Liverpool are set to raise Champions League final ticket concerns with UEFA.
European football’s governing body allocated just 16,613 tickets to both the Reds and Tottenham for next Saturday’s showpiece at Madrid’s Estadio Metropolitano.
Face value of tickets ranged from £60 to £513 while the prices of flight and accommodation in the Spanish capital have risen to extortionate levels.
Peter Moore, Liverpool’s CEO, has pledged to raise the issue when he meets with UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin next week in the build-up to the final.
“We talk to UEFA every day. We have been talking to UEFA for 40 years as you well know. But we do want UEFA to understand this city, which they do,” he told Goal.com.
“Ceferin was here last year for the Manchester City home game and I spent a lot of time with him. I will see him next week.
“Today our football club is focused on helping our supporters everywhere. It was about getting the M&S Bank Arena all done and sorted [for a fan screening of the final] and that was done today.
“There are a lot of logistics involved there. Then we are getting our fan park ready in Madrid – our team is right there now, helping supporters.
“I will see him [Ceferin] and usually when I see Alek there are 20-things [to talk about] and it is all the things that you think: what do we do for allocations, what do we do for this? All of the normal stuff. It is a long list.
“The good news is we are going to a Champions League final but there is a lot of work to do to make it work.”
