Bayern Munich chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen has revealed why they will always keep their ticket prices cheap after selling briefs for just £15 for their fans to watch the Champions League showdown with Celtic.

The Hoops face a glamour game against the German giants next week at Parkhead before a daunting trip to Germany for the second leg. Celtic supporters face an anxious wait to discover if they will receive their full allocation with UEFA weighing up whether to ban them following repeated pyro offences.

And while Celtic fans have to pay £46 for their season ticket seat for the first leg, Bayern fans will pay as little as £15 to secure their place for their home game. And the cost for a season ticket holder at the Allianz Arena for Bundesliga games works out at just £8.33 per match. Now Dreesen explained why they will always keep their ticket prices low.

He said: "I am deeply convinced that it must be possible for someone who doesn't have a job today to be able to go to the cinema and pay roughly the same price for a standing ticket in our stadium.

"The fans in the stands are the backbone and foundation of the team. That's where our power comes from, that's where the atmosphere comes from. A Bayern fan with a standing area season ticket pays the equivalent of less than 10 euros per Bundesliga game during the season.

"That's unbelievably cheap. I am very pleased we are still able to offer such prices. Yes. we could increase the prices without any problems - because we have a list of I don't know how many people who will pay any price... but we don't want that. It is right that football and sport remain accessible."
