Is there a ticket site on the net that isn't a total ripoff?

    Thinking about going to Madrid on June 1 to see Real play Celta Vigo, sites all want 280E for the ticket only which seems like a joke. Same story with Valencia et al. How do they charge these prices when the face value has to be under 100E in most cases.

    Also, £950 for a seat in Old Trafford for the CL final, what a laff :rolleyes:

    surely thats including flights? and accomodation?

    €950 for a ticket, wouldnt see them selling many tbh, not even the scalpers are usually that bad.

    its the champions league final ffs..

    fans of the teams in the final would pay *anything* to see the game..

    Just like some Celtic fans are paying insane money for Uefa Cup final tickets...

    Nope, ticket only, in both cases.

    Generally you will pick up a ticket for a Madrid home game an hour before kickoff, maybe the fact that they are involved in one of the tightest championship races in years in Spain means they are more difficult to get.

    most premiership tickets cost about 300 euro EACH if you buy them online 'second hand'.

    i mailed one of the companies and asked them how they could charge so much for a league match and he said that they charge what they charge because thats what people are willing to pay.

    not too surprised about the madrid prices , i went to see mallaga v valencia in september and official tickets were between 60 and 150 euro , which is bloody expensive considering the ground is a dump. Madrid can afford to charge even more.
    Think Spain must have good season ticket deals or no one could afford it.
