Liverpool and Real Madrid supporters will share just over 60 per cent of available tickets for the Champions League final in Kiev, it has been revealed.
No sooner were fans of both clubs celebrating progress than their familiar frustrations surfaced.
Kiev’s Olympic Stadium has a 70,050 capacity, which will be reduced to 63,000 for the fixture on May 26. Liverpool and Real Madrid will receive 16,626 tickets each from Uefa, well short of the demand for two of the best supported clubs in world football.
In addition, a further 6,700 tickets will be made available to “worldwide supporters” which will probably end up in the hands of Liverpool and Real fans.
The remaining seats are occupied by hospitality members, rights holders, commercial partners, officials, players past and present and assorted media. Of those available for fans, the cheapest are priced £48 for restricted view, or £61 for a category four ticket. There are about 2,660 of those available.
The bulk – about 8,479 – are priced between £109 and £140. Another 4,489 cost between £223 and £280, and the most expensive are bracketed between £315 and £394.
