      Jesus christ, that's ridiculous.

      I had one crazy thought of trying to get a ticket myself (even though I have no idea of how it works) if we reached the final, it would be a brilliant first trip to Europe. Now I think it wouldnt have not even a small chance of happening.

      Makes sense to me actually. It's not just corporations and sponsors that all these other tickets have gone to, they mostly went to football fans, international ones but in this case also many germans. International general public ticket sales already started in february and ended in march, and the german sales were even before that, they ended in january. This is normal with tournaments and finals these days. Same with the World Cup, you can already get tickets now for the finals without knowing who plays. Not too bothered by it.

      If they want this contest to be fair, Athletico have to travel the same number of hours as we are doing. Otherwise its not a fair 2 legged tie.

      That just shows that UEFA, FIFA,EPL etc.. Dont care about the fans or supporters.  Its whoever can pay to have their name on the side boards or who can pay to put their name on the jersey.  How many F***ing Heineken commercials and adverts do you see during the Champions league matches.

      Now this means 30,000 plus seats of people who really dont give a F**k about football but blow into those annoying, plastic goddamn horns and throw streamers and beach balls around like its a beach party.  Assholes. The real supporters who would give their arms to be at these matches are forced out by high ticket prices or just not given any chance at all to buy tickets.  So UEFA is going to have a Cup final in Europe and guaranteed their will be huge sections of empty seats...Disgrace.

      Corporations are ruining sports all over the world. They destroyed every sport in the US and made it Impossible to get tickets for the Superbowl or World Series or Stanley Cup....then you watch on TV and their's empty seats and entire sections empty for a championship final.

      How very true, but to be fair, we Americans are lazy when it comes to following teams to different events. The only event I know of that has fans travelling long distances is The NCAA tournament.

      It does not surprise or shock me one bit.

      I am sure those 12,000 will do us proud though.

      Its all done to push ticket prices up. Platini knows exactly what he's doin.When its Liverpool playing the little Dog pops in the Vatican and prays for trouble.He knows ticket shortage causes desperation and when people become dseperate well,anything can happen which is just what the little bummer wants when it comes to "Ze Ingleash Peegs" :f_steam:

      Not having a go, but where do the majority of those tickets end up, in the hands of touts and on the black market, should of made more than 12,000 available to the competing teams, but then again they have to sort out the Uefa family first and the corporate cu*ts!

      Nothing new there then?

      If we get to the final, that won't stop us taking the ground over.

      I was thinking the very same when i saw the release of this news on sky sports news. Think back to both Istanbul and Athens when we completely dominated the stands in both European finals, i can't see it being any different even if we play Hamburg themselves.

      Typical!!whoever we plan in the final, its gonna be a knightmare!!Hamburg, we will just be surrounded by Germans, and if its Fulham,  what a knightmare with 80000 people trying to get to Germany potentially.

      I'm sure it won't be as bad as being surrounded by Italians! Anyone who went to Rome in 1984 will tell you that.

      And like F**k Fulham will take anywhere near the same numbers as us if they get to the final.
