Fans desperate to be at this Sunday's Premier League clash between City and Liverpool are being asked to stump up £5000 for a pair of tickets by on line touts. The website livefootballtickets.com was selling tickets for a seat in the Centenary Stand at an extortionate £2,453. A face value ticket for the same section costs £52. There are more 'modest' figures in the region of £500 to a £1,000 but the extortionate prices are staggering, considering an original ticket for the sell-out Category A clash would be between £44 and £52 when sold by the club..
Those wanting to experience the atmosphere of the Kop would have to fork out a minimum of £795. For less than that price, fans could get next year's season ticket in the central section of the same stand.
Prices for the away end currently start at £430 but a face value ticket cost £44.
