Reduced to £38 for ST holders.

Ridiculous price even if it is barca.
Should only be that kind of price if it was a CL/EL final or Semi final.

 

Tbf, it's one glamour game as part of a glamour competition. Isn't there some kind of package you can get with a discount if you buy, say at least three tickets for these games?

Glad im not going to that, was going to book then decided not to. Our fans will be getting the pish ripped out them, paying those prices and I bet Barcelona will be getting paid about £1million for the game and we'll only be getting about £500k yet it will be mostly our fans there.

Will also be to see a wee diddy Barcelona B team as Pique, Alba, Mascherano, Rakitic, Iniesta, Neymar, Messi, Suarez etc will all either be playing at the EUROs or Copa America and probably not be there.

 

Euros and Copa America finish 2 weeks before the first match against Leicester at latest so will give them a couple of weeks rest

 

Barcelona will probably use their last friendly and the 2 Supercopa games for their players who were on International duty though, us playing them is their first friendly.

Last season Bravo, Mascherano, Neymar and Messi who were at Copa America only played in their last friendly of pre-season.

The World Cup season the year before again, only players from teams who were knocked out in the Group Stages played their early pre-season games, ones who made the later stages only played in the last friendly.

So most likely any Barcelona players who get through the Groups of the Euros or Copa America won't be there.

 

That's what I was just thinking. The chances of rolling into Dublin and paying nearly £50 for a match ticket, not to mention travel, food and accommodation to watch us play a B team are too high to make it worth the risk.

 

Aye, the match doesn't really matter anyway most people myself included would only go for the trip and few days in Dublin, the match would only be the excuse and a sideshow but friendlies are dire and it'd just make it all the worse that it's mostly back-up players for Barcelona who are strolling about at snails pace passing the time.

Dublin is quite expensive too, I was going to go for 4/5 days but for the price it'd have cost I could probably go to 2 European away games where the match will matter and it's just better for not that much more.

 

When do the tickets for the Leicester game come out? Fancy going to that if it's not too pricey.

 

And some of them will be at the Olympics as well. Neymar will 100% be there.

I don't think Messi and Mascherano are going.

 

Hopefully the ticket price will put folk off and they can instead use their days off work and money to go to a European qualifer, help prop up the paltry numbers we usually take to these games.

 

Aye i fancy going to the Leicester game at Parkhead.
