UEFA said that around one third of the 70,500 tickets for this year's Champions League final in Berlin "will be reserved for football officials, sponsors and corporate hospitality," according to Brian Homewood of REUTERS. UEFA said that 20,000 tickets "would be allocated to supporters of each of the two finalists, with another 6,000 going on sale to neutral fans via UEFA's website." UEFA said that prices for the match at the Olympiastadion on June 6 "would range" from €70 ($78) for category four tickets to €390 ($435) for category one (REUTERS, 3/3). In London, Oliver Todd wrote each club will be "allocated 20,000 tickets." That would be bad news for season-ticket holders from Chelsea (24,000), Man City (36,000) and Arsenal (45,000), "of whom a significant number would miss out." The ticket prices, split across four categories, "represent a price-freeze compared to last year's final." However, the 20,000 figure is more than Chelsea was given for its two most recent European finals in Munich (17,500) for the Champions League and Amsterdam (9,800) in the Europa League (DAILY MAIL, 3/3).
