Europa League final: Tottenham vs Manchester United tickets being sold for £12,000 on tout websites

Thousands of fans will descend on Bilbao later in May - (Action Images via Reuters)

Europa League final tickets are already being resold for thousands on ticket tout websites as Tottenham and Manchester United fans scramble to attend.

Bilbao, in northern Spain, will host an all-English European final after Spurs saw off Bodo/Glimt and United thumped Athletic Club across their respective two-legged semi-finals.

There are less than two weeks until thousands will descend on Bilbao, and UEFA have confirmed both teams will be allocated around 14,000 tickets each, with close to 25,000 being allocated elsewhere by European football’s governing body.

It makes the scramble to attend further frantic, and both Spurs and United only have short windows to dish out their separate allocations to fans.

Ticket prices have been set by UEFA, ranging from £55 to £204. So it will anger fans to see tickets already on sale on ticket tout websites in the thousands.

One popular website has hundreds of tickets in both the Spurs and United sections of the ground starting at an eye-watering £1300.

The options climb drastically, with a number of general admission tickets available for a staggering £10,400. The optioons top out at more than £12,000 for tickets described as 'Prestige VIP Hospitality'.

UEFA warn that any ticket not bought through an official reseller will not be valid.
