Probably not. I imagine we're getting paid a fee to take part, and all profits will go to the promoter. I bet they're banking on fans thinking it's us hosting the match and our fans getting behind it though

£1 to use my own ink on my printer.... I'm in
Unlikely, I'm entirely guessing here but it's more likely we'd get a flat appearance fee.
It's too rich for me, but tbh as a ST holder I doubt I'd have gone if it were free entry, have to limit my "events" with a young family...
This a ghastly fixture.
A MUST win, no less.
Disgusting prices - Not for me, which is a real shame as probably would have gone at reasonable pricing. I think a tenner would have a win-win for a big crowd and a healthy mob of fans/tourists buying expensive beers and hot dogs?
When a competitive fixture against Gent is £5, noone can justify paying that. Champions League games will also be cheaper.
I think we have to be a bit careful about criticizing the club though - we're seeing this as a 'home' fixture when really it's not. This is exhibition nonsense. We don't own Wembley and as mentioned the club didn't set these prices. Some may remember the Wembley Cup a few years back? We played Barcelona (a very weakened Barcelona) and Celtic in a three day tournament - I recall that being expensive, probably a similar set-up.
Also noticed it is on Premier Sport TV - if anyone actually has that??!

I hope it's a useful run-out for the team but I'm not going to watch it. You can't even buy tickets through our website. You have to register for another one. It's almost as if this is an experiment to see how unappealing they can make a football match... and still make a healthy profit from the attendance.
They can get fucked.
I don't care how involved the club appear to, to let your own fans be charged nearly 50 quid for a friendly is a liberty.
Absolute joke.

To be fair the other option is not to play a home friendly at all, and I expect Poch was keen to have one at Wembley. We don't have the right to just organise a game there ourselves and we can't tell a third party who've effectively hired out the ground and invited us to take part what they're allowed to charge. I just think they've made a mess of it and would make more money with cheaper prices, but we'll see.
It's not even 40 quid.
But don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant.
It's 45 quid lower tier with 4.50 booking fee.
If you're happy with that then fair enough.
I know it's not the same, but that's nearly the exact price I paid for the last NLD at the Lane.
Can't help but feel insulted, club involvement or not.
Yep bring the strippers out at pre season friendlies
40 quid plus for a bloody friendly! What a piss take
Surely the closer it gets and the realisation dawns of a 25% filled Wembley the prices will plummet?
These prices are absurd.

Was £20 for Park Lane lower.
I was in the Upper East, and I think I paid at least £60 for a pair. Few years ago now mind
