After being successful in United’s ticket ballot for this years Champions League final, I am now faced with the harsh reality of having to watch it on TV at home. Not because of the price of the ticket but the fact that a flight to Moscow is currently more expensive than a seat on the Space Shuttle….surely UEFA need to hold off on naming the host country till later on in the competition, say the Quarter Final stage so that it can be made easier for fans to get to.
Most of the people I sit with at United have had to return their tickets as they just could not afford the £900 needed to get there.
It worked out at just under £4,500 for the 3 of us to fly there and back in the same day, not to mention the tickets and any food and drink etc. Now when you consider I pay £665 for my season ticket, £1,400 for one nights entertainment is pretty hard to justify.
Hopefully the lads will do the business and bring the Trophy back home to Manchester.
