UEFA Sets Champions League Final Ticket Price From €70

Tickets for the men’s Champions League final in Budapest will start at €70 with a lottery deciding the allocation for the general public, UEFA said yesterday.

The final will be on 30 May at Puskas Arena in the Hungarian capital.

Fans will also be able to attend the women’s Champions League final at Oslo’s Ullevaal Stadium on 23 May for as little as €20, with tickets on sale from Monday for all UEFA club competition finals.

The pricing structure stands in contrast to major international tournaments such as the World Cup and the European Championship, where ticket prices are typically far higher and have drawn criticism from supporters.

Applications are open through UEFA’s ticket portal, with sales for the Champions League final closing on 19 March.

Tickets will then be allocated through a lottery rather than sold on a first-come, first-served basis or through dynamic pricing models increasingly used at major sporting events.

UEFA said the majority of tickets for the four finals will go to supporters of the participating teams and the general public, with more than 40 per cent of capacity for the Champions League final reserved for fans in the two lowest price categories.

Prices for the Europa League final in Istanbul on May 20 start at €40, while the Conference League final in Leipzig on May 27 begins at €25.
