exorbitant

an alternate shot of BC Place stadium, where some of this summer's world cup matches will be played...attending one or two was tempting, but exorbitant ticket prices preclude that

for instance for New Zealand vs Egypt on June 21st, the cheapest seat is $568
for Canada vs Switzerland on June 24th the cheapest seat high up costs $930, and down at field level as much as $11,901 dollars...this for two hours entertainment!!

Nikon D90
Nikkor 18-200mm - 1.3s f/8.0 at 29.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Wow, those are steep ticket prices. Much more cost effective to watch or listen on TV or radio and hang out and take pics of the stadium.

A magnificent stadium, it looks like a royal crown with tiny lights that sparkle like diamonds! V

Much easier to watch from the comfort of home...

Football (and some other sports) together with Drugs are the biggest businesses on this planet! V

A fine shot, but I don't have that kind of money!
Bill Miller14-Feb-2026 04:53
Wow, I think I would rather buy a Leica for that money :)

A beautiful venue. I would rather watch it on the television.

Fantastic night shot, David! I wouldn't pay those kinds of prices either. V

Those prices are crazy. Will the matches be broadcast on television, as an alternative?
Julie Oldfield13-Feb-2026 20:29
It looks very festive. But the prices are outrageous.
Alain Boussac13-Feb-2026 20:27
Could the fact that this stadium looks like a royal crown explain such prices ? Nice night shot in any case...V.
