I see that UEFA have released details of the ticket prices for the Champions League Final at Wembley. Cheapest ticket for the neutral that will be available is £150. Tickets are to be bought in pairs with a £26 administration fee for each pair.
Would you pay that kind of money to watch a game that doesn't involve Hibs (this season at least)? Suppose it is one of those 'events' that you'd like to experience in person.

Yes and I will be attempting to get some. Problem is we need five, so can't see it happening.

There's not a chance I'd pay that, although I am lucky enough to have been to a champions league final. My mum got freebies for the 2002 final at hampden through her work. The customer they had been given to handed them back.

No chance.
Anyone who pays that is a mug.
There is nothing more you'd experience being down their than on TV, as a nuetral. Atmoshere would be pesh, full of corporate *****.
No doubt there will be tens of thousands applying though, tens of thousands who havn't been to a game in their puff.
I know two Hibbys who havn't been to Aberdeen as 'its a pure trek', yet they're applying for tickets for a match in London. Tits.
**** modern football.

I might pay for the £150 tickets if it was a Manchester Utd-Barcelona final or something like that.
I believe the most expensive tickets are £300 and I wouldn't pay that.
It's still a ridiculous amount of money for 90 minutes of football.
When you think that it costs £110 for a ticket at the men's final of Wimbledon, and that could last for about 3-4 hours, I know where the value for money is.

Comes down to if you can afford it and how often does a European final get played on British ground? It could get played in Spain for example and you would end up paying even more in travel/accom so aye I would pay it.

The people's game, eh?
FIFA and UEFA are nothing more than money gathering machines and they should be ashamed of themselves for charging that kind of money for a standard ticket.
The prices of tickets for gigs, footy, shows, you name it has gone up astronomically is the last 15 years and it is totally and uttering unjustified.
I wonder how much the hundred and twenty thousand odd paid to watch the final at Hampden in 1960?

The most I have ever paid to watch a game of fitba is £36 and that was at Euro 96 - Scotland v Switzerland at Villa Park. Unless it was Hibs I wouldn't pay much more than £40 to be a neutral at a match.

Slightly off topic - have you seen the price of the olympic's tickets? £725 for the men's 100m final,over 2 grand for "good" seats for the opening ceremony ffs! Suddenly the C.L. prices look like a bargain.

Nearly 100,000 people can make a hell of a noise in a stadium like that and the football quality was tremendous!
Downtown Barca after the match was superb too!

Buy 2 at £300, make £1500 selling them down there before the game. Especially if an english side make it!

60 quid i paid for last nights Liverpool game; and that was the 2nd cheapest possible! Prices went up to near 100 quid. Ground was nearly full, so I guess 150 for the CL final does not seem that ridiculous.
Prices are a joke though overall.

It's quite simple these prices are determined by demand - UEFA wouldn't be charging these prices if they didn't think people would pay it.

Most of the atmosphere will be outside of the ground, if that's the main motivation for people going then they've more money than sense. I was in Manchester for the 2003 AC Milan-Juventus final and it was a great craic in town pre-match but I can't imagine it was anything particularly special in the ground.

Still, £725 for 9.5 seconds of action is probably the ultimate rip-off, even if you are an athletics fanatic.
For that kind of price, I would be wanting to take part in the race itself!

For the ordinary fans of the teams that actually got there this amounts to nothing but exploitation - especially when you consider that many of the other punters there will probably be rich basturds on some kind of freebie.
