World Cup sticker albums 'cost average of £450 to complete'

Swiss mathematicians reportedly calculate that it will cost around £450 to complete a World Cup sticker album.

Research has reportedly shown that it would cost someone on average around £450 to complete a World Cup sticker album.

The current Panini book holds 640 stickers with packets of six costing 50p each, which would make the total cost of filling the album £63.99.

However, according to the Daily Mail, two mathematicians in Switzerland have calculated that, allowing for duplicates, around 899 packets will need to be bought, which raises the total to £449.50.

The tournament in Brazil gets underway next week on June 12.
