC season-ticket holders, who make up by far the largest percentage of the 20,000 fans who pack the stadium every game, and those on waiting lists for season tickets, will be able to buy tickets at discounted prices, starting at $125.

Season-ticket holders will get the first opportunity next Monday. Those on waiting lists will get a chance next Wednesday, June 17.

Sales to the general public will begin on June 22 at 11 a.m.

I paid less than that for 3 tickets to Chelsea v. Inter. That is kind of BS.

[natvach.livejournal.com]

[n720.livejournal.com]

Toronto is kind of BS

[lokandkey.livejournal.com]

nope. i'd rather pay to go to europe and see them there.

[oui-janine.livejournal.com]

lol, not from America you couldn't. From the UK, definitely.

[oui-janine.livejournal.com]

Will they actually even play their A team? I mean, I would be worried about people picking up injuries on what is essentially a marketing exercise.
Has anyone been to one of these before?



I want tickets to the Emirates cup in London :( Damn my lack of funds.

[lalalalovesong.livejournal.com]

bitch please.

[blumenfeuer.livejournal.com]

lol did you except them to keep their mls prices? (which are pretty high compared to other teams.) real commands a really high appearance fee.

[niviene.livejournal.com]

That fee was $1M dollars to bring Real to TO...not including the cost that BMO field has to incure to put down actual GRASS.

[pattinevski.livejournal.com]

any news on the DC prices?
i would pay ungodly prices to see Real Madrid.

[niviene.livejournal.com]

I heard the Washington prices for Real tickets were $150 US. Not sure if that's accurate but that's what I was told.

[xmakesmewonder.livejournal.com]

That's such shit. No way can I blow most of my Canada spending money on this when I go there. SCREW THIS. :(

[sunshinelucy.livejournal.com]

I had a solid plan of going until I saw the price :o/

[n720.livejournal.com]

I did too, but I wont lie.. I'm still hoping that some miracle happens and that the price lowers.. dramatically

[n720.livejournal.com]

SAME

[striker5.livejournal.com]

That's a lot, but I would pay that to see Iker in person. I'm a sucker.
