Livefootballtickets had VIP seats with food and drink for £13,500 and was listing Category 1 seats for a whopping £7,500.
But secondary sellers risk carnage by flogging tickets for the Manchester City-end of the ground in Istanbul, Turkey.
Ticombo is selling seats in the Man City section for £800, which could be snapped up by ultras from Italy’s Inter Milan.
Fans buying via clubs or Uefa agents could only sit with fellow fans.
Uefa is keen to avoid a repeat of chaos at last year’s Liverpool and Real Madrid game in Paris.
The was disfigured by chaotic organisation, in which Liverpool supporters suffered a near disaster and riot police tear-gassed spectators while failing to protect people from violent attacks by local thugs.
The French government, police and Uefa united instantly to put the blame on Liverpool supporters, claiming that the chaos was caused by thousands seeking entry with fake tickets.
But a Uefa report later cleared Reds fans of any wrong-doing and the organisation blamed its own poor planning and the French police for the appalling scenes.
