Liverpool officials are believed to have contacted UEFA over the possibility of allowing their fans to snap up the unused tickets, but a combination of time constraints and concerns over both sets of fans potentially being sat together, has meant that it isn't possible. While both clubs were given an allocation of more than 16,000 tickets, not all supporters were successful, leading some to use alternative methods - such as unofficial ticketing sites - to make their way to the stadium. https://twitter.com/spiritofshankly/status/995608734960406528 The problem of ticket pricing is just one of many that Liverpool supporters have faced ahead of the final at the weekend, with the altered price of accommodation in particular an issue many are facing. https://twitter.com/RobHarris/status/991811049883041792 https://twitter.com/dmitryzaksAFP/status/998505122845085697 Apply NOW for the SportsJOE Champions League Final Roadshow tickets right here.
