Just tried a game with Barcelona and thought i check what there season tickets sell for. Id sold 41888 at the time and made 5.7mil income. That works out at roughly £136 per ticket. WTF is up with that? Ill buy 10 if thats what they go for in real life.

Im sure a barca season ticket is worth well over £500 so they are losing over 3 times the amount of profit they should be getting. whats the point in having such a big ground if you only make as much money on it as a 30k seater. It actually makes you less money with these prices for a bigger ground as maintenence is higher. Any chance of a fix for this?

Tickets are actually very reasonable at Barca - and not just Barca, in Europe generally, i know someone who not long ago paid £9 to watch Dortmund . I remember reading a piece in FourFourTwo about how tickets at the Nou Camp were cheaper than at Spotland (Rochdale)

That £138 will have been put in there by the Barca researcher and i presume he knows what he's talking about

Do the boards ever announce the ticket prices are going up, never seen it

Tickets are a lot cheaper on the continent.

I've seen two games in Rome. The second time I went was in March, and 2 tickets cost a total of 30 Euro's in the Curva Sud. That's about 10 pounds a ticket!

Real Madrids season ticket is about £600 on this game though. almost 4 times as much as barca's. im sure barca dont need to put there tickets so low to fill the stadium. They could sell out there season tickets at a much higher price than £136. Thats like £6 pound a game...way to cheap!

RM are a bunch of ***** though :thdn:

also i think the demographics of the support of RM and Barca is totally different.

RM are supported by the upper classes of Madrid, whereas Barca are more working class.

Sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong

Barca League Season tickets cost between 81 and 684 euros per their website. A middle of the road ticket seems to be about 300, so about 210 quid by todays exchange rate.

Actually I think you are wrong. I'm from Barcelona (althought I support Real Madrid :p), and season tickets are far more expensive. Of course there are different kinds of position, but the average price is about £600 I think
