, German soccer followers are recognized to take a tough line on the problem of away UCL ticketing costs. Considered one of FC Bayern München’s largest extremely societies has fired a predictable opening salvo forward of a December Champions’ League fixture in opposition to Shakhtar Donetsk to be hosted on the Veltins Enviornment in Gelsenkirchen.
After it was revealed that the Ukrainian membership seeks to cost upwards of €52 for away followers to attend the match, and use a progressive pricing system that may drive the value increased as soon as fewer tickets turn into accessible, the extremely group “Südkurve München” introduced that they might be boycotting the match.
“Do not be fooled and boycott the away sport at Shakhtar Donetsk,” the extremely group’s Sunday-released assertion pink, ”Stand for truthful pricing and in opposition to prime match surcharges!”
It stays to be seen if different extremely teams will comply with go well with. To position issues into context, the €52 price ticket constitutes an enormous deviation for regular German Champions’ League ticket costs. Even the November UCL match in opposition to PSG on the Allianz, for instance, will be attended for as little as €19.
