Real Madrid CF Tickets

This soccer match went as expected. The soccer pitch was too small for this high caliber match. I referee youth matches in larger fields. I expected a lot of traffic for this event (although the stadium was not full by any means), but I did not expect traffic control to be so damn incompetent at candlestick park. This is a lousy venue to have any sport event. There's no convenient access to candlestick. Having to pay $30 for parking is the ultimate insult. You would think they are throwing in a car wash with the parking. Never going back to candlestick.

Took me 3.5 hours to get to the stadium and get parked, and that is driving only 15 miles. Terrible organization. I only got to see the last 10 minutes of the game, and didn't even sit down.

getting in and out of Candlestick was surprisingly smooth, as was the way in which the gates were handled, from the security guys pacing the flow of the crowd to the very professional folks patting us down and the ushers. it appeared that the event coordinators had properly assessed the needs of this event and the anticipated crowd. some of Real's international stars didn't make the trip up from the training camp at UCLA, but you expect that for a friendly, and enough world class players were on hand to make for a great exhibition of soccer. it was pretty darn cold out there for an Aug. 4, so i certainly appreciated the effort. we were in the first row of the 2nd section of seats in LE27, and it was a constant wrestling match with the folks who obviously felt the railing 3' in front of our seats was free parking for amateur photographers with point and shoot cameras. we did have the benefit of the one usher in the entire bleachers who was earnestly trying to do his job though, windbreaker #1085, who should be commended, because he was not doing popular work. generally the energy was great and the majority of the folks milling around were fun loving, but i will quickly bemoan a fact that caught me off guard. i'm used to the Club Level folks at AT&T park who haven't a clue what the fans' relationship should be to the ballgame, more concerned with getting to sit comfortably and check their emails for 3 hours than getting swept up in the energy of a live sporting event. i did not expect to encounter the "SIT DOWN!" crowd at Candlestick park for a soccer match between the top teams in Mexico and Europe. I've been to soccer matches in Europe, and both Men's and Women's World Cups on American soil, and nobody sat down, ever. in the 2nd half the crowd thickened and the energy built, and the calls from up the bleachers to sit down subsided, but the entire first half was spent missing pieces of the action due to the aforementioned amateur photographers standing in front of us and attempts to appease the people behind us calling for everyone to sit down. this isn't live bowling folks. if you want to sit quietly and watch sports emotionally removed from the energy of the spectacle, stay home and flip channels.

Parking and delay with "security" were absolute mess, even though there were only 40k fans there. Left the house 2 hours before 8 pm and saw only the second half. Also, the fact that there were only few starters is not good for fans. All starters should play at least half of the game. I will not waste my time next time.

Traffic entry into the parking lot was so bad that I got in during half-time. There were hundreds of people streaming into the parking lot and the logistics were so bad, I am sure many missed the game entirely. Terrible!!

We had so much fun at this soccer match! I wish that the powers that be would recognize that San Franciscans do love soccer and that we will attend matches - if they come to town!

We waited in the Will call line an hour before the event and only made it halfway after an hour and 40 minutes. The line wasn't even that long so I don't know what they were doing at the window. As we reached 9:00 (the event started at 8:00) they started to let everyone in even if you didn't have a ticket which caused a huge rush at the gate. We ended up leaving. I think refunds are called for, for everyone who didn't get in.

The closest to the action that my daughter and I have ever been. Worth every penny and would choose premium seats everytime, when affordable!

The game was great, but Candlestick Park was terrible managed and missed half the game. Will Call Section A(signes posted everywhere Will Call) had about 150-200 peaple waiting in line, but to find out it was the line to buy tickets. After waiting for 15-20 minutes they directed us to move to Section B, then directed us to Section C. Because it was so packed they did not review or confirmed that we purchased a ticket or not. Candlestick Park employees was letting anyone and everyone in without confirming they had tickets or not. Never again will I purchase tickets on line "Will Call" . The worse experience ever. I missed half the game.

This was the worst experience ever. I was waiting in will call line for almost the whole game and only got to see the last 15 minutes!!! I want a refund just like the ticketmaster fan guarantee says "We make sure you get your tickets in time for the event." I was in line for more than 90 minutes. So if you had this happen to you call ticketmaster!! Other than that i only saw Ronaldo for a few minutes because he sat down.. what a dissapoitment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my overall rating is less than poor!

ONE word HORRIBLE!!!!! Traffic was horrible! there was no organization whats so ever. My brother and I didn't get to see the game! Worst experience of my life. Never going to a sporting event at candlestick park again!

Lots of goals and plenty of crowd participation! But the traffic was horrendous! We missed the first half. There needs to be public transportation for such a popular event.

Parking is horrible, made us and many others miss the first half.

Other than the length of time it took to get to Candlestick(Bay Bridge was a nightmare!!) the second half was excellent. Both teams played great even if it was a friendly. The fog and cold weather made it seem like a real football game. Well done and keep bringing events like this to the Bay Area Ciao

Got to the venue well before the event, waited in line to park for over an hour, only to find 2 people handling parking at this entrance. Will call was the same story. Only 6 windows, and a TON of people (will call was the only free option, not even printing the tickets at home was free). Waited in line for almost an hour (at this point the game is into the second half) when the "event coordinators" told us all to get out of line. They said that they were letting people in now without tickets at the adjacent gate because "everything is so unorganized." Went to the gate, stood in line, again. When we got to the front, they said they didn't get the ok to let people in without a ticket. Went BACK to will call and got in line AGAIN. A few minutes later the event coordinators said NOW they were letting people in free at the OTHER adjacent gate. I didn't believe em, stayed in line at will call. Got my tickets. 20 minutes before the end of the game.

The game was great once we got to our seat 15 minutes into the game. We waited 90 minutes to pick our tickets up at will call. There was no supervision. Disappointing to see at a high profile event. Many people got to their seats at half time. I would never use your will call again.

Great game, both teams played well for it being a "friendly" game. Very entertaining game with a lot of scoring chances from both sides.

The event was poorly organized. Because of traffic we were an hour and a half late and they refused to offer us a refund so we only got to watch the last 15 minutes of the game.

This was the most disorganized unsatisfying event I have ever been to. There must have been 1,500 -2,000 people waiting to pick up tickets at will call. And this was at 1/2 time. We should get refunds.

Fun event. Many families. Candlestick is always cold. The crowd was fun. Tickets were too expensive though.
