Football fans are reportedly having to fork out almost £770 to be able to play a five-a-side match alongside former Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.
Scholes, 50, will be taking part in a rooftop game lasting an hour at Hotel Football in Manchester on September – a venue which is owned by his former Red Devils team-mates Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs.
Tickets cost £750 plus an £18.75 service fee, but are now sold out ahead of the event in just over a week’s time, according to The Sun.
Included in the price of a ticket is a selfie with Scholes, an autograph from the former midfielder and a complementary burger and fries.
Scholes became a club legend over more than two decades at United, scoring 155 times in total.
A member of the storied Class of ’92, he won 11 Premier League titles, three FA Cups, two Champions Leagues, two League Cups, one Intercontinental Cup, and a FIFA Club World Cup.

He had a short stint as interim manager of Salford City, which he co-owned with Neville and Giggs before the club was purchased by other investors earlier this year.
It comes after Scholes did not take kindly to his daughter’s interruption when viewing the Red Devils’ season opener against Arsenal last weekend.
Scholes was among the legion of supporters who tuned into the action from Old Trafford last Sunday afternoon.
But at least some of the 50-year-old’s joy was stolen by the sight of his daughter wearing an Arsenal jersey.
Alicia, 24, filmed her father’s reaction as she wandered into the lounge in the opening minutes of the game. The hilarious social media clip shows the former midfielder bluntly telling his daughter to ‘take it off’.
She in turn replied with a swift: ‘No’.
Alicia is one of three children the United legend shares with his wife Claire Froggatt. They also share sons Arron, 25, and Aiden, 20.
