Wrestling fans have hit out at “extortionate” ticket prices for WWE’s first ever Scottish pay-per-view show, Clash at the Castle.

The “premium live event” comes to Glasgow’s OVO Hydro venue on 15 June.

The cheapest tickets cost £300, with premium tickets more than £2,000.

A WWE spokesperson told BBC Scotland News that some tickets had been on sale at lower price point across two nights at the venue.

However, they declined to give details of how many of these tickets were available or how many had sold.

Journalist Ross Brady, who has followed WWE to events in London, Cardiff and New Orleans, said he was not able to find a ticket for less than £300.

He said: "The first prices that went up were for combo tickets of around £330, so I waited for the event on the Saturday and it was £303.50 for just the single ticket.

      Yeah… $375US for a “cheap” seat is fucking robbery.

      Also, our dollars need to be better friends. Math is hard.
