Rome – Scalpers in Rome are charging up to 3,000 euros (4,200 dollars) for a ticket for Wednesday’s Champions League final between Barcelona and holders Manchester United.
The ANSA news agency Tuesday reported that no less than 1,500 euros are necessary for a ticket at the Stadio Olimpico.
Police warned Monday that all tickets have been sold and warned that fakes could be circulating.
Fans of both clubs are looking for tickets outside the stadium although many fear scams and said they will watch the game in pubs. (dpa)
