Champions League Final Match Ticket Goes Public

-

The 2015 UEFA Champions League final ticket portal is open for orders from the internatio­nal public between 12.00CET on Thursday 5 March and 18.00CET on Monday 23 March. The portal is accessible exclusivel­y through UEFA.com.

The internatio­nal general public tickets are intended for neutral supporters wishing to attend the Berlin final. Fans of the finalists will be served directly by their clubs. Applicants can apply for a maximum of two tickets per person (in the same price category) by completing the online applicatio­n form.

Once the sales window is closed, a lottery will determine which supporters are allocated tickets for the Berlin showpiece. It makes no difference when the applicatio­n is made during the sales phase as all requests will be processed together. Any ticket order that is not in accordance with the 2015 UEFA Champions League final ticketing terms and conditions will be rejected.

Payment for all tickets is by credit card only. Applicants using a MasterCard for their applicatio­n will double their chances to be successful in the lottery and to receive tickets. Successful applicants’ credit cards will be charged automatica­lly and no changes or cancellati­ons will be accepted after 23 March (18.00CET).

Applicants will be informed via email by 10 April as to whether they have succeeded or not in the lottery. Also, applicants will be able to check the status of their orders using the 2015 UEFA Champions League final ticket portal. Tickets will be dispatched to the registered address no later than the end of April.

Category one ticket will go for €390 while the next category is fixed at €280 just as category three and four was put at €160 and €70 respective­ly.

Accessible tickets for wheelchair users and easy access tickets are also available. A valid proof of disability needs to be provided during the applicatio­n. Each accessible ticket costs €70; a free seat for an accompanyi­ng adult can be requested as well.

All ticket holders are bound by the ticketing terms and conditions and UEFA will take action in cases of any breaches. Online applicatio­ns will be verified with the competent authoritie­s to ensure that anyone banned from attending football matches cannot purchase tickets.

Sales of tickets for the 2015 UEFA Champions League final will be conducted exclusivel­y on UEFA. com. UEFA urges all fans to refrain from buying tickets or hospitalit­y packages from unauthoris­ed sellers, agents or websites as such tickets may be counterfei­t or invalid, and the unaware purchaser will be refused admission to the stadium.

Supporters attending the final are warned that tickets will be personalis­ed and that the security staff at the stadium will run ID checks. Therefore, make sure to have your ID with you in order to enter the stadium.
