A Few little interesting points...

That i learnt from todays tour -
  • A season ticket behind the goal, costs 200 euros (roughly £140)
  • Ajax don't own the stadium, they rent it as they could not afford it so it was paid for by people buying seats, boxes (SkyBoxes as they call them) or corporations pledging millions.
  • It takes 12 minutes to close the roof
  • When built 11 years ago it was the first stadium to have a retractable roof
  • Police are playing a gig there in September and are having to pay for the pitch to be relaid
  • The total costs for building were 120million euros
  • The away fans are encased in a bullet proof glass sectio which can be completely fenced of up to the ceiling.
  • On the top tier (which is steeper) if you fall you will only fall down 4 rows, they know this via testing it

Bit boring i know...but still...

200 bloody euros for a season ticket!
