Reds' Ticket Trouble
Under orders from Uefa, Liverpool are putting Champions League final tickets on sale, in spite of being uncomfortable about doing so
Liverpool are putting tickets for the Champions League final on sale now, under instructions from Uefa. They are "uncomfortable" with the order as they prepare for their semi-final against Chelsea but problems with processing applications for visas for the final in Moscow on May 21 have forced the issue. Uefa has told all four semi-finalists to seek ticket requests from fans now.
Manchester United have already made ticket information available and Chelsea and Barcelona are expected to announce their plans in the next few days.
Liverpool's chief executive, Rick Parry, said: "The tickets have got to go on sale now because of Uefa visa requirements. Uefa have insisted we provide them with details the day after the second leg of the semi-final in order to process visas. There is no alternative for us but to start now, however uncomfortable we might feel."
Liverpool will be allocated 21,000 tickets if they reach the final.
