Tottenham will NOT subsidise fans’ tickets for Champions League final

Tottenham will not subsidise their fans who asked for ticket prices to be capped at £100 for next month’s Champions League final against Liverpool in Madrid.

Fans face paying as much as £513 for the showpiece match at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano on June 1.

But Spurs have denied a request from their Supporters’ Trust in a bid to dissuade UEFA from repeating the extortionate costs in future.

Both clubs have been handed an allocation of 16,613 for the 63,500-capacity stadium in the Spanish capital.

The cheapest seats will cost £60 with other tickets tiered at £154, £385 and £513.

‘As you are aware UEFA set both the allocation and the prices. We acknowledge that these prices, along with the inflated flight and hotel prices, represent significant costs for fans’, Spurs sad in reply to a request from Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust (THST).

‘We have and we would urge you to do so too, raised both ticket prices and the limited allocation with UEFA in the hope that future competitions can be priced more reasonably and made more widely accessible.

‘For the game in hand however we do not feel it is appropriate for us to subsidise ticket prices, not least because it would remove any incentive for competition organisers to price sensibly in the future.

‘Both yourselves and Spirit of Shankly have ensured that the issues of allocation and pricing have been aired and the hope must be that future competitions acknowledge fan sentiments.’
