Why would the Govt request a reduction in Ticket prices for Peru game

[KND2]

Another example of not knowing what is their role and responsibility.

This is not a Govt issue

This is a TTFF and their fans issue. If the fans feel tickets too expensive let them not buy it and leave the stadium empty.

Maybe the game will still sell out and TTFF will make more money.

In any event the Govt coming out and saying lower the price is just another example of politics getting envolved in football because football is the hot thing now,

A nice publicity stunt so to say.

If the Govt feel ticket are too expensive  then whay not buy 20,000 tickets at 300 = 6 Million TT = 1 million US = 14286 Barels of oil @ 70 US a barel.
I am sure a drop in the bucket for our daily oil production output.

We can call it National Oily Football Day and the whole nation will be happy or at least the ones who get the free ticket.

As far as waiving the rental fee for the TTFF that is another perfect example of Govt Management because in a few years when we have no money we could complain about white elephants and maintenace cost etc.

In Trinidad nobody pays for anything and everything is free. Yet at the same time money always changing hands.


Jack get the tickets free from Fifa
Jack get the stadium free from the Govt
The ministers get their ticket free from the Govt
The players get their tickets free from the TTFF
The TTFF get their tickets free from the TTFF
Basdeo get the money free from Duprey

Free thing passing left right and center and yet still money just generating.

Forget Einstien and them with the Matter and Anti matter Star Trek Crap
Forget Jesus with the Wine from Water

Jack and them creating money from Freeness

Edit: as WESTcoast pointed out above

By right, Boyes was supposed to withold the money and revise the amount to be given based on these new prices, However that would have given Jack more ammunition to "Jam dem on how dey stickin", so he made the announcement to the public - to cover the Ministry ass, in terms of their side of the accountabilty factor ....it is all football, a poltical football, but football al the same..

Nothing wrong with the request made by government ...... and rightly so ..they should make the request. I nno way is the government interfering.

PS.... T&T oil doesn't sell for US 70/barrel.
