Liverpool fans are outraged, accusing UEFA of hypocrisy

However, among them, each participating team can only receive 20,000 tickets for fans as well as the families of the players and team staff. The next 12,000 tickets will be freely sold by UEFA to any fan around the world. The remaining 23,000 tickets are invitation tickets for UEFA sponsors, organizers and guests.

Even UEFA does not want to reduce the price for people over 65 years old or under 16 years old. Child-adult policies used to exist, but have now been repealed.

Outraged by UEFA’s greedy behavior, a loyal Liverpool fan association called the Spirit of Shankly (SOS) has sent a letter to president Aleksander Ceferin to protest the policy of the European Football Authority.

In the letter, SOS accused UEFA of hypocrisy because despite condemning the greed of Super League clubs, their ticket sales have increased by 38% in the past four years.

“Since 2018 when Liverpool played Real Madrid for the last time in the final, UEFA ticket sales have increased from €3.06 million to €4.22 million, representing a 38 percent increase over four years. . .

When standing up to fight for the failed Super League, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said: ‘I don’t understand how the club can look at its fans in protest and still show no interest. Even if they don’t have enough money in their pockets, they are not poor, but they want more and more every day.’

Mr. Ceferin, Liverpool fans are protesting and you don’t seem to care. UEFA is not poor, but you seem to want more and more.

We were tired of being ignored all the time. Too depressed to see my team reach the final, but can’t get tickets because of the exorbitant price.” SOS group expressed displeasure.

Coach Jurgen Klopp recently also mentioned this issue in the press conference before the match against Spurs tonight. The German strategist did not hesitate to criticize UEFA for selling too expensive tickets to Liverpool fans who want to attend the Champions League final.

“The support from the fans was unbelievable. I’m so grateful to them for that. Then when you see the ticket prices, the hotel prices, the number of tickets allocated… we only had 20,000 tickets, Real Madrid too. only 20,000 tickets, in a 75,000-seat stadium. So where did the remaining 35,000 tickets go? UEFA are not the saints of football, they never were.” Klopp said.
