"Fans will have to pay £176 for the cheapest ticket on general sale for this season's Champions League final, to be played at Wembley on 28 May.
The "category three" tickets cost £150 plus an administration fee of £26.
However, for fans of the clubs involved in the final, the cheapest tickets will be priced at about £80.
Uefa's director of competitions, Giorgio Marchetti, said the prices were in line with comparable events such as the World Cup final.
He said: "We don't think that the Champions League final is overpriced.
"We do not want to squeeze every single penny out of the market.
"We have to benchmark this event against other comparable events, like for example the final of the Euros and the World Cup."
