StubHub and Viagogo and a fair few private sellers online. As long as you pay by PayPal you will be insured. I bought pacman v Mayweather tickets direct from stubhubs Vegas office 3 hours before the fight, face value !!


Average cheapest price over the last week has been about 2k. Was very tempted as Mrs Liverpool fan but decided against in the end as despite the hype it's not that big of an event, I'm sure Liverpool will get to the final again in the next few years .....

Thought it would be a bit daft not to do that and miss out on selling thousands of pints to the English.

Ian Abrahams said there wouldn't be a couple of days ago. Thought it was odd. Unlike him to be wrong [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I saw on Sky Sports News yesterday that there wasn't an actual typical fan zone (like in most big finals and tournaments) which fans thought was daft. Not only does it ruin the atmosphere but its harder to police as you got large groups of fans scattered all over the place instead of being contained.

On the news they spoke to long lost Spurs fans in Madrid, who’d travelled from Australia and NZ.

Tickets were bought from (tracing it back) to Spurs s/t holders who’d sold on for colossal profits. [Both Spurs and Liverpool say they’ll ban such s/t holders, with the card removed].

In addition we know that loads of folk in the UEFA football ‘family’ and sponsors, also sell their tickets for a huge gain.

Always been the way, including at FA Cup finals, Euro and WC tournaments.

Those with money will always find a way!

Wonder if this was the PR ploy to discourage people from travelling. Seems as though there are club-specific zones being set up.

I'm going to miss the game completely, will be on a bloody plane at the time [emoji53]

I've know a couple of mates who are out there, one got a ticket and the other missed your by 1 loyalty point
It's still worth going without a ticket just to be a part of it, the atmosphere around the city today will be immense

Looks like the BBC have got it wrong then! Still seems daft though.

Mastercard dishing out tickets to any one that wants them in London Financial world (Not actual fans !)

Is the correct answer. They allocate them to other Banks they do business with like HSBC, Allied Irish Bank, Santander, Barclays, Lloyds TSB and the list goes on. They all get 50 to 100 each. Then the banks either give them to staff at the Top or openly ballot them within each organisation around the World.

Whoever gets them and wants to go then goes or they flog them on

Anyway you look at it, this is just wrong when they're taking the seat of die hard fans.

I agree but MasterCard will claim they pump Billions into the Competition
