Champions League final. Along with the World Cup finals, the most watched match in the world, which millions of fans are eager to reach. But only a select few will get this opportunity, or those who do not mind paying a proper package.
Real Madrid and Liverpool made it to this year’s Champions League final of 2021/22. Immediately after the magical turn against Manchester City, thousands of Los Blancos fans around the world began looking for tickets to the finals in Paris. But they hit hard.
The Stade de France, where the finals will take place, has a capacity of 75,000 spectators. However, UEFA offered both clubs only 20,000 tickets, sent 12,000 tickets to the lottery, and kept the remaining 23,000 for itself and its partners. Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp also criticized this a lot.
“When we get 20,000, they too, where’s the remaining 35,000? It’s about money, that’s right, UEFA has never been holy. Now they’ve lost some money, so the easiest way is to get it back by raising ticket prices. “ criticized Klopp.
And what about the lottery? UEFA has sold 12,000 tickets on its website, for which you had to submit an application by April 28, before it was clear who would advance to the finals. UEFA subsequently selected by lot of all applicants those who will be given the right to buy tickets. Prices range from 70 euros to 690 euros.
But the interest in them was so huge that the chances of reaching a ticket are practically slim. Just like winning a lottery in sports.
How to get tickets?
So what’s the next chance to get tickets to the finals? Real Madrid sent emails to its socios (partners) who had a chance to buy tickets. However, due to the small number (20,000) of tickets allocated, Los Blancos also had to draw lots among their partners to buy a ticket. Tickets allocated to Liverpool were also dismantled by season tickets.
There is a third option, it is already gaining real contours, but not financially. And that is the purchase from third parties, through intermediaries. However, it is necessary to realize that these companies will heal well at the following events, so prices are climbing to dizzying heights.
Two verified sellers sell tickets for the finals on the Czech market. Czechsporttravel offers a ticket to Paris for CZK 90,190. The football tour goes even higher and offers one ticket from CZK 121,300.
Abroad, we find tickets a little cheaper. Ticombo offers entry to the competition between Real Madrid and Liverpool for 2,750 euros, in terms of 68,830 CZK. The Livefootballtickets website offers tickets from £ 2,840, which costs CZK 82,900. Don’t buy tickets at any cost from Viagogo, which has a long history of ticket fraud and is not a verified seller.
Many fans will have to watch the finals at home or in a pub. At least, as in previous years, Real Madrid will offer its fans watching on large screens at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the price of one ticket is 5 euros, and the socios have free entry.
