Roy Keane called it. "Prawn sandwich bridage". Look at the Premier league clubs and their hospitality packages charging anywhere from £400+ for a match ticket and a dining experience. There is a market for this stuff.

The tickets are bought by sponsors and companies. Basically, the crowd is not made up of fans at these tournaments.

The global game is now too big for small stadia. Theres too many people with too much money willing to pay for these tickets. The average man and woman are just getting totally priced out. Unfortunately theres not much we can do about it. For a World Cup final, you probably have at least 500k people willing to pay at least 500e for a match ticket, in a stadium that probably only holds 70k people. Supply vs Demand n all that

Multi tiered pricing is nothing unusual. If you want a comfortable seat on the half way line put your hand in your pocket. I’m fairly sure there will be some type of hospitality attached to those seats, VIP entrances etc. The major price gouging goes on outside the stadium with hotel prices, air fares etc

How do you think UEFA makes money. The €2000 tickets will be sold to corporations. They would pay €5000, so it just depends on how many of these tickets there are. If there are over 15% of those tickets, then it becomes an issue.

Why does a top product have to be this expensive. We should be able to expect top football and it not cost a salary. But the amount of money that we pay goes to players salaries not availability and product building. So they charge even money. They need to redistribute the money available not charge more

A first class to New York will cost around £3k, some people way pay that. Those that can’t choose to forgo certain luxuries in economy and spend like £500. Don’t really see an issue here

It’s not the working man’s game anymore. Sad, very sad. FIFA and uefa forgot who made football and who still makes it today

I think Simon is right. I'm saying this not as a well-off person 😅

Madness.

every events have prime seats they arent for everyone nor do they comprise majority of the seats, this is a nothing burger. We all like to rage over everything and the media feeds into this

Simon Jordan talks a good ownership model...then sends Crystal Palace near administration! 🤔

Simon's at it again. When it comes to the peasants its always down to "if its too expensive dont buy it" but when it comes to his wealthy cohorts they have no autonomy and are "forced" to spend money they cant afford.

I dunno bout anyone else, but Jim White & the way he questions things is really starting to piss me off😂 It’s so blatantly obvious he doesn’t agree with 95% of what he’s actually saying, he says it to get a reaction out of Simon. Tbf tho, least he’s consistent from his Sky days!

You could hear a pin drop, then Jim swiftly moved onto to another point. Why neither of you replied to Danny's half stadium point? Or would that be deemed a no-no to criticising Doha's WC?

Why call rich people, who aford to pay €2000 for the ticket and don't want to sit next to arrogant ex footballer, idiots??

As soon as Simon started speaking about pyramid schemes I zoned out tbh. Validates nothing

I think that the basic principle that Saudi Arabia established is to inspire governments in leagues outside Europe. The budget that any country can use in developing its league is very small from its general budget. Imagine, for example, that the Brazilian government puts 3-4 billion, and Argentina, Mexico, and other leagues close to this amount in purchasing players. And infrastructure development? I think during 3-5 there will be no coverage of the European League, in addition to the economic crisis that Europe is going through and the rise in inflation, which consequently increases taxes, and thus investors flee to other leagues. I think you will cry a lot in Europe

Doesn't matter what people are paying... It is a complete rip off... Disgusting Football is not particularly entertaining now but what angers me is that these people are happy to rip off the public... nothing sporting about football from top to bottom... and definitely not for the working class...

Jim's hostility in this instance is somewhat contradictory given that overcharging the rich so to subsidise the relatively poor would be entirely consistent with the socialist views he typically espouses.

Courage Of Your Convictions ("COYC").

Someone teach Jim what supply & demand is. I'm no rich guy, but I ACCEPT certain things will increase in price as there's excess demand for them. Plus inflation. Using the "it's not fair" argument is futile. The harsh reality is people will pay it. Then the next Euros will go up in price too

You can’t hammer football with messages of ‘respect’ and gestures on and off the pitch , and not be critical of this. Anyone who watches live football will know about the sectarianism that fuels this. Perhaps home nations games should ditch the national anthem for other anthems, giving all fans a voice. Everybody love Celtic v United games at Ild Trafford but they were uncomfortable and raw in a way we ( apparently) no longer want in football , in life.

Murphy hasn’t a clue what he’s talking about….just spouting outrage without knowing any facts…the typical IQ level of a former footballer
