UEFA bring down Champions League final ticket prices

UEFA have announced that they have taken into consideration the needs of supporters by reducing ticket prices for the Champions League final at Wembley.

The cheapest price of £176 for the last European final in England, which was Barcelona's 3-1 victory over Manchester United in 2011, sparked outrage among fans.

A ticket of £60 plus an £8 administration charge will be the cheapest that supporters can purchase for this year's contest at the home of English football.

"It is correct we should give the opportunity to everyone to go to the match irrespective of their financial conditions," BBC Sport quotes a spokesman as saying.

Neutral fans will be offered 11,800 of the £60 tickets.
