Rayo Vallecano offers discount to unemployed fans


MADRID(AP) Spanish league club Rayo Vallecano is offering discounted tickets to unemployed fans for Sunday's game against Real Madrid in a bid to help club members affected by Spain's financial crisis.

Rayo says it will make 1,000 tickets available at the price of 5 ($6.60) to unemployed supporters for the crosstown derby with the Spanish leader.

Ticket prices for regular members remain between 20 ($26.50) to 25 ($33) as the club hopes to fill its Vallecas Stadium.

Debt-ridden Spain has Europe's highest unemployment rate at nearly 23 percent, including a jobless rate of 39 percent for those aged between 20 and 29.

Rayo has won three straight games to sit eighth in the standings.
