Racist. Anyhoo, yeah, first few rounds generally don't sell out anyhow, but considering the problems in Brazil I'm surprised they didnt just give tickets away as a gesture to try and appease the masses.
I posted a thread on the amount of empty seats at the spain vs holland game tonight and it seams to have been deleted .
So this Costa Rica Uruguay game, the stadium has only 54,000 seats. There have to be 10,000 empty seats in the stadium. They just announced that attendance is 59,000.
40 hours at minimum wage in England is £252. We had prices given as the reason cup games at £15 and £20 were not sold out. 40 hours at minimum wage in Brazil is £27. Tickets for first set of games £27 up to £48. How many on here would pay up to 2 weeks wages for a game between two countries they have no connection with which is live on TV?
