Fuck FIFA. they've been similarly priced for years so no surprises there for me. Link to comment
MG_Don Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Got to wonder how far they can keep going, that's ridiculous pricing for an event that it will cost the majority a small fortune to attend anyway. Anybody here thinking of going over to Brazil? Link to comment

slippers Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I had thought about it but ended up with a house to do up so the dream is all but over! Couldn't think of a better place to go to a World Cup! Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 the only surprising thing about this is that people are shocked. wages regularly exceed 250k a week.transfer fees above 30m for a player are now the norm. why the fuck wouldnt the world cup ticket prices cost a lot?[in actual fact a few hunner quid to see the WC in brazil, once in a lifetime, isnt that bad considering the, money in the game].

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 If Peterheid v Aberdeen is £12 then those ticket prices for the final are a bargain Link to comment
