So let me get this straight.

The European rugby final didn’t sell out. But that’s OK, because neither did Celtics European soccer final in 1970.

Throw in some Scottish cup games, world cup preliminary round games, leinster/Munster games from the 80s and limerick league hurling semi final.

What the fuck are ye even discussing?

This isn’t a discussion of course it’s not. It’s a point scoring session.

the pretend lads need to be honest with the forum

It was sold out.

The only thing missing is the GAA is going from strength to strength because over 90,000 attended the 1961 AI Football Final.

12 - Tickets for the final in Milan on sale on UEFA.com from Tuesday 1 March at midday

Ticket sales for the 2016 UEFA Champions League final will start on Tuesday 1 March at 12.00CET exclusively via UEFA.com, and will run until 18.00CET on Monday 14 March.

As usual, fans and the general public are being allocated the majority of the tickets for the final, which will be played at Stadio San Siro in Milan on Saturday 28 May, kicking off at 20.45CET.

A total of 46,000 tickets for the net stadium capacity of 71,500 are available to fans and the general public, with the two finalist teams receiving 20,000 each and 6,000 tickets being available for sale to fans worldwide via UEFA.com. The remaining tickets are allocated to the local organising committee, UEFA and national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters, and to serve the corporate hospitality programme.

For the sales process on UEFA.com, tickets will not be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Instead, a ballot will be conducted to allocate the tickets once the sales period has ended.

As in previous years, UEFA consulted the independent Football Supporters Europe network (FSE) when setting ticket prices for this year’s final.

The price categories available for the general public are: Category 1: €440, Category 2: €320, Category 3: €160, Category 4: €70, and youth package: €140 (two Category 2 tickets – one adult and one child under 14 - sold at discounted Category 4 rate). Accessibility tickets for disabled spectators are available for €70 (ticket priced at Category 4 rate and one companion ticket provided for free).

Applicants can apply for up to two tickets per person. The tickets will be personalised, and each applicant is required to provide their personal details on the ticket portal.

They will be informed via email by Friday 8 April as to whether their application has been successful or not. They will also be able to check the status of their application on the ticket portal with their log-in information. Tickets will be delivered by courier by no later than mid-April.

Don’t mind that cunt, even when Galway only had to win two matches to win the AI most of them would still wait for the final.

I really don’t know, there were less people there announced by UEFA in a stadium the same size as 15 years prior. 7k as announced by UEFA.

If UEFA couldn’t flog all the tickets they hold back for corporates that isn’t sold out.

They announced 71,500 tickets for public sale in March.

Can you not read?

@Tim_Riggins

So UEFA claim 7k seats disappeared in 15 years from the San Siro or did they lie in 2001? Lot of round figures attendances for UEFA Finals I notice.

Also there was 71,942 announced by UEFA but they say the capacity (with several thousand seats disappearing in 15 years) was 71,500.

Yes. The San Siro has a reduced capacity under UEFA regulations. That is why there were 71,500 tickets announced for general sale - the final sold out as the CL final tends to year on year.

Why did it go down from 79k in 2001?

The San Siro say themselves the capacity is 80k

Let’s take away 2-3k for stewards keeping the apes from attacking one another, where are the other seats gone? Certainty in 2001 they claimed 79k in the same stadium.

If UEFA couldn’t flog all their corporates that’s their fault.

Because the capacity was reduced by UEFA.

They didn’t need to flog tickets, there were no tickets to flog, it was a sell out.

Nembo has won

Tim arguing against the facts

I never said it wasn’t a sell out pal, I just asked some questions.
