Welcome to Scamdinavia: Manchester United fans protest over £71 ticket for FC Midtjylland clash

KampusbeT  ~   " Welcome to Scamdinavia: Manchester United fans protest over £71 ticket for FC Midtjylland clash "

Agen CasinO  ~   Fans of Manchester United protested the absurd £71 ticket price at FC Midtjylland ahead of their Europa League fixture.

 

Disgruntled supporters have been forced to pay £49 more than Southampton fans who attended the qualifier at the MCH Arena earlier this season.

United fans unfurled a banner reading "Welcome to Scamdinavia" in the town centre ahead of the last-32 first-leg tie on Thursday night.

Up to 800 United fans are expected to have made the journey despite being forced to shell out the extortionate ticket price.

Southampton's tie earlier in the season cost away fans just £22.

However, Midjtylland have defended their ticket prices, claiming the clash is their "cup final".

Cliff Crown, a director at the Danish club and also chairman of Brentford, believes his side's valuation is fair.

Bandar Judi Online CasinO  ~   “We are only a small club in small region of Denmark and this is our cup final so we have to make the most of our opportunity," he told talkSPORT.

Fans are expected to chant about the ticket prices inside the MCH Arena.

The normal price of a home league game ticket for the Danish minnows is just £15.

The Danish side's commercial director, Jacob Jorgensen, said in December: "I can understand that it's expensive for a United fan to see FC Midtjylland and that they are angry themselves. But that's how it is.

"We are in competition with Manchester United to move forward, and their huge turnover and many TV money is so much greater than ours.

 

"I think we put up a very fair price, we could easily get sold out for the match, we took 1500-2000 kroner per ticket."
