TigerandDog Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 3 hours ago, KannikaP said: Both teams are 'Reds' Did the fans who payed full price not buy their tickets 2 years ago when the match was announced, and before Ronaldo re-joined the Filth. The match may have been in the planning for 2 years, BUT tickets only went on sale earlier this year. So another typical ASEAN Now uninformed comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that like watching live videos of Thailand rather than visiting? No fuss with entry requirements, mystery fees, baggage handler strikes or dual pricing.

However, even 80plus quid for what amounts to an exhibition match is still way over what it's worth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambum Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 5 hours ago, bobandyson said: Why do people the world over attend sporting events when they can watch in the comfort of their homes? The atmosphere. The occasion. The getting out of the house and away from a screen that dominates so many peoples lives now. The memory of actually having done something different from a quotidian existence. . .. etc,, etc. With a price tag of from 7000 baht up to 15000 baht for the privilege? Some people"have more money than sense" as my Dad used to say! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 8 hours ago, webfact said: Tickets for 7,000 baht were going for 3,500 baht, 14,000 for 7,000 and 15,000 for 7,500 baht. I've read that the organisers were originally selling tickets for twice the amount agreed with the clubs. The clubs arrive and - guess what - the tickets go back to the contracted price. Coincidence? The usual Thai smoke and mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we’re all considerably richer now by virtue of not living in the past . We’ve got those fancy calculators and computers now which help us understand that football is an entertainment business and top performers earn their salaries just as movie and pop stars did..
