Does anyone know?....do the 'big' players turn up to these events or are you effectively watching the reserves?

Will be mixed squads. A number of youngsters but will consist mainly of household names. Expect lots of subs. Could even be two different XI's 45mins each.

Played at speed of 2 mph.

 

Incidentally, definitely not the kind of game that Ronaldo would turn up to (though he doubtless will have left Man U by July).

Maybe they are re-thinking the exorbitant ticket prices?

After the match knowing Thailand.

What are the prices and are there different categories of prices.

[KhaoNiaw]

I'm still doubtful as to whether it will really happen. The teams aren't coming out of the goodness of their hearts - they're only looking to make up for some of the lost revenue from the last couple of years, so doubt their fees will be at the lower end of the scale. This game will probably be before they start their proper summer training camps so the big players aren't going to be risked for a whole lot of minutes. There was a story about the organizer looking for financial support. If those announced ticket prices are necessary to make it financially viable, maybe someone's having second thoughts.

Half decent view for 15000 to 20000 Baht.

20000 Baht about a monthly income for a novice public officer.

I better don't comment where they can shove their tickets to.

5,000B for the cheapest, going up to 25,000B. What on EARTH are these people smoking? How can they find 60,000 rich mugs daft enough to pay those prices for what will be a kickaround in the heat, and possibly rain!?

 

I paid 300B to watch Liverpool Real Madrid down there quite a few years ago.

It's to hot and muggy to sit in a stadium to watch anything in Bangkok.

 

Air conditioned sports bar with sexy waitresses is more my speed.

Pretty sure if the teams can not make it to Bkk, there will be a exhibition penalty shootout featuring the NYE opera bloke and the K-Pop girl.

Exciting stuff indeed.

I agree that it's ridiculous but just look at all those Mercs BMWs and other European cars on the road in and around bkk. 25k is less than one months repayment on most of their cars. Look at all the boob jobs, nose jobs, designer handbags and the rest. Even the lower class seem to be able to afford to cover their bodies in tattoos somehow.

Depends on whether they are released from their "hospitels" in time ????

a thousand dollars just to sit and watch grown men kick a ball.  You have to be kidding me.  200 for the nose bleed section with no beer.  not a chance.

 

I have a feeling that it was postponed because someone in England took a look at the prices and started laughing.

 

What would it cost to watch a league game between these to

Tickets would start at about 2,500 baht but would be difficult to get unless you have a season ticket.

Is anyone on here actually planning on buying any tickets & attending the match in Bangkok ?

Not for a exhibition match. Likely the only thing I would recognize is the playing strips.

I applaud them for bringing the game to us....but at those prices?????

Not on your nellie.

But hey let's put up (was it 600 million baht?) for a opera singer and a K-Pop superstar.

Seems to be something inconsistent here.
