https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsi ... 57&id=1184Football fans were shocked yesterday when they saw the news that Spanish giants Real Madrid were coming to the south coast to face Bournemouth in a pre-season friendly.But the joy felt by many Cherries fans became short-lived when seeing what they have to pay to get in, with adult tickets priced at a whopping £60 for non-season ticket holders.It is rumoured that a fee of around £1 million will be paid to the La Liga club so the newly promoted Championship side are looking to recoup some of the fee but many football fans and journalists have taken to Twitter to vent their feelings at the extortionate price.@Potter_Hoppo said: “Bournemouth can’t be doing it to attract new fans, £60 to watch Real Madrid play there once?”And many agreed with @RyanLea13 saying: “Bournemouth charging their fans £60 to watch them play Real Madrid in a friendly, that’s disgusting!” while @iamDipakPatel tweeted: “It’s a complete joke that #Bournemouth FC are charging fans £60 to watch Real Madrid in a pre-season friendly #Robbery”Many were unconvinced by the statement by chairman Eddie Mitchell that this match is a “gift” to the fans with @standamf saying: “£55/£60 for a friendly v Real Madrid Reserves as a ‘thank you’ to the fans. Hats off to Bournemouth, its rare a club gets it so wrong.”Dear Bournemouth you are kidding yourself if you think £60 is an acceptable ticket price for a friendly – even if it is Real #moneygrab - @RobynTalkSPORT@Mattyp_Glovex agreed: “Bournemouth stating that the pre-season friendly against Madrid is a treat to the fans.. at £60 a ticket I’m sure they think it’s a real treat..”Journalists were also shocked with @ricktimes tweeting: “£60 to watch Madrid play Bournemouth. That’s half a left-back in real money.”Crystal Palace media man @LukeTugby commented: “AFC Bournemouth charging £60 a ticket for friendly against Real Madrid, which will, in reality, probably be Real Madrid reserves. Rip off.”@MatthewJRudd made reference to the tough times Bournemouth have gone through after nearly falling out of the football league after going into administration five years ago, tweeting: “Paying £60 to watch an AFC Bournemouth match is interesting, given that a few years ago you could pay £60 and buy AFC Bournemouth.”Loyal Cherries supporter @A_LloydWilliams summed up the mood no doubt felt by a lot of south coast supporters: “AFC Bournemouth are playing Real Madrid but it’s £60 to get in! No chance! #AFCB”The game is scheduled for Sunday 21 July.
