It’s a sellers market. Supply and demand.

If you were a hotel owner would you: Charge your regular rate or bump it up?

I understand the principles of it, still though it's ridiculous and 16,000+ fans have paid that amount to go. £5,000 is a stretch for what is ultimately a game of football that lasts 90 minutes (or 120+ if pens are required).

I agree, but the same goes for holidays and flights during school holidays. Or that PL teams have different categories for pricing.

Yeah but look at the difference in price. Some holidays during summer time now are very much affordable and your going away for a week/10 days/2 weeks usually? This is a 90 minute football game, that's the difference.

Hardly comparable when you consider the hike in prices.

Holiday prices increase marginally during holiday periods not by double, r=treble or even higher multiples.

Of course, it shouldn't happen and the market usually stabilises at the price people are willing to pay, but what we're seeing in Kiev defies even that logic.

But there are hundreds of thousands of holiday places and only on CL final with these two teams this year. I don’t agree with it as I stated before, but supply and demand.

It’s all relative!

If you’ve got the money and can more than afford it then why not?

Doesn’t make it right that some caaaaaaaants making a load of money on it.

Shocker ticket rip off in football

i'll just fly my private jet there, what the problem. 14k for a CL final ticket is nothing. but then again.. i'm so rich i just demand a uefa ticket which is free anyway so what do i know?

Welcome to capitalism. It's what enables people to access the internet and moan about it on their £1000 mobiles.

Is that how much you pay in Wolverhampton?

Who'd have thought.
