CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: General ticket sales for Moscow close

/noticias.info/ Ticket sales to the general public for the 2008 UEFA Champions League final in Moscow have closed.

Decided by lottery
The international general public ticket sales process – exclusively via uefa.com – began on 28 February and ended today, 19 March, at 12.00CET. The allocation will be decided by lottery, with every valid application entering the ballot, independently of the time of submission within the application period. Each successful candidate will be entitled to a maximum of two tickets.

Key date
Applicants will be informed via email by 2 April at the latest whether they have been successful or not, and tickets will be dispatched from mid-April by secure mailing. It will not be possible to log on to the Ticket Portal until 12.00CET on 2 April, when applicants will be able to check the status of their application.

Finalist tickets
The UEFA Champions League final takes place at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Wednesday 21 May at 20.45CET (22.45 local time), with the UEFA Champions League final capacity set at 69,500. Three-quarters of the tickets are reserved for the general public and supporters of the two finalists. Each finalist is able to take up to 21,000 tickets and distribute these directly to its supporters, while 10,500 tickets were made available for sale to fans worldwide via uefa.com.

Applicants vetted
Online applications will be checked to ensure that anyone banned from attending football matches is unsuccessful in any attempt to purchase tickets. UEFA underlines that no tickets are being distributed via agencies or brokers. UEFA also encourages fans not to be lured into deals with touts who not only demand exorbitant prices, but are often not in possession of the tickets they purport to have for sale. notas_de_prensa_archivo
