Barcelona doing everything they can to make extra cash

I shit on Barca a lot as a Madrid fan. But I would do naughty unspeakable things for a chair from the old Bernabeu stadium.

I’ve been looking for a new gaming chair recently…

The idea is actually cool but the prizes are a bit ridiculous

Arsenal did this with seats from Highbury, my dad bought two

Do people here not know that other clubs have done it before? Especially funny when it's fans of those clubs who make fun of this.

Aren't these seats relatively new? The name change is pretty recent.

EVERYTHING MUST GO! 😀

I'll accept all the jokes man, this team is a meme

It isn’t that unusual for teams moving or renovating a stadium to sell their old seats. York City did it a few years ago and the very old wooden seats from the main stand look great. I know a few people who got themselves one or two

They should give them to season ticket holders.

Barcelona loves a side hustle

Anyone else hate seeing Spotify in front of Camp Nou?

LEVERS

We are massive. Surely we can sell some of Messi's or Laporta's old shirts as well. Maybe the sprinklers too.

People are gonna call this tin pot obviously, but what the hell, better getting money from silly memorabilia than slave labor, war profiteering and the like.

Next time they returf, perhaps consider selling individuals blades of grass?

Eh, it's nothing out of the normal when doing reconstruction. Real Madrid are selling the old seats from the Bernabeu.

It's quitee cool though, imagine you had a season ticket for a few years, it would be fun to have your own seat.

I read a story about a smaller club selling their seats, and a pair that met eachother at the game and married years later bought the specific seats that they met on, so it can have a lot of value.

They told all the season ticket holders that we’d be able to buy our seats for a symbolic price (20-30 dollars) since some of these seats have been in the same family since 1957. Really annoying that they’re just making a quick buck

It's much, but it's honest work

I have an old seat from the Dell (Southampton’s old stadium) that my dad purchased when it was demolished. Not strange at all imo and honestly pretty cool piece of memorabilia

FYI we did this too.

Memorabilia for fans, funds something else for the club and 80k+ plastic chairs don’t end up in a landfill somewhere. Silly not to really.

The new lever

I love making fun of Barca just as much as the next guy but this is pretty normal when a club builds a new stadium. Real Madrid is doing the same thing with their old seats

Ah because Spotify Barcelona was their prime

First the turf, not the seats. Door handles will be next, maybe some of the urinals?? Can anyone say desperate for money? Need some dough to bribe more officials :-)

Another lever unlocked 👌👍

That's one way to self-fund the Super Friends League

Laporta masterclass

€3300 for a camp nou lawn chair?

When moving house, my mum decided to get rid of a box of stuff that was all sentimental to me. This included my old seat from White Hart Lane which I took home from the final game at the Lane

When the lever becomes the lever

I was thinking these were like those WWE chairs for ringside at PPVs/Special Events

They were already doing that

Barcelona selling their soul what else is new.

90,000 different levers

Which financial lever are we up to?
