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.

No room for them to get in, full of Tottenham.

One wonders if it's on the Television why pay to go in person. 

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. Save a fortune...

If you have lived and worked in Thailand then this answer is easily explained.

7,000 baht to watch a football match, Dumbo's.

Better than the 20,000 baht+ being  charged online. However, even 80plus quid for what amounts to an  exhibition match is still way over what it's worth.

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!

It might’ve been apposite to explain to your Dad that those people indeed had the sense to acquire the means to afford such indulgences…

What something is actually worth is determined by what they will pay for it.

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.

As soon as I saw the prices of tickets announced I just knew that it was going to be one of those Thai fiascos.

Can't really see why the media is calling ths a shambles. The organization/security at many big matches in Europe is also far from perfect.

My Dad came from an era where they were more concerned about ensuring that our country remained our country than paying fantastic prices to watch a bunch of overpaid athletes kicking a ball about!

Why are we surprised !, overpricing, scams, scalping, etc are standard procedure here as is double pricing.

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..

You must find things even more confusing in Thailand where Katoeys are better looking than many farang women ! ????
