bob_the_builder Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 According to the Sunday Mail we'll be taking on Brazil in a 'glamour friendly' in London.

Rhubarb Mess Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 aye I can see it being a costly weekend but hopefully the tickets will be reasonably priced I think the opposite will be the case. I'm expected near £50 quid or somethimg like that, but the travel down and if staying for say 1 night will be cheap enough. And carry outs are the same in London as they are here. Its a strange one, I can't see why we can't play Brazil at Hampden. We are a MEAN diddy team!!! SITTING ON THE FENCE!!! m1874 Blog<<<..V..>>>Ernies Blog GMST make your own mind up. "Hey!!!

Its a strange one, I can't see why we can't play Brazil at Hampden. I think it would probably be something to do with the CBF's (Brazilian Federation's) contract with Nike- if it's played in London, expect the Emirates Stadium to be the likely venue, as has been the case in Brazil games with Eire and Argentina in recent years. No coincidence that Arsenal are also sponsored by Nike, although I'm sure I also recall Brazil playing Wales at White Hart Lane (Spurs are sponsored by Puma) so perhaps my theory's just bullshit.

They'd struggle to fill Hampden at those prices for a friendly, how many went to the Argentina game? here today, gone to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd struggle to fill Hampden at those prices for a friendly, how many went to the Argentina game? Thats the thing though, its reported that Brazil charge £1m for appearance and I don't think the organisers will give a fig about us, they know we will travel to that in numbers, grumble about the price, but pay it anyway. Over a barrel as they say. We are a MEAN diddy team!!! SITTING ON THE FENCE!!! m1874 Blog<<<..V..>>>Ernies Blog GMST make your own mind up. "Hey!!!

Over a barrel as they say. I dont think its a case of Scotland getting a game against Brazil and paying for it - is it not more of a home game for Brazil for their European based players? If it was at Hampden then there would be a definate appearance fee and high prices but as far as I know Scotland have been invited and haven't asked for this. Hopefully the costs are low as I would like to go to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just reckon the prices will not be kept low to suit us, they will charge what they charge no matter what our opinion is. Anyway, the polis have still to be asked. We are a MEAN diddy team!!!

Surely they wont charge massive prices for a Scotland game in England that not many people will be interested in though? Brazil aren't the big draw they once were.

The sheer amount of Scots down south and in particular the London area should resulkt in a very healthy attendance if you consider how many would travel from up here. We are a MEAN diddy team!!!

Not enough to fill an 80000 seater stadium though especially from looking at the attendances from the last few friendlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but in that may lie the problem. If the organisers think they can attract 20k+ Scots to the game, no matter what they charge, they will do it to offset the empty seats.

Guest se65an Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 A bus to this might be do-able. If they let us know on time. Hope its not £50 a ticket, way over the top, even £35 if a bit OTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xj2006 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'd pay £40 to see Brazil v Scotland The Emirates is the best stadium I have ever been in as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbellaton Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 The Brazil v Italy friendly at the Emirates in 2009, ticket prices started at £35. For Brazil v RoI last March, tickets started from £37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
