Champions League Final Ticket Allocation

We are going to see how much fans matter to UEFA, that is certain.

Whoever we play in the final will mean mass transit of fans from two different cities and possibly two different countries to a third country on another continent that is possibly entering lockdown. It is the definition of fucking stupidity.

Last year the final should have been in Istanbul and they moved it to Lisbon, although it was a mini knockout tournament. It appears UEFA must feel they owe Istanbul the final ( I would love to know what sort of money changed hands to give them the final)

Unfortunately this super league nonsense will only strengthen UEFAs hand and as they are unaccountable to anyone but themselves they can do as they wish with no regard to supporters desires.

The sensible thing to do if City and Chelsea reach the final is to play the game at Wembley, trials have already been done, fans have attended games and it would not mean the mass transit of thousands of fans across a continent packed into flying steel tubes. That may mean the UEFA planned jollies for their bigwigs and sponsors are changed though and will UEFA put bigwigs and sponsors before the safety of fans in the middle of a worldwide pandemic, no will they fuck.

If Madrid reach the final, only one set of supporters need travel, so toss a coin for the venue, the Bernabeu or the Etihad. Bayern played a CL Final at the Allianz against Chelsea so its been done before. Although again that will depend on what rules our idiots in Government decide to implement. All this football fan fairness stuff emanating from their mouths in the wake of the Super League protests may prove they do not give two fucks either.

Their is also the option of delaying the final like they delayed the final of Copa Del Rey in Spain. They delayed it by 12 months until it was safer to be played. Again UEFA will not do that because of corporate jollies.

One thing is certain, all this stuff about football being nothing without the fans will mean fuck all to UEFA because they don't give two fucks about fans. It is a chance for them too to prove they are the body to trust in the wake of the Super League fiasco but they are so self centred I doubt they have the capacity to think that way.

That makes me think reaching the final is a bitter sweet moment, of course I want our club to be Champions of Europe but I also want as many of our fans there as possible to witness the occasion, i want them all to be safe and I want them all to be able to have a chance of getting a ticket, but being a final on another continent with hardly any of our fans there is cruel and we do not deserve that. We deserve to be there because we were there in the dark days and we never lost our faith or belief that our day would come.

I want to be at the game more than any game in my life, but sadly I do not think I will be there, that hurts. UEFA have the power to make dreams come true, they could act on behalf of fans, will they though, I do not think so. Because they do not give a fuck about fans, they care about UEFA and their priviliged positions.
 
If someone offered you a ticket what would you pay, I know it’s wrong but bet they would be at least £500

It depends on travel restrictions really. At the 2003 final at Old Trafford between Milan and Juventus, they were going for cover price outside the ground (£50). I know a taxi driver who took Milan fans from the airport into town and they offered him a match ticket as payment. Different era admittedly, but when travel is not straightforward they can be incredibly difficult to shift.

Hope so

To be fair the Ataturk Stadium is on the European side of the Bosphorus, a good 13 miles from being on another continent.
