UEFA Champions League Final

The UEFA Champions League Final is being played right now. The event, similar in stature to the Super Bowl, is played at a neutral site stadium between the best two soccer clubs in Europe.

The Ultimate Sports Wife and I considered attending the event in Moscow since a Russian visa was included with your ticket to the match. However, at the time, ticket prices to the match were competing with Super Bowl ticket prices (approximately 1500 euro or $2,300 each). Although traveling to Moscow is cool, I would rather attend the Super Bowl for that price.

But over the past few weeks, the secondary market price to the match has declined greatly (500 euro or $750 each) since England fans decided it was too pricey to travel to the world’s most expensive city. The Champions League Final is a bargain at that price. Good luck finding a ticket that cheap next year when the game is held in Rome, Italy.

Another notable of the event is the 10:45 pm local start time. I believe that is one of the latest start times for any event which would add to the excitement.
