Ferguson criticises Champions League final ticket prices

Alex Ferguson has branded the price of tickets for the Champions League final at Wembley on May 28 as "a killer" for fans.

UEFA this week admitted ticket prices for the showpiece would be the most expensive ever.

The cheapest tickets on general sale will come to £150 (€178.04) plus a £26 (€30.86) administration fee, while the cheapest category-four tickets available through the clubs will be £80 (€94.95).

"It's unbelievable and disappointing," Manchester United boss Ferguson said. "It's a killer and a corporate deal, that.

"Managers and players can't do anything about it.

"I don't know what you can do. You have a booking fee also of £26 or whatever it is, so dearie me."
