First Major Controversy in Champions League Final Between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund as Club Warns Fans of Ticket Scams

 

Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are asking fans to be alert to ticket scams and their consequences ahead of the Champions League final showdown at Wembley on June 1st. 

With so many requests for just 25,000 tickets, both clubs have issued warnings to Dortmund and Madrid fans ahead of the final that purchasing tickets and authorisation codes via unauthorised channels is strictly prohibited.

Fans must be vigilant when they see tickets for the final on sale via unauthorised and unofficial platforms. Only tickets purchased directly from the clubs are legitimate.

Ticket Purchase Platforms to Avoid

It has been strongly advised to avoid purchasing tickets or authorisation codes from unauthorised platforms. These include but are not limited to sites such as Viagogo, StubHub, eBay or classified ads. 

These platforms have not been authorised by Madrid or Dortmund to sell tickets for the final and is not only risky to purchase, but violates the General Ticket Terms and Conditions and UEFA’s General Terms and Conditions.
