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.
It's the same thing they did with the UFC Business model, as they got more popular their tickets went insane. Now they are doing the same with WWE, which I guess we shouldn't be surprised as it's the WWE executives being shown the doors.
In fairness, the late Attitude Era prices were crazy high, for decent seats in Greensboro it was almost an entire month's worth of afterschool jobs at the 5.15 minimum wage. So it could just be capitalism.
*converts to local currency to ensure outrage is at appropriate level*
...OH FUCK OFF LMAO
$512 CAD for the cheapest seats. For that kinda money A few TKO board members better be servicing me through the whole show and I don't mean bringing me stuff from the food stand.
Granted, I haven't looked into how much it would cost to go to a show here in the states, but after converting to dollars, that's about what I would expect to see. Is that a lot higher than normal?
