The expanded FIFA Club World Cup has already caused uproar with the addition of more games to an already congested schedule, but the emergence of ticket pricing lists may take that unpopularity to another level. Earlier this season a number of high profile players were very open in their displeasure at the prospect of more games coming in the summer in the tournament format.

Where before only the Champions League winner would represent Europe in the Club World Cup, this season UEFA will have 12 representatives in the 32-team competition. Those 12 are Porto, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, Juventus, Real Madrid and Red Bull Salzburg.

The rejuvenation of the tournament sees FIFA attempt to rival the Champions League in the stature of the competition, with 32 teams from across the world now involved. General sale tickets are set to go live on Thursday, though a limited number of tickets have already gone out on Ticketmaster through the tournament venues.

FIFA's expanded tournament has already sparked disgruntlement over fixture congestion. The tournament will be held in the United States next summer with 32 teams taking part. At least fans will be hoping they get something to rival the glitz and glamour of the Champions League, because according to Bayern Munich's website, tickets to the final will start at £703.29 ($892) for upper tier seats at the grand final.
