I think it will sell out. Put the tickets on general sale after a certain amount of time, and you will get groups of lads down on a jolly up fancying it.
Tho i suppose 55 quid is a lot of money... oh and its a Sunday night??
£55-£60 for a friendly is joke regardless of the opposition!
This should be a reward for fans not a hinderence where they ahve to pay double what they would pay for a competitive league match!
Nevermind Addicks fans you have the MIghty ICT
Assuming it sells out they will still struggle to take £400k net of VAT because of the size of their ground. I'd imagine that Real Madrid could quite easily have asked an appearance fee of £250k.

Seems obvious to me. They want a pre-season test to prepare them adequately for their very tough opening fixture. It's precisely why we are playing Caley.
Heard on Talksport this morning from a local Journo and cherries fan that RM are charging £1M, capacity of 12k at the ground, average of £60 per ticket, shortfall of nearly 250-300k, he said himself he wont attend.
Fans have to resist silly ticket pricing if it's not already too late. To be fair, CAFC are far from the worst offenders.
Anyway ICT will be the right test for us at ten quid a pop or whatever it is. We don't need to pay through the nose for a so-called big club to patronise us. Bring on the sweaties and let's make em welcome at the home of SE London football.

They are having to charge that much to cover Madrid's fee and the other costs is my guess.

I'd pay £55 to watch us play the RM 1st team
Diego Lopez
Carvajal Pepe Varane Coentrao
Xabi Alonso (if fit) Khedira
Di Maria Ozil Ronaldo
Benzema
Subs: Adan, Kaka, Albiol, Isco, Modric, Higuain, Morata, Callejon.
Why wouldn't you want to see that.
Personally I wouldn't pay £55 for 90minutes of football (cup finals excluded), especially a friendly.

Or is it simply a case of Bournemouths rich owners paying the most?

Hope to see a few of you in the Lev for a beer or three
