Nice touch, especially considering they had 18,000 apply for £64 tickets.

Wonder if City will do that for the Barca away game? Embarassed

Would be great if they did, as City are gonna need as much support out there as possible.

Out of interest, i wonder how much we're charging Barca for their tickets...is it £62 like Arsenal?

£77 for their home game....not sure how much we are charging Barca fans.

Kin el....£77 affraid

And that's the cheapest seat at the top of their stadium. Says it sold out.

Tickets for our home leg are going for £275+ on Ticketmaster!

Pretty much my feelings too. Cheeky bleeders Mad

Why do they need to charge so much when their stadium holds 98,000 people?

Thats how they have managed to sign the Messi's of this world and stay ahead of the FFP rules

They might only be charging their own fans a tenner to get in though Rolling Eyes

Really? Christ almighty, that's absolutely insane. And isn't Spain on it's arse financially as well? How the hell can the fans keep paying that?

More fool them, I suppose. At least our team's tickets aren't wallet rapists...

Maybe the high ticket prices are to help them pay off their tax bill!

No doubt Leo...as you have to wonder who bankrolls both....and why Platini and his cronies never come out in public and ask any questions...maybe that'll be us if we win the CL!!! Embarassed

The EU are going to question several clubs about Government funding as well, including RM and Barca. If they find there are irregularities (and I suspect they will), it'll be exceedingly difficult for Pratini to ignore it.
