What's the most you've splashed out on a fitba match?

[iwasthere1972]

Reading the Scotland v England thread and it was mentioned about the cost of a ticket. Money well spent if we win of course.

The question is as it says on the tin. I'm talking about match ticket so don't include flights and all your bevvy.

Me? £36 and that was over twenty years ago for Euro96 at Villa Park when I went to see Scotland v Switzerland. We won 1-0 that night and I was starting to plan my visit to Anfield until England let the Netherlands score a late goal. :agree:

[My_Wife_Camille]

£125 for me

[iwasthere1972]

£125 for me

Does that include the £90 mobile phone bill to get through to Ticketmaster? :greengrin

A bit of a stretch here but I bought a season ticket for the 2012/13 season just so I could get a 5-1 final ticket. I worked Saturdays so couldn't make most games. I ended up changing my job a few months later so managed to use it thankfully but at the time I was paying for just the chance to make the final.

Not the dearest but interesting one. In Madrid during a European tie v CSKA Moscow, my wife and I were going to watch it in a pub but went up to the stadium in the afternoon for a look. Touts were trying to sell me tickets for silly prices but at the stadium booth I enquirer about tickets. "What do you want to pay?" I was asked. He scribbled down a range of prices from 12 to 100 euros. We got really great seats for 20 euros each.

Can't remember the exact amount but the game against Leeds in 74 was significantly more than normal ticket prices. If it was a bob on a Saturday these games usually a bit more than double. Leeds game was about 10 bob/50p. Still the biggest crowd I've ever been in at ER

[Smartie]

The last time I wasn't in the Scotland supporters club I still managed to get to all of the games but couldn't get a ticket for the crunch game at Hampden vs Italy.

I eventually got hold of one for £200 from a guy off the TAMB.

from that point on it was inevitable that we'd lose a goal after seconds then go on to lose the game.

But I'd invested a lot into that campaign and couldn't miss out at that point.

[portyhibernian]

Bought two tickets for Arsenal v Tottenham at the Emirates about 5 years ago at £75 each. Pricey but was a great game!

[easty]

£56 for my ticket for the Bradford v Millwall play off final the other week back.

Standard of football was horrendous.

1973. I was there that night and spot on 50p.

[hibeg]

£120 Scotland v Morocco World Cup 98. What a let down ! :rolleyes:

[HH81]

86 quid for Carling cup final Birmingham v arsenal. Half way line seats at Wembley.

£60 for Man U v Liverpool. Completely spur off the moment as i was a shopping centre and could see OT so thought id chance it. Bit pricey for but worth it. 3~0 united, Liverpool were murder and Sodje looked a better prospect than Super Mario that day. Middle tier SAF stand right at half way line.

I remember that coz my old-man was kicking-up ****** when he got home with our tickets - I was only 12/13 at the time and the git took money from my paper-round each week until he got his money back !

I still hate Schiller, the Austrian-ref for that game - there was NO WAY Alan Gordon was off-side with his headed goal that night, the ball was deflected of a Leeds-player to him, ffs !

[MartinfaePorty]

1,000 French Francs (roughly £110) for Scotland v Norway at the World Cup 1998. The game was played at Bordeaux which had one of the smallest capacities c.30k. Mate got a ticket by chance soon after we went down from Paris, but I ended up going to the ground 3 hours early before having to wave bundles of Francs at French folk as they parked their cars. I think the guy I bought it from thought he'd scored big time until a hoard of Scotsmen saw the transaction and ran over to ask if he had any more to sell! Ended up sitting next to a compete nob from England who kept boasting he'd only paid £15. Surprisingly he disappeared when me and a boy from Airdrie started bouncing on everyone around us when Burley equalised.

It was only 50p. How many papers did you deliver in a week? 3?

Your old man probably lifted you over anyway. :greengrin

[nellio]

With Cardiff FA cup final was 85, league cup final was 70 and playoff final was 60 I think. Lost all of them!

Paid 60 for the NHL.

Paid 90 for the NFL before in London and 125 dollars for the NFL in New York. They are all face value.

Wales rugby 75 quid a few times.

Spent a fortune over the years.

[H18 SFR]

£150 for this season's game at the PBS.

[banarc7062]

£500.00 for me and my grandson to last year's league cup final. Well worth it.....except the result GGTTH

[Ringothedog]

£200 for the second leg of the playoff against Engerlund at Wembley in 1999.

[MKHIBEE]

I paid 200 euros for myself and 3 young sons to,watch Nantes v Lyon. No kids prices, 50 euros each.

[johnbc70]

£330 for Category 1 tickets to the 2015 Champions League Final in Berlin , and last year about £300 for the Euro 2016 final in Paris.

I love big game atmospheres where the best players in the world are playing.

A World Cup final is on my list but looks like it will be 2026 as don't fancy Russia or Qatar.

[Phil MaGlass]

Ah think most ah paid wis 60 odd quid, but I always huv tae add flights, taxis and hotels/ b&b,s for every Hibs or Scotland game I attend. Sometimes flights are over 200 smackers and that wis fir games against the likes ay QoTS ffs.

[Caversham Green]

£80 a couple of weeks ago for the richest (and dullest) game in the world. A grand day out spoilt by having to watch the football.

[ShinyFantastic]

£150 for a ticket in the away end at WBA v Chelsea...Worth it to see the league being won.

[Baader]

100 quid for the opening game of Euro 2012 in Warsaw.

Used to live in Highbury and the last season Arsenal played there I tried to go. But tickets were like gold dust so had to go to touts (there were always loads outside the tube station.) Best price I got with about 3 matches left to play there was for a game v Villa and it was £150. Was tempted but it was 15 minutes after kick off0and he flatly refused to lower the price so in the end told him to stick it.

[Captain Trips]

About £120 for 2 tickets for Champions League Milan derby. Game got abandoned when fireworks etc hit Dida. Just happened to be on a trip to Milan and thought why not.

[Thegreenside]

£150 for this season's game at the PBS.

Anyone that charges a fellow hibs man that is a joke

[GreenLake]

€600 for a seat in the player zone at Barcelona vs Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

[Steve-O]

Paid just shy of £100 to go to Scotland v England (joined SSC to guarantee a ticket). So close to being well worth it!

[Hermit Crab]

£100 for a ticket in the city end at old trafford.

[jacomo]

£150 iirc for a ticket to the 2012 SC Final.

And I was only there for 75 minutes of it. :grr:

If overall match day costs are included, I once flew up from London for a regular league game v Celtc.

Train delays meant I missed original flight by 2 minutes so paid £50 to get next available flight. To Prestwick. Missed train by 30 seconds so got taxi to Glasgow. Jumped on train just as it was leaving and paid penalty fair at Waverley. Taxi to ER. Arrived 20 mins into the match, walked up stairs into West Stand... and Celtc scored. Ended up 3 nil.

Not the best weekend!

[Big_Franck]

Most I've paid is £150 for a ticket for Boca Juniors at the Bombonera in the semi final of the Copa Libertadores. Worth every penny.

[Bishop Hibee]

£56 for the recent friendly v England at Celtc Park. Good seats in the upper Stand front row on the half way line but still brutal for a friendly. Think my ticket for yesterday's game was similar but I've got a season ticket so not sure.

[Biggie]

£200 x 2 for hospitality in the Scottish Cup Final 2013 (I think) vs Celtic.....ouch

[Callum_62]

£200 x 2 for Scottish cup final hospitality 2016

I tried much the same thing but didn't make it to that game despite waving 1500 FF under the noses of several bemused French people. Great night in Bordeaux of TA/Norg revelry though.
