Tickets for the friendly between English Premier League giants Liverpool and Manchester United in Bangkok in July will be on sale tomorrow, organisers said on Thursday.
Tickets are priced at 5,000-25,000 baht and will be available at Thai Ticket Major outlets or www.thaiticketmajor.com. Each person can only buy a maximum of four tickets.
Many ordinary Thai fans have complained of being priced out of seeing their heroes play in the flesh.
The exhibition game, dubbed the Match Bangkok Century Cup 2022, will take place at Rajamangala National Stadium on July 12 at 8pm.
Premier League teams resume lucrative pre-season tours which stopped when Covid hit.
After the clash in the Thai capital, United will fly to Australia for two more friendlies, including a clash with Crystal Palace, at the 100,000-capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Before the pandemic shut down overseas tours, usually to Asia and the United States, they were a regular money-spinner for Premier League sides -- even if managers don't like the travel, hot weather and sometimes questionable pitches.
"It will be the same players as you see now with a few additions if transfer deals happen," said former United striker Andy Cole at a press conference yesterday. "I'm not sure it will be played like a pre-season friendly."
A match between the two teams has been dubbed the "Red War" by Thai media and fans.
Vinij Lertratanachai, chief executive officer of Fresh Air Festival, which is organising the match, said the stadium would get a "makeover" to meet the clubs' standards.
Organisers hope to recreate an English matchday atmosphere on Thai soil.
