But they are already finding their way on to ­secondary selling sites despite Fifa warning that fans may be turned away from games if they buy tickets from “scalpers.”

Category 3 seats are the cheapest for group games at £82 face value. But they are around £2,000 online.

And a VIP box for the final on July 15 at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, is £86,905 — almost 11 times the official Fifa asking price.

A West Ham Supporters’ Club member said: “This is outrageous. Real football fans won’t have a chance to see England.

“It’s the people’s game but normal people are priced out.”

The Football Supporters’ Federation warned of scams and said: “Supporters are still advised to follow official channels.”
