UEFA cap Champions League away ticket prices

[MCFC1993]

Capped at €60 (£50) this season and €50 (£42) from next season onwards.

Took them long enough, probably realised that the increased amount of games would lead to less away fans in grounds if they did nothing. Could have capped it lower if we're being honest but a positive change nonetheless.

Now, they should start doing something about the price of tickets for finals.

They won’t, because I am assume they get the ticket revenue for the finals? Seems they’re happy to cut the amount the clubs can make but won’t take a pinch themselves

Spot on
Seem to remember Barca and Madrid being the biggest pisstakers on away ticket prices, sure the former was over a ton and a few years ago as well

Offset by their official sponsor Skyscanner, who will add the money saved onto flight prices.

Barca charged us €98 in 2014.

Obviously anything that saves you money is welcome.

Assuming this will also apply to both sets of ‘away’ fans in the final?

Thought not.

The price of flights and hotel rooms will go up instead.

They can also argue they have to hire the stadium too

Maybe they should be put in charge of selling Oasis tickets too ;)

Better late than never, I guess.
