Santos F.C raised the ticket price for the classic game this Sunday at Vila Belmiro(Santos Stadium) against Corinthians. The worst seats went from R$30 to R$80. This irritated many fans but this change was justified by Luis Alvaro (Santos president).He simply said that when a game brings together so many oustanding players, such as Robinho, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Neymar and others, the expected show should be more expensive. He also reminded that this is a classic that happens over 80 years, and is once more bringing together the best football players in Brazil. Santos president mentioned that in order to maintain a high level squad they need more resources, therefore takes advantage of these great games that everyone wants to watch.
Inspite of using Robinho as one of the reasons for elevating the price, he may not play the classic against Corinthians. Robinho was called to play for the Brazilian national team and should leave on Sunday. But Luis Alvaro is trying to convince the national team to allow Robinho to take a night flight. Dunga appears to have allowed Robinho to fly out later, but Ricardo Teixera (CBF president) still hasn`t decided. All Santos fans are anxiously waiting for his decision, and hoping to see the man of the hour play on Sunday.
