UEFA set to investigate illegal tickets issue (Source- Twitter)
The UEFA Champions Leaue 2023/24 season is almost in the verge of the end as the European Competition have just one game left. The final of the UCL will be played at the iconic Wembley Stadium, on June 1st with Real Madrid facing Borussia Dortmund in the ultimate game of the club competition. This is the last season for the older format of the tournament as from next season there will be newer format instead of 32 teams there will be 36 teams.
The UEFA have already released the tickets for the final, the official ticket prices for this season's final at Wembley Stadium, with the most expensive 'Prime Seats' coming in at £2,900. But there has been some problem as per the reports, by Dailymail, the prices for the UEFA Champions League final have skyrocketed, with resellers asking over €50,000 for a single seat at Wembley.
As per the Dailymail, they founded a resale website named footballticketnet.com, on Wednesday selling 'prime seats' for the final between Madrid and Dortmund for a unbelivable range of £100,000 plus a £34,000 booking fee. The very similar kind of a price for the 'VIP' tickets was £100,500 once the everything was included. The capacity of the 90,000-seat stadium previously played hosted two finals in the 2011 and 2013 Champions League finals.
UEFA to investigate the matter
UEFA is investigating the fact for the rise of the ticket, as the fans are furious with the fact that the tickets are being blacked by some random websites. As unauthorised sale of sports tickets is a criminal crime under UK law, and officials have promised to act after being notified about the matter.
A UEFA spokesperson said, "All ticket holders are bound by the ticketing terms and conditions and UEFA will take action in case of any breaches. UEFA urges all football fans to refrain from purchasing tickets or hospitality packages from unauthorised sellers, agents or websites, as such tickets may be counterfeit or invalid and an unaware purchaser may be refused admission to the stadium."
