Final ticket policy explained by Uefa
Filed Under: Champions League
Uefa put 10,500 tickets for the upcoming champion’s league final in Moscow on 21st may on its own website. The tickets were put on the website for the purpose of public sale. Last year the final was held in Athens and the event faced many unpleasant incidents as many Liverpool fans arrived at the match without tickets owing to the clash with the Italians in AC Milan. But this time Uefa has made other arrangements. It has decided to allocate each club with 21,000 tickets, provided the clubs are competing in the final in May. The Uefa spokes person William Gaillard told the BBC that this time 75% of the tickets will go to the fans whereas last time the figure was 65%.
Uefa also explained that it is very impractical that all the people will go to the matches of the two concerned clubs. So the Uefa has decided to make tickets available to all the fans throughout Europe and also to the local fans of Moscow. And according to the Uefa spokesperson there will be many people who will be willing to see such a prestigious match irrespective of the club and team barriers.
The match is going to be held in the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow and the stadium will have a capacity of about 75,000 seats. There will be some exceptions as not many countries have such stadiums. But the Uefa explains that even if the stadium was able to cater to 150,000 people the requirement would not have been met.
