Kylian Mbappe euphoria is raging in Madrid as tickets for his presentation at the Bernabeu have sold out and a few have been put on sale for €200.
The excitement in Madrid has reached fever pitch ahead of Mbappe’s presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, scheduled for Tuesday. Initially, Real Madrid made the tickets available to club members for free, but the high demand has led many members to exploit the situation by reselling their tickets at exorbitant prices.
Resale prices range from €30 to €200, depending on the seat location, leaving many fans eager to attend the event feeling frustrated and cheated. The online queue for tickets has seen a massive response, with over 100,000 fans vying for the chance to attend Mbappé’s presentation. This number far exceeds the capacity of the Santiago Bernabeu, which is around 85,000 people.
Tickets for 200€
The resale of presentation tickets has sparked outrage among Real Madrid fans, with many fans taking to social media to voice their displeasure.
” Tickets for Mbappé’s presentation are on sale and in a few hours, the members (who won’t even go) have almost sold everything and are reselling them at exorbitant prices. Going to the Bernabéu for normal people is not a luxury, it is simply impossible”lamented one fan on Twitter (according to Vozpopuli).
Another added: “ It is a disgrace to have members who behave like this. The club must find and expel those who put the tickets on sale.”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s presentation as a Real Madrid player attracted around 80,000 fans to the Bernabéu, which remains the record attendance for a player presentation. However, that record could be broken next Tuesday, given the frenzy surrounding Mbappé’s signing. The French superstar is already living up to his ‘Galactico’ status as demand for his number 9 shirt has reached new heights, forcing Real to issue an official statement announcing a “delivery delay of up to 4-6 additional weeks”.
