Fans will have to dig deep for Champions League final trip
By Tom Hatten 13/04/2008

English fans could face a bill of up to Â£1,500 to follow their idols to Moscow for the Champions League Final.

Supporters of semifinalists Chelsea, Manchester United and liverpool could end up paying more than Â£1,500 for flights alone, while hotel prices will go through the roof in the Russian capital - recently named the most expensive city in the world.

Some fans have gambled on their sides reaching the May 21 showdown and have snapped up flights for Â£500. But travel experts say this price will probably TREBLE before the Final.

And the majority of hotels in central Moscow are already completely booked for the night of the match, with even basic rooms going for Â£100 a night.

To compound it all, fans will need a visa for their trip behind the Iron Curtain, which takes 10 working days to get, costs Â£45 and must include an official tourism document supplied by a travel agent.

Almost sure to be an all-English final so they should move it. Total rip off prices that some can afford so will. Complete waste of money for one game in my opinion.

Why should Russia get to host it when the fans will be English or Spanish? All about the Â£Â£Â£. If Man Utd get through to play Chelsea of Liverpool they should stick it at Wembley and have done with it.
