Are there sensible West Indians who will pay USD 75.00 and more to watch these jokers and pokers play 1 day cricket?

Price of Tickets for 1 Day Match in Bim Tomorrow
In reply to Headley
Chris Rock tickets cost far more and he performs for an hour. We get to watch our jokers for the whole day.
Sounds like quite a deal.
In reply to Headley
With the Bajans and friends scheduled to perform, that $75 price tag should be no hindrance to the filling up of the ground by hometown fans.
In reply to Headley
From Monday the people was selling tickets at BDS$75.00, the people 65 years and older got tickets free, (which is the norm in Barbados), if yuh want to go, yuh buy de ticket, simple......man wunna too like to mek much ado about nutten..........
In reply to nick2020
Yuh have a point. I stand corrected. Some men may be willing to pay BDS 75.00 for a mere 5 minute performance.
In reply to Drapsey
I could hear Fuzzy and Dem coming.
In reply to cherri
Thank yuh for the information. Next time I will enquire earlier. Plus, every day I am one day closer to the seniors discount.
For USD 75.00 I could get season tickets to watch world class athletes perform Mar 28 to Apr 4 at Champs. I might even get 2 patty and some ital soup and a red stripe.
In reply to Headley
Bajans will pay anything to watch the Englishmen perform. This price tag has nothing to do with the WI jokers...

rass yuh betta run
In reply to Headley
that's the same thing Grave was talking about the price of tickets, and the times of matches
makes no sense
it seems like the guys who were responsible for this never really cared about locals attending the game.
That price is insane for the Caribbean. I live in NY and wont pay that to go watch any international cricket team play here. (maybe i am just cheap)
In reply to Headley
the payers are English people, ALL the locals get free tickets!
In reply to Headley
I bet you the tickets for the 50 overs matches between Pakistan and the west indies in Guyana next month will be significantly cheaper.

dats coz jagdeo stole all de money
dem just throw he rass in jail .
see back room
hey snoopy trying to bail he out .
as usual Bajans catering for the English people around them
Not sure what all the fuss is about. If the market will bear the cost of a US$75 ticket, then so be it.
Either pay to go or not. Tomorrow's attendance will illustrate whether the ticket cost was justified or not. Just like everywhere else.
Allyuh jes want to chat yes.
In reply to imusic
Not really ... the state of the series is a major determinant regarding attendance. With your team two matches down in a 3-matches series fans wouldn't be jumping the lines to get the best seats.....
In reply to Kay
Maybe. Maybe not.
Tomorrow's attendance will provide the answer
In reply to Kay
the core supporters would have made a decision long ago to attend the game and it would not be based on the current balance of the series! No doubt a tightly contested series would generate more interest.
In reply to imusic
So what's the answer?
It looks like an England home match.
In reply to Headley
That's because half of the stand will be bought by english fans, it simple mathematics and brilliance.
7,000 english men at US$75 = $525,000
If you sell 15,000 fans at US$20 = $300,000
Go figure son.
In reply to jen
so what about the idea of home advantage?
In reply to camos
at the expense of US$225k? lol, ask yoself that question again if you was in that position.

While benching their own brothers at the airport, classical neo-colonialism still in the minds of some of our people!
In reply to Slipfeeler
oh gord
dem bajes coming for you man
watch out for
lord nelson fuzzy and beachbwoy che .
In reply to Slipfeeler
Lots of empty seats. Yesterday they should have slashed prices to about US $20. If they really cared about local fans.
In reply to mikesiva
You mean not even the bajans of a certain hue bothered to turn up to support their "home" team?
In reply to Priapus
To be fair would you pay US $75 to watch your team play this crap that we just watched?
For US $20 maybe but not for US $75.
The T20 between Pakistan and West Indies starts at US$20 in Barbados....
The ODIs in Guyana are priced between US$10 and US$20.
Now, that's value for money...not like the England games, which sought to price locals out of the matches.
