Agreed! I would rather see either Brazil or Italy play against Arsenal's Carling Cup team!!! That would be great!! Arsenal U-21 5 Italy 0

Sounds like an expensive night out. They won't fill it unless they do CC prices.

They've filled it or darn near filled it for all the other Brazil games. Tickets start at £37 and it's always been great fun.

I won't attend this as have no interest in it but i'm sure it will be good fun for those that do. 2 top teams, and some colourful, vocal fans.

Agree. People don't have as much spending money as before what with the recession, especially for a football friendly, they'll need to have low[ish] prices. I'll wait and see how much the tickets are.

I don't know, there are loads of Brazilians/Italians in London that will want to go.

Yeah... and loads of neutrals would want to go too, but if they start tickets at £37 plus then they will struggle to sell out imo. We'll see though, hopefully they are a bit cheaper, went Portugal/Brazil but can't remember how much I paid.

Maybe a lot of Gooners would go to see Gilberto - he never really had a proper send off, certainly not the one he deserved. If the match was Brazil Versus and Arsenal select for a testiminoal it would certainly sell out many times over! -How asweome would that match be!

Think the tickets are bit steep but then i paid 30quid for Norn Iron vs San Marino at Windsor Park so 37quid at the Emirates to see those sides doesnt seem that bad.

Admittedly that price for N.I. is dictated by supply and demand given the limited amount of tickets

There would be a large Italian and Brazilan community in London plus neutrals wanting to see a good game and alot happy and interested just to get into the Emirates.

Anyhow, hope it sells well and gets sold to tv - anything to help fill the clubs coffers to pay the mortgage
