What does poor ticket sales mean?
Were they expecting a sell out and only sold half? Or are we talking a few thousand sold?
Its basic economics I guess the outgoings to pay both teams, staff on the night and returfing the pitch would all need to be covered before they can even look at making a profit.
Seems they have made a meal of their earning projections.
Maybe they seen how many we took to Germany and thought we would take thousands along with North American bears going too.
I looked at going but like many it’s getting to the end of the year and holidays didn’t make it possible for me with 3 days plus the weekend needed to head over.
Not sure why Benfica didn’t just hold the game in their own stadium, we would have taken thousands to Lisbon, easier to get to and fewer days needed holiday wise.
