(Dutch time)

Because the Turkish competition starts one week earlier the club Galatasaray can't be on the tournament.

Now Inter is on the tournament..

freaking Inter ...

I won't go to the tournament for two reasons...because I'm on holiday those days. the second reason is I think the tickets are way to expensive for a friendly match.
For one day I'm in total at least 90 Euro more poor

I think this is to much so I only went 1 day to the tournament...for my birthday
We beat Inter in the last minute by a goal from wamberto in extra time.
that was the 3-0 victory which was enough for Ajax to win the title for the third time in a row

hehe I guess it's 90 euro for you because you live far away from Amsterdam?

Cause when I went one day.. I payed 25 euro to see two games.. And we went by car.. thats about 40 minutes..

So it's not for everyone that expensive

But still I don't go either.. Too many 'day'-people like we call that here.. The dads with kids who normally don't go to games.. It's fun for them, but I'll watch it at home..

Because I have to travel 2,5 hours by train it makes it even more expensive.
but if I'm correct 1 ticket for one day costs about 50 Euro last year. I'm not willing to pay that for some friendly games.
When I'm home, Ill watch it at home. If not, then I don't think its a very big deal

You payed for the most expensive places then.. I payed 25 euro for 2 games.. Now the cheapest are 27 euro for 2 games.. and the most expensive 55 euro for 2 games..

Still a lot of money for some friendly games.. But for kids it's great to see those big clubs..

Yes indeed...for kids it is nice, but for me it isn't worth paying so much. Besides that I saw a lot of big clubs allready
