Tickets through the official channels cost pretty similar to EPL. For Liverpool or Man Utd you're looking at £35 -38. Chelsea and especially Arsenal are more expensive, maybe £50-75 for a basic seat. There is a huge North/South divide.

Tickets are like gold dust though for champs league. It's pretty much you get in at ground level and each game is a pre-requisite for the next. Man Utd have a compulsorily ticket scheme for season tickets whereby you have to buy all games (near 70 games if they go through in all cups) or lose your season ticket - wait times at Liverpool are predicted at 20 yrs and about 10 at Utd so nobody wants to give up their seats. Bit like the Cowboys or red Sox I’m led to believe.

If you were to come and buy on the street for a league game (pool or utd) £60-80, for champs league ...£150-200…. Semi finals i.e pool Chelsea £800 (I’ve seen it being handed over).



The lesser English teams, Wigan/Bolton etc are pay on the door ~ £20, If I were a visitor I’d go to Aston Villa as you can get tickets easily and the atmosphere is pretty good. Go to Spain and particularly Italy and most times you'd pay on the door 20 - 30 euro for a normal game at a top club.

I'm not just saying this but a game against us or Utd is huge for the Spanish, particularly Liverpool at Barca.
