Nobody rush! There's plenty for everyone!
Tickets for the May final are now on sale, despite the fact we are not yet even into the quarter-finals!
Of course, this is a plan thought up by UEFA, designed to drum up interest and remind us all of the Champions League's worldwide appeal. Which must be why around 25% of tickets are set aside for sponsors rather than added on to the measly 21,000 each finalist will eventually receive.
Speaking of sponsors, did I mention that to buy a ticket from UEFA, you must hold a credit card in the name of Visa, Eurocard or Mastercard? Or that you could end up paying a 40 euro administrative fee on top of the already extortionate ticket price? It must be one big form they are filling in for that kind of money!
Oh and by the way, you've stumped up the money, you've told your mates you're on your way to Russia, but there's still one more catch.
This system UEFA have designed is only a ballot, a lottery which promises the scant chance of a maximum two tickets.
As usual, it seems the biggest winners are UEFA themselves. A footballing governing body which doesn't care for the fans? Who would've thought it?
