When I was 12 years old I was given five tickets for one of the hottest derbies in league history. For some strange reason all the F.A. connections I was usually approaching for tickets responded so I got five.
Stadium filled to capacity, sold out.
But I made the mistake of trying to sell them inside the police cordon, so no customers.
In the end I gave one for free to another kid, I used one to enter myself and the others were wasted.
I heard that when AC Milan played Liverpool in Athens 3 years ago the touts were selling 10000 euros apiece.
