The Glasgow ground will stage three group games and one last-16 match. There are three grades of prices for each of those games, with £111 the category two price and £45 for the least expensive seats. The same three categories will be charged for the group stage and last-16 games at Wembley. However, the cheapest ticket for a semi-final ticket at Wembley will be £76, with the most expensive ticket for the final at England's home ground set at £841. Tickets for all venues will be available until 12 July. The qualification campaign for Euro 2020 concludes later this year, with Glasgow and London two of the 12 cities hosting finals matches. Comparing a friendly to a competitive tournament to try justify high cost of your so called second team At least when Hearts charged £30 odd for Man City and Everton friendlies I knew it was going to the club and it was money they needed. This glorified friendly neither club needs the money, though I imagine SRU will pocket a nice sum. Only thing I like about this friendly is that I really want Murrayfield to be the national stadium instead of polishing the shite that Hampden is, and this sort of thing will only highlight how much better Murrrayfield is with the superior views (which isn't perfect for football but still well ahead of shallow Hampden), higher capacity etc. Oh and Oriam just up the road instead of opposite side of the country...

Our fans shouldn't be hanging on to the coat tails of some mega bucks franchise team. People moan at the prices for Scottish football yet are happy to be rinsed for a friendly for two foreign teams. Football as a sport is ****ed, it's all big business now. Probably be two reserve teams anyway. Mugs the lot of you. ? The prices for the Euro 2020 games to be hosted at Hampden have been announced today. £45, £111 and £165! Even if one of the games were Spain v Belgium, it's nonsense.

Now they’re a great team but a franchise in a franchise league used by rich men as their train set - I have no interest in them / it. Of course people can spend their money how they please but I find it sad that a global brand like Liverpool finds it necessary to rip off tens of thousands of their pretend fans as well as some of their real fans that will travel north for the game. And sad that folk are gullible enough to pay these prices for what will likely be an uncompetitive, half paced stroll, which will only encourage them to do it again. How many years until the first EPL game is held in Asia, USA or wherever? I do find it strange that so many grown men need the comfort blanket of a big team to pretend they support though, most of them never even having set foot in their stadium. Anyway, enjoy the game but it will likely be shite as most friendlies are. I think the last one I went to was Hearts v Barca and that was just a light kick about. Could be wrong though but think it may have been Barca’s “home “ game and I think the ticket prices were pretty reasonable?

Could be wrong though but think it may have been Barca’s “home “ game and I think the ticket prices were pretty reasonable? Check the ticket prices against Barcelona and you'll find they were not cheap..again relative to prices at the time I fail to see the rip off factor you speak of ..prices are high but you don't have to buy a ticket. These games are managed by private companies who pay the clubs to attend. They take a risk that the crowds will turn up and the clubs get a fee without risk As to the match I tend to agree that they are often uncompetitive but again that is hardly a surprise for those who want to attend Just a small point why make assumptions about people you don't know ?..you have no idea about the need for a comfort blanket or any connections to either club and it simply shows my point about some posters is true. It does smack of fake anger and somehow inferring they are not as morally superior as you....it may be unfair to tar you with that brush but comments like that just tend to infer that point of view Just wrong but you kind of get used to it over the years...I've been to many grounds in England (inc Maine Road) and abroad and it's funny you never get accused of needing a 'comfort blanket' when you tell people you went to see Inter in Milan but mention Liverpool or even other English sides and just wait for the flak The Napoli plastics will be pretty clear of any flak I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
