I would agree with your assessment at the end of the video. I was in Madrid in 2018 when River Plate was playing against Boca Juniors in the Copa libertadores final. From my personal experience, I had similar complaints for like you had. I guess not much has changed.

[@jamesdulany2176]

This just seems slapped together last minute. For a club like Real Madrid to have this be their hospitality package is insulting to the sport. If I wanted that experience, I would have just gone to a bar and had wings before the game and walked to the stadium afterward in a regular seat and it would have probably been similar.

[@yemalad1.]

Hospitality at big clubs is the only way to get tickets for most people. It's just a scam

[@NevaOUTofFashion]

that’s pretty much what the lad in the videos said so cheers great input 👍

[@jerano4kt]

well, he got more value for what he paid . This is Real Madrid . They can easily charge 6 figures if they want to . He also went at the wrong time, the stadium is being renovated, there will be V.I.P box rooms when the stadium is done .

[@Deezyng]

What did he end up pating

[@TheKronicspider]

Out of the 7 options Real Madrid offer in hospitality packages, he makes it sound like they are the best offered when in reality he chose the cheapest of the lot and then shows up with a suit and smug attitude. 😂 He also seems surprised were he was seated eventhough it clearly states where the seats are before you buy the tickets. I bought the VIP package, cost me 690 euros( the price depends on who they are playing) and the lounge was much nicer, also the food and drink selections better, even could choose prime spirits, and was seated 9th row from the pitch, not too far from the center. 2 worlds apart from what he bought. Why would he go through all the trouble of flights, hotel filming, editing, only to fall short because he was a couple hundred cheap to follow through and actually review the best hospitality package in football. Wich he hasn't done if anyone seems to be wondering how this is the best Real Madrid has to offer.

I was at the exact same game as you, also in hospitality but in a different section of the stadium. Luckily my hospitality area was only a 2mins walk from the stadium. I totally agree with you, it is definitely not worth the money. You end up paying 300 euros and all you get is a meal before the game and standard seats up in the clouds. You don’t even get any food or drinks in the stadium whilst watching the game, you have to buy everything.

[@Shduebausb28]

There are lot higher levels of hospitality offered at the Bernabeu. This is one of the cheaper ones.

Real Madrid has the hospitality in the hotel because of the Bernabéu renovations. The hospitalities will be inside the stadium again once the renovations are done and it's going to look ultra modern.

Spanish here. My brother went to Bernabeu for a Spain national team game and he said it's impressive. Anyways, Bernabeu and Madrid fans are a bit cold for Madrid games. We call them "piperos", which means they just sit and eat. If you are looking for more warm stadiums, you should visit mainly north stadiums (Navarra, Basque, Galicia or Asturias). Maybe south (Sevilla or Cádiz) are ok too. We envy English football. Many Spanish people support Barça or Madrid just to win. Sorry you got such a bad experience. We most of Spanish people think that our football is overpriced. Thanks for the video and I wish you enjoyed the rest of Spain at least.

[@frantila]

"Whistles and moans are louder than goal celebrations" is actually a thing in La Liga matches and Spanish football in general and it's a cultural thing. Spanish people love drama and confrontations and they always voice their opinions as loud as they can, be it tellin the waiter the coffee is cold, paella is bad and things like that. Spanish people love drama and live for the drama. I live in Valencia and don't get me wrong, the noise is always immense when Valencia score, but when the ref fucks up, the noise can be deafening. A football match for a Spanish person is 90 minutes of constant expression of how you feel. Whistles and moans and expressing your anger in a football match is basically Spanish culture in a nutshell. And that's why I frigging love this country.

I soon realised why they avoided the food stalls, as my burger was pure gristle.

Heres the thing Ellis, I believe you went onto the website and just got the hospitality ticket that was available, without having a look at all the other options, which are mostly sold out anyways at madrid. So the comparison with the tunnel club isnt there to begin with, cause im sure thats like the lowest tier of hospitality available at madrid, i guess the other ones are pretty mich only available to businesses and sponsors anyways. And pls never wear sneakers with a suit ever again, thats a crime against humanity. The stadium is located in the financial district right next to other buildings, so thats why it doesnt look charming from the outside.

On one hand Real Madrid doesn't need to sell it's gameday experience however if for that kind of money, I would expect a better seat in the lower bowl, more food options and bigger portions. I don't think it would be tacky if they had a buffet style dining experience. You could have the meat cutters serving up prime cuts of meat, multiple beverage options and to have it all located at the stadium. I've never experienced a game day suite at a game, I live in Minnesota, but the options from what I've heard are better for less money.
