The managers also sympathised with Chelsea and Arsenal’s frustrations ahead of their Europa League final – as for the first time in history the continent’s two showpiece events will be occupied solely by English clubs.
Liverpool and Tottenham have been allocated just 16,613 tickets each for their game at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid on June 1, while Chelsea and Arsenal will only get around 6,000 each for their match at Baku’s Olympic Stadium.
Both grounds have capacities of 68,000+.
Travel and hotel costs for both games have also rocketed, causing uproar among some supporters and now provoking a response from the teams’ bosses.
“Travel agencies and hotels are not silly,” admitted Klopp.
“It is difficult. I think with Madrid, it is unbelievably expensive, at least it is not another part of the world.
“Going to Baku for a Europa League final, that’s really funny.
“Last year we went to Kiev [for the Champions League final], which is a wonderful city but that a Russian team or a team from that part of the world will be involved is not really likely.
“Madrid has to prepare for 200,000 English fans.
“Baku I have no clue how to get there if there is a direct flight at all.
“These decisions, they must be much more sensible. It just looks irresponsible.
“Maybe, in the cities who get the final, maybe they have to make a price cut? I heard a room that is normally £100 is now £2,700? Just crazy! I sympathise a lot.
“Madrid is unbelievably expensive but who decides Baku for a European final? Or Kiev? I don’t know what the people who decide these things have for breakfast.”
Pochettino added: “We started to talk with the club today [Friday] to organise and see how it is going to work,” he said.
“Yesterday I was calling some hotels to try and book some rooms because I don’t know if my family and some people from Argentina are going to be there.
“I wanted to book and it was so difficult and the prices are so crazy. I am very surprised but it is normal that people take advantage of this type of opportunity to make benefit. It is going to be very, very difficult.”
“I am very surprised because it is normal, it is not normal, but it is normal that people take advantage of this type of opportunity to make benefit.
“I am suffering for both clubs and both fans, Liverpool fans because it is going to be so, so, so difficult to get the chance to arrive there, not only to find the ticket, if not to find a way to arrive to be there. It is going to be very, very difficult.”
