A FURIOUS Euro MP is crying foul over ticket sales for next year's football World Cup in Germany.
Gary Titley says British fans could be forced to pay an extra £20-35 under a deal struck between the German FA, FIFA and tournament sponsors MasterCard.
People without a MasterCard will have to pay the supplement to cover the cost of transferring money from their bank accounts to ones in Germany to pay for the tickets.
The Radcliffe-based MEP described it as a "sordid stitch-up" in favour of one credit card company, which is incompatible with EU single market rules. He has urged the European Commission to intervene.
