Every now and then the beautiful and common analogy has been drawn between the Bundesliga relegated Hertha BSC and BER airport. We have known since Sunday that the comparison falls short in at least one respect. At the general meeting, Hertha, which is heavily in deficit and plagued by debt, privatized the catering that volunteers had provided on previous occasions. Instead of the usual tokens for food and drink, this time Hertha members had to look forward to discount tokens worth two euros. But even if you redeemed this, you had to pay a hefty amount for 0.33 liters of water in Berlin’s exhibition hall 21: a whopping 1.90 euros. For comparison: In BER you can buy half a liter of water for 1.50 euros. Whether the new prices also fall under the term “revolution” that club boss Kay Bernstein has proclaimed?
