    Hearing that its not even going to be a full strength team now.

    If it was us I'd definitely pay it though.

    Don't get me wrong it's a fecking rip off, but you'll never see that fixture again.

    No way would I pay that for a friendly regardless of opposition. I go to watch Barnsley.

    I wouldn't pay £60 to watch a football match, regardless of who the opposition where. I'm a Barnsley fan so I go to watch Barnsley, couldn't give a toss about the opposition, I want us to beat them.

    There's no way on earth I'd pay that for a friendly. I'd have to have a long hard think before paying that if we were playing Real Madrid in the Champions League.

    I wouldn't pay to watch a friendly full stop, be it a quid or sixty...Total waste of space from a spectator's point of view.

    (I would still pay if Barnsley played against Real Madrid though...)

    I'd pay it.

    End of the day Madrid are a genuinely huge, huge team that we'll never play again in my lifetime.

    It's all money to the club and the atmosphere inside the ground and town would be ridiculous.

    To miss something like that would be a bit daft, IMHO like.

    Complete rip off regardless of the opposition and more so that it is a friendly. Football is taking the pi55.

    No chance would I pay that for a friendly.

    Another prime example of football fleecing the fans. Disgusting attempt at exploitation by Bournemouth, in my view.

    Thinking about t though, I would be properly gutted if tarn charged that for a match.

    Disheartening is the word I'd use.
