Ticket allocation for the European finals

[St Eve]

Absolute disgrace. I feel sorry for all of the real fans

[Andy S]

What is the allocation?

[St Eve]

6,000 each for Europa and 16,000 each for CL

[Twig]

And the venue in Baku holds nearly 69,000 so a total allocation of 12,000 to the 2 finalists is considerably less than 20%. Another example of the corrupt administrators using the game to further their own ends and line their pockets. Disgusting.

[Milo]

Just read the article on this. Astonishing!

[bog]

It has always been like this, a complete farce. The Championship play off final is one of the few occasions when both teams get about 36,000.

Nobody objects until they get there. But hey it is not a league made up of champions and runners up it is much more. A club for the richest clubs and the tv companies

[sunburywhite]

And there are no direct or easy flights there from the UK

Its all about the bung

[Milo]

£500 flights. It's far away.

I'd make the effort to go to a Georgia if I was heading in that direction. Great food and wine.

im not joking but it is transcontinental part Europe part Asia
the country that is

Azerbaijan is, of course, an oil rich former member of the USSR with borders to Iran, Russia, Georgia, and Armenia, all of which I am sure the selection of the Olympic Stadium in Baku as the venue for the Europa Final had nothing to do with ....

The CL is dissapointing, but expected silly numbers like that. The EL however I am astounded by - it's shocking. That said, what will we ever do? Boycott? No chance.

Indeed

[Wingnut]

Thought about applying for CL final tickets this year but the price of them turned me off. Category one was €500.

[F(f)CUK]

I know the mayor of Baku and other people in the Municipality and continue to spend a reasonable amount of time there. I have found them to be really nice people and fantastic hosts.  I avoid being there for events as hotel prices rocket by up to 20 times the normal amount.

[ProfficerFFC]

Continental finals should be two legged anyway - home and away. No stupid neutral venues.
