Its a bit of a disgrace alright. Feel for anyone who planned/plans to go.

I thought there was some rule they cant charge more than the home fans. I seriously doubt they are charging the home fans even half that price.

The club should be doing something about this. The FSF might publicise it a bit, I think they done that after Barcelona.

Disgrace. I was still debating whether to go or not but that's done it for me. I still recommendMarseilles for those who are planning to make it though!
And as much as I'm looking forward to Dortmund I'm a bit pissed off with the prices considering how German football is supposed to be super cheap. Dortmund fans will pay less at our ground ffs!

Only 2000 tickets as well.

Guess the whole cost will now put most people off

Not quite at Barcelona levels but a rip off all the same. I bet some of their season tickets don't cost much more than they are charging us for this match.... Also feel for anyone who does fancy taking kids to a CL away game that there are NEVER any tickets available at a concessionary rate!

The ticket for this game will cost me more than either the flight or hotel..... :twisted: !

Well, instead of whingeing about it on here, write and complain to UEFA.

They'll soon put a stop to it.

At least a couple of people have already mentioned that the Stade Velodrome is under reconstruction ahead of Euro 2016 and has a reduced capacity.

Here is a link to a recent picture showing what it looks like at the moment. Is the away section the sectioned off bit on the left? Not sure if OM still have the lower tier to the right or whether that is currently being left empty:

Its a complete and utter joke I've just booked flights and hotel. so total cost for me is £300.00 including ticket. only hope its a great trip with the boys, and that we don't fuck up as we usually do in these sort of games. :barscarf:

Got my flights for a fucking steal so it could be worse, but £64 is an absolute pisstake. It's not even as if Marseille are a top team or playing in a state of the art stadium.

There needs to be some kinda investigation into this shit, and not by UEFA! Where will it stop? £100 per ticket?! £150?!

Uefa already charge more than that for their final tickets! If it they could get away with it they'd have the final at Wembley every year because they know 90,000 mugs would always pay those prices!

You can add Villarreal to the rip off sides as well. I remember looking at a Liverpool fans pictures of their trip to Marseille a few years ago, if it's still the same away section that's in use then the view is horrendous. Rip off.
