‘I’m not made of money!’: Wayne Rooney leaves fans outraged as he charges £450 for An Evening With event

Wayne Rooney fans were furious to learn that tickets for a live unscripted interview with the football ace would leave them £450 out of pocket. 

For that platinum package price, fans of the top Man United goal scorer and current Derby County boss, 36, would also have the opportunity to meet him, receive a signed shirt and tuck in to a three-course meal, among other perks. 

However, many disgruntled fans were not convinced it was worth the top dollar pricing.  

Gold and silver packages are also available, with the lowest value sitting at £149 per person.
