M&S Money offers Champions League tips

Finance group M&S Money has given a series of tips to Manchester United and Chelsea fans heading to Moscow for this month's Champion's League final.

According to the body, the average price they can expect to pay for a hotel room is £236, although huge demand is expected of the 35,000 hotel rooms in the city.

It added that it is a good idea to shop around when exchanging pounds into rubles before heading to Moscow and to avoid withdrawing money from foreign cash machines.

Fraser Millar, head of M&S Travel Money, commented that the group is expecting an increase in demand for the currency.

He said: "If fans have trouble getting Russian currency we recommend they take US dollars or euros which they can change in at banks or exchange offices in Moscow."

Manchester United and Chelsea booked their place in the final this week after defeating Barcelona and Liverpool respectively.
