A vote is hard to come by! Western media: The highest second-hand ticket price in the National Derby has reached 11,000 euros
6686 Sports October 25th This weekend, the highlight of Spanish football - the El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be staged at the Santiago Bernabeu. This much-anticipated matchup not only attracted the attention of fans around the world, but also caused ticket prices to skyrocket on the second-hand market. According to "Daily Sports", the cheapest scalper ticket is close to 900 euros, while the VIP ticket has even been sold to a sky-high price of more than 11,000 euros!
Real Madrid officials sell tickets for this game through the club’s official website. For non-member fans, general ticket prices range from 135 euros to 465 euros, while members can enjoy a 20% discount. However, ordinary tickets in all areas as well as high-end tickets such as VIP boxes and VIP experience have already been sold out.
Currently, there is no legal way to purchase tickets for this game. This huge gap between supply and demand directly gave rise to crazy speculation in the underground ticketing market.
Although ticket reselling is illegal in Spain, this phenomenon has been banned repeatedly in major matches, especially in key games where Real Madrid or Barcelona play.
On second-hand trading platforms, obscure advertisements similar to "Selling a BIC ballpoint pen, with a national derby ticket, priced at 1,000 euros" are emerging one after another in an attempt to circumvent platform supervision. In addition, there are also more direct offers: clearly marked prices and openly sold.
According to the current market conditions: the price of the lowest-end scalper tickets (usually located in high areas or corners with poor visibility) is close to 900 euros; the price of the top-level VIP areas and VIP experience packages exceeds 9,000 euros, and some are even as high as more than 11,000 euros. These sky-high price "packages" usually include courtside seats, catering services, souvenirs and other additional experiences, but their prices are far beyond the affordability of most ordinary fans.
It is important to remind you that purchasing tickets through unofficial channels is not only illegal, but also carries huge risks. Real Madrid officials have issued a clear warning: "The club will not be responsible for any problems caused by purchasing tickets through unofficial channels, nor will it provide any assistance."
