Beckham features on new LA Galaxy tickets
Published Saturday, Apr 7 2007, 14:15 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
Executives at David Beckham's new team LA Galaxy are cashing in on his move by featuring the footballer's face on match tickets.
The 31-year-old appears on tickets for the team's first game of the season on Thursday against FC Dallas - even though he won't be playing in any matches for at least another three months.
A source told the Daily Star: "Posing majestically with his new hair-do and gazing into the distance might not do anything for UK fans but US audiences are different. They like their sport with added glamour, right down to the tickets.
"There have been quite a few raised eyebrows over this. Seeing Beckham plastered all over tickets for these matches, which he won't be playing in, is quite strange."
