‘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.

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.
