This Saturday’s Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which regularly draws hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, is shaping up to be a particularly special occasion,Forbes reports. The combination of Luis Suarez’s long-awaited Barca debut after returning from his long biting suspension and the prospect of Lionel Messi surpassing TelmoZarra’s all-time La Liga scoring record if he scores more than two goals against Barca’s archrival has apparently amped up demand for tickets: according to the online ticketmarketplace viagogo, searches for El Clasico are up 84 percent in the past week. Meanwhile, the get-in price for tickets to the game is currently $396.98, more than double the price to any other RealMadrid home game this season.
