As published by the portal Cuban Newspaper, The company Cubadeportes SA, which manages part of the boxes at the Latinoamericano stadium, the main baseball facility in Cuba, charged 600 Cuban pesos (CUP) for a “VIP” box to fans who wanted to see the third game of the grand final of the 62 National Series between Las Tunas and the capital hosts, industrial.
The offer described as “innovative” includes a cartridge of fried chicken, a 1.5-liter bottle of cola and water.
According to the official journalist Alejandro Rodríguez Cuervo, the company Cubadeportes SA, which is the entity in charge of the exclusive rights to market products and services related to sports in Cuba, made its boxes available in the stadium to develop this modality of business
“At the same entrance, the Boxes of Cubadeportes SA will be required. Information provided by Rita Salom,” the communicator refers to on his Twitter account.
The price of 600 CUP generated all kinds of comments, as it contrasts with what is usually charged to enter the sports facility; In addition, it means almost 30% of a minimum wage in Cuba, which is 2,100 CUP, or 40% of a pension for a retiree (1,528 CUP), usually the person who, due to their age range, is more fond of baseball.
So far, it is unknown how many Cubans agreed to buy a ticket for the famous VIP box. In the third game of the grand final, the Las Tunas team easily won the match and placed Industriales on the brink of the abyss, since they have no victories in this play-off and have recorded three consecutive losses. The business for Cubadeportes could last very little if the Orientals win this Friday, August 11, since they would be proclaimed champions of the 62 SNB and the championship would end.
