Throw in the fight and it's a perfect storm
Even if you are not into soccer, you might have heard of the Champions League. The most renowned soccer club competition. This year, and for the first time in the history of the European competition, two British teams reached the final. London's Chelsea and Manchester United. So, now put the pieces together -- the strong pound, the historic event, the money that soccer moves in Britain. That's right, some tickets for the final in Moscow on May 21 are already going for $10,000. In the U.K., it is illegal to sell tickets on the Internet, but who says foreign sites can't? And that's just to get into the stadium -- add the flight, the hotel, an expensive getaway.
