Fans Outcry Over Limited Europa League Final Tickets in Dublin
April 11, 2024Arsenal and Liverpool fans are frustrated by limited ticket allocations for the Europa League final in Dublin, with each finalist getting only 12,000 tickets.
A total of 36,000 tickets for the final at Aviva Stadium will be available for general sale, with prices ranging from €65 to €150.
Irish fans have a window from April 9 to April 16 to apply for tickets, with the option to declare allegiance to one of the eight teams still in the tournament.
Football Supporters Europe has criticized UEFA's allocation as insufficient, advocating for at least 66% of tickets to be reserved for team supporters.
UEFA has committed to offering affordable seating options for both Europa League and Champions League finals, despite fans' concerns over travel and accommodation costs.
For the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium, 60,000 tickets are allocated to fans with prices starting at $76, while UEFA retains 26,000 for corporate and VIP use.
