Sevilla, United in ticket war
Sevilla will report Manchester United to European football governing body UEFA for not offering its fans enough tickets for the Champions League last 16 second leg at Old Trafford, the Spanish club said in a statement yesterday.
The two clubs have been engaged in a price war over tickets which escalated when United informed its travelling supporters their first leg tickets to the Spanish match would be subsidized by charging Sevilla fans more for the second leg.
Sevilla is charging United fans between 89 and 133 pounds (US$120 to US$179) to watch the game at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on February 21, which United considered excessive. In an email to ticket holders for that game, United explained it would be refunding them 35 pounds, which is the difference between the 89 pound ticket price and the 54 pound price Liverpool supporters were charged by Sevilla during the group stage of the competition.
Sevilla responded by saying it would subsidize its own supporters’ tickets to the Old Trafford match.
