Champions League Final Wembley

[johnp]

£12.50. Genuinely.

Unbelievable how ****ing much the prices have inflated.

How much were tickets in Istanbul and Athens?

[Craig_H]

I'm not sure, i didnt get to Istanbul and i didnt get my Athens ticket via 'official' channels

[Red_Polo]

Athens was about £45 I think, will see if I can dig the ticket out from wherever the **** it is.

[Craig_H]

Was never that cheap, surely??! I seem to remember €90 being mentioned. My ticket's face value was €90 anyway.

[Red_Polo]

Have to say, thinking about it I really don't remember too well.

I don't think the ticket I had was as much as EUR90. Frankly, whatever it was seemed so insignificant when I was paying £700 for the flights

[Craig_H]

£700???? You went on the same flight as me, via the same company - i paid £500. How the feck did you pay £700

[Red_Polo]

By buying it off someone else rather than the company.

[Alex]

I think the prices for the clubs will be cheaper. I think these are the general sale ones. I am probably wrong though.

Fans will have to pay £176 for the cheapest ticket on general sale for this season's Champions League final, to be played at Wembley on 28 May.

The "category three" tickets cost £150 plus an administration fee of £26.

However, for fans of the clubs involved in the final, the cheapest tickets will be priced at about £80.

Uefa's director of competitions, Giorgio Marchetti, said the prices were in line with comparable events such as the World Cup final.

He said: "We don't think that the Champions League final is overpriced.

"We do not want to squeeze every single penny out of the market.

"We have to benchmark this event against other comparable events, like for example the final of the Euros and the World Cup.

"Last year there was already a significant increase compared to the previous editions but it's nothing to do with being in London and it is still priced below comparable events."

Uefa announced that 11,000 tickets will be available on general sale. The allocation of these tickets will be decided by ballot.

Prices, not including administration fees, start at £150 for category three tickets rising to £225 and £300 for the best seating in categories two and one respectively, with wheelchair entry costing £80.

A number of £80 tickets will be available among the 25,000 allocated to each club for the final at the 86,000 capacity Wembley Stadium.

Uefa expect income from the Champions League final to top £14m, £3m more than the final in Madrid in 2010.

The Champions League final was last hosted by the UK in 2003 at Old Trafford and it has not been staged at Wembley since 1992 when Barcelona lifted the European Cup by beating Sampdoria in the year before the competition was revamped.

Since then, the stadium has been rebuilt at a cost of over £750m.

Tickets for the Uefa women's Champions League final, which is being held at Fulham's Craven Cottage ground on 26 May, are £5.

Marchetti added: "We have different targets and objectives for the women's final."

Ahhh, i see

[Chrono]

Athens was about £45 I think, will see if I can dig the ticket out from wherever the **** it is.

I believe both Athens and Istanbul were between £45 and £55. I guess there were different priced tickets but that's how much I got mine for.

[PTP]

going back - iirc my ticket for dortmund in 2001 was £25 and the programs were about £3

[Nick77]

Well the cheapest tickets you will get to watch either Barcelona or Real Madrid is 60 Euros, going up all the way up to 200 Euros if u wanna sit pitch side. Not forgetting the Hospitality tickets which go up to a whopping 3000 Euros!! No wonder those 2 sides turnover the most money in world football!!
Also I paid 200 quid for my Cat. 3 World Cup final ticket here in South Africa - just shows how ****ed up world football is!!

[Dim Tim]

Football is meant to cross classes and join people together... Like **** it does. It's for the rich these days!
