Footy tickets.

Footy tickets.

How much would you have to pay to go and see your favourite footy team?

I'm going to a footy game this evening, and I paid £13.5 for my ticket, and they were the most expensive.

The arena I am visiting is the third largest in Sweden - but it's also considered the absolute worst ******* arena in our highest footy league.
It was built 1956 and nothing has changed since.
There's a big runners track around the footy field which places you like one thousand miles away from the action.

That grey thing is the outside of the arena.

From above. The runners track is awful...

The audience is awesome though. Lots of cool tifos, and great atmosphere.

Overall the atmosphere at swedish games are great.
Lots and lots of tifos (or whatever you call them in english?), songs, great crowds, etc etc.

Elfsborg (A swedish team) has just built a new all-awesome arena.
Their ticket prices are exactly the same as at my arena (Malmö).

But I would say the ticket prices in swedish varies between £7 - £27, depending on which arena you are visiting, and where you wanna sit (or stand).
Can't believe I'm still here.

I struggle to get tickets to games. Trying to become a member, on the season ticket waiting list.

If tickets reach going on general sale (so I can buy them) they cost about £55 - £65.

When I went to football matches, 10 years ago, I paid about €6 for a ticket (which is four pounds I guess). It was a standing place, seating places were twice the price.

It was for the Ajax matches in their previous football stadium. I went with two friends and my latin/greek teacher who lived in Amsterdam and could more easily buy the tickets than we. After the game, we went to his house and drank beer, admired his newborn baby, and chatted with his wife.

It was great fun! :)

Today it's not that easy to get tickets, and I think the price had risen. They also have only seating tickets in the new stadium.

I pay about 35 euro's for a ticket at the feyenoord stadium (seat)

sometimes I go to excelsior which is also a club in rotterdam and the prices are between 10 and 20 euro's
I guess that will change to next year now that they promoted to the highest league. :roll:
