LIVERPOOL fans are furious at getting just 16,613 Champions League final tickets in a 67,000-capacity stadium - with "disgusting" prices ranging from £80 to £530.

Shocked supporters also slammed Atletico Madrid's new Wanda Metropolitano Stadium for offering restricted view seats at the June 1 clash for up to £410.

Social media erupted with claims "working-class people are being priced out of the game completely" by "shameless Uefa with "absolutely disgraceful" prices.

And with airlines upping fares to fly out, fans believe they are being ripped off like last season's final when Kiev hotels charged around £1,400 for one-night stays when Liverpool faced Real Madrid.

The Reds got only 16,626 tickets that time, despite the NSC Olimpiyskiy stadium holding NSC Olimpiyskiy.

And Liverpool supporters are just an angry this time.

One tweeted: "That is disgusting. I know people would give their left nut to be there but the common man is priced out of it especially combined with £900 inflated flights."

Another said: "How can you only get just short of 17k tickets... that's a disgrace."

'RESTRICTED VIEWS???'

Similar outrage came from this post: "It's an absolute disgrace. Uefa have no shame. Robbing tw*ts."

Some fans questions Atletico having "a restricted view in a new stadium???"

But most criticism was over the limited number of tickets and mouth-watering prices.

One supporter noted "25,000 tickets for Uefa 'associates'" - which another fan suggested would be "sold on Ebay for a grand".

There were even claims at least one website was already reselling tickets for £3,000.

Five per cent of Liverpool's 16,613 tickets are category 1 - £513, with £410 for a restricted view.

Another 21 percent are Category 2 - £385, with £308 for a limited view.

The largest proportion of tickets is Category 3 - 54 per cent at £154, or £120 for a restricted view.

And just 20 per cent - around 3,323 - are available at £80.

That left many fans insisting Uefa had no interest in making top-level games accessible for "working-class people".
