champions league final tickets 2011

Is there a list of cheapest tickets from the last 5-10 finals? I am sure prices go up year on year but I can't help but think they have slapped a big London tax on the price. £26 for an administration fee - really!?I may be completely wrong but that seems very expensive for a non club ticket?

they charge these fees on every tickets these days, just look at concert tickets for example.
these fees are usually per ticket too, so if your buying 5 tickets its 5 x £26, because people would group together in order to get around it, so they just charge per ticket.
the amount of profit made on these things is crazy, you should look at opening up a ticket office.

It's a FIFA/UEFA show piece spectacle for all the prawn sandwich eaters.
I'm afraid it's a beer and a pair of slippers or coughing up.

where do you apply, its worth having a pop, i think if you get 1 english team in the final you could make your money back on ebay if you did not fancy it, a worthy investment

Refuse to pay that much to see a football game.
That's almost a quater of a season ticket at Wednesday for me.

No, don't get me wrong. I'd love to go. I'd love to see a Champions league final.
I'd rather go to one in another country to be honest
It's just, I pay like 450 ish or about that for a season ticket for my club, but for like almost a quarter of that I can see one game. How much were World Cup final tickets?
I just can't see a reason to spend that much money on the TICKET for one game, as much as I'd love to see the final.
Saying all this, I'm due back about £1500 in tax in a couple of weeks so I'll see about getting tickets haha

what?
that analogy just doesnt work. there are other options available, you can watch the game at home for whatever the subscription cost is and have a great view of the whole game, or if you want atmosphere go into your local city and find a sports bar, it will be packed for the final, i did this once whilst at uni, think it was liverpool and milan final and we booked a table at the sports cafe, we had a meal a few drinks and the place had like over 10 tv's within viewing distance and it was jam packed, so the atmosphere was great, not as good as wembley but it would cost me a minimum of £500 more to go there with flights, hotels, spending money, tickets, etc.
you need water to live, you dont need to watch this football game in order to live so you cant compare the two.
is it worth me paying £500+ to see the final in a crap seat? no chance. if i was going to do it, i would go to a final at the nou camp and make a holiday of it at the same time, kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

So even if the tickets were free you'd be moaning at the £324 cost for one game from a rubbish seat. If they were £100 you'd be at £424.
Secondly, I'm purely thirsty, didn't say I was dying of dehydration. The fact is they have a monopoly of tickets and could charge more than £176 if they wanted, because people would be willing to (its simply worth it to many people).
Thirdly, I've seen many games on TV and at bars. No thanks with sports cafes where half the people aren't really football fans but are there just to get wasted. Been many times to them different whilst at university and it ruins the game, would prefer a pub.

Upload yours to there, and then it rotates.
Or if you have your own hosting, create the basic script in the FAQ and it'll rotate as well.

usually the people in sports cafes aren't football fans, but on champions league final day, they all are, well thats what it was like up here.
if i was going to do it, once in a lifetime thing and all, why pay £500+ and go for a crap seat? i would rather pay £1K+ and get a decent seat.
its a bit like going out and buying a brand new bmw but with a 1.8l engine in it, if i was going to spend that kind of money on a brand new bmw i would at least go for at least a 3l and get the full enjoyment out of it. with a 1.8l engine the car would be a major disappointment for the amount of money spent, sure its still a brand new bmw, but i just wouldnt be pleased at spending that kind of money on a car and getting something which lacked oomph.
if you live local in london, then sure its only £200 for a crap seat, once in a lifetime thing, but for me, i would want to get my money's worth and get a decent seat, not too close and not too far away because it would be costing me a lot more for a seat.
The prices are extortionate. In 2005 tickets were priced between €20 to €150 and that was when €1 was only about £0.70 too.
I'd love to hear an explanation for the £26 admin fee though.
