Boca – Racing, as in the Champions League: an average family will pay between $ 20,000 and $ 35,000 to attend the semifinals of the Argentine Professional League Cup

No doubt, the Boca and Racing this Saturday for the semi -finals of the Cup of the Professional League of Argentine Soccer have the Champions League level. Neither Sebastián Battaglia and Fernando Gago (two coaches who made their first weapons) nor Klopp and Guardiola, but fans who can attend Lanús stadium on Saturday to see their teams will pay a hefty amount, which as if they witnessed the “kill-kill” a few days ago in Manchester and Madrid. Too much? Note: popular attendees at Maroon Fortress (where the game will be held) sold out for $ 3,500 and the stalls more than doubled: $ 7,500. Looks like a lot … and just entering

The organization chose Ciudad de Lanús Stadium for the match, and it seemed very small. Boca and Racing received only 16,500 tickets each. The irony is that the Argentinos and Tigre, who will star in another semi, received more seats (18,000) than were given to two of the most popular clubs with the highest ticket sales in Argentina.

Another paradox: beyond the high price, fans destroyed the virtual ticket office and no seats left for the Saturday classic. And, apparently, it will be entered along with the DNI and the established system prevents resale. A good thing for costs not to continue to rise. That will happen this classic has become a luxury for some. According to the Twitter account @FinanzasArgy, a typical family can spend at least 19,800 pesos on the -luxury- exit to the field. And it doesn’t look wrong.

Let’s crunch the numbers: Four tickets for $ 3,500 will yield a subtotal of $ 14,000 pesos. That can add fuel. Suppose the vehicle leaves from Palermo, Belgrano or Chacarita and it is necessary to add at least $ 1,000 gasoline. Obviously, if a family moves out of the interior, that cost can be multiplied by five. Are the men hungry? Hot soda from the court costs between $ 250 and $ 350. Shall we add chori? $ 350. The combo, for four gives between $ 2,200 and $ 2,800. But, before approaching the smoky chulengo you have to park the car. Y in the last games the famous “rag” asked for $ 500. This can be frustrating, because at these major encounters they always raise the “contribution” so it can cost between $ 700 and $ 1,000. Right now, the cost is between $ 17,700 and $ 19,000 for the whole family.

But that’s the “fuel” option., Of course. It was that, if the group of four who attended the meeting took the stalls, on the move, the number of tickets multiplied and they left home by $ 30,000 below. So, The plan for mom, dad and their children in court can comfortably reach $ 35,000.

I said, the semifinal of the Argentine League Cup between Boca and Racing has the level of the Champions League, although for now that can only be seen in the price, we hope that Boca shows a level similar to that of its resounding victory against Defense and Justice and the Race appears as bright as in the win against Aldosivi. Then, we will have a real game between two of the best teams in Argentina and, those who have tried to accompany their teams, will feel that the money has been well spent.

Furor for Racing – Boca, fly tickets

Despite the high cost, the match generated so much buzz that tickets flew within hours.

And Boca fans said the servers had crashed, so hundreds of thousands were left to desire.
