The Champions League is one of the most anticipated sporting events every year. The two best teams in Europe face off under the spotlight to be crowned kings of Europe. Even talking about it builds excitement, knowing that the world’s top stars will be showcasing their skills in the most high-pressure environment possible.

Most teams will never even reach the final. After all, there are thousands of teams across Europe and only two can feature. However, the teams that have the chance to play there will then be supported by their passionate and loyal fans. Everyone wants a ticket to the biggest game on the national calendar, which makes the idea of ​​securing a spot more stressful than it should be.

With the 2024 Champions League final approaching and two players from Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in attendance, GIVEMESPORT has outlined everything you need to know about how to get tickets for the final at Wembley on June 1st. The “home of football” has not hosted Europe’s biggest match since 2013, when Bayern became kings of the continent by beating bitter rivals Borussia Dortmund 2-1. We could have the same thing this year, 11 years later.

Ballot

UEFA has its own system in place for the Champions League final, which is hardly surprising when it is its main event. The bulk of tickets are distributed to fans of each finalist, 25,000 each, meaning only 10,000 tickets are distributed to the general public. Wembley welcomes over 90,000 people, but a significant percentage of those attending will be in hospitality or corporate sales.

The general public ticket request window opened on April 9, 2024 and closed on April 16, 2024. Therefore, this means that if you missed this date, you will no longer be able to submit a ticket purchase request. tickets. Applicants who have applied, regardless of which teams reach the final, will receive an email notification with the result of their application no later than early May 2024. After the semi-final matches, another lottery will be held among those who apply. have decided to apply only if their team qualifies.

If you are one of the fans who wins a “Golden Ticket”, you will receive an email to purchase tickets. There will be a specific deadline to purchase them, not yet disclosed by UEFA, before they are transferred to other supporters. Fans who will be able to attend the biggest game of the season will be able to purchase two tickets together in the seat category for which they requested. They will sit together as long as they are part of the same order.

Tickets via finalists

Each club participating in the final will receive 25,000 tickets each for the final. Considering that the stadium, one of the most expensive ever built, can accommodate almost 90,000 people, it has drawn criticism that only a little more than half the stadium would be filled with supporters of the teams involved. To be able to obtain one of these tickets, supporters must have a season ticket at one of the clubs.

They will have their own system in place for attending, but the most loyal fans will likely be able to snag their seat first before it moves down the ladder. As always, there is always the chance that club members will have the chance to purchase a ticket, but most season ticket holders get them to watch history in front of their own eyes first. All tickets will be priced at £60, thanks to UEFA’s ‘Fans First’ scheme.

Ticket prices

Unsurprisingly, ticket prices are incredibly high for the biggest match on the European football calendar. As previously mentioned, supporters’ tickets for each team cost £60 each. However, if you applied via the UEFA ballot, you won’t have the same chance. Category 1 seats cost £610 and are located in the main and opposite stands, or behind the goals in the middle tier of the stadium.

Category 2 seats cost £430 and are located in the corners, or in the main and opposite stands, above Category 1 seats.​​ Meanwhile, Category 3 seats cost £160 and are located in corners and behind the goals, further from the pitch than Category 2 seats. You may be over the moon, but you’ll still pay an incredibly high price to watch the two best teams in Europe. He embodies the modern state of the sport.

Ticket resale platform

Unlike most major matches in Europe, there is no ticket resale platform for supporters. They cannot be distributed to other members of the public to purchase, so you get your money back. UEFA states that all sales are final, so tickets “cannot be canceled or returned”, while their terms and conditions strictly state that they cannot be sold to third parties or websites. Ticketing.

However, if the worst happens and you can’t attend the final, you can transfer your ticket to a friend or family member via the dedicated mobile app. It will be up to you to arrange payment, but you have a lifetime guarantee if illness or a personal emergency prevents you from attending the match at the ‘home of football’.

Hospitality

As is now the case for the world’s best football matches, thousands of tickets will be allocated to corporate partners and hospitality hotels. If you’re desperate to attend the final, especially if your team is competing and has financial freedom, hospitality could be your answer. In doing so, you will benefit from a first-class service that will have nothing to do with the typical football experience.

With countless options, there may be nothing better available. GIVEMESPORT presented all hospitality options according to UEFA. They all include a welcome drink, match program and extended service.

Skybox Private Gold

This is the most high-profile option available in the Champions League final – and it seems out of the ordinary. Located in a skybox in the corner or main stand at Wembley, you get a match ticket in this box, a premium dining experience before and after the match, unlimited champagne and – remarkably – an official ball of the final of the Champions League. This all sounds amazing, but buying it will cost you over £6,900.

Prestige Restaurant

Another option is the Prestige Restaurant, which gives you access to a restaurant offering world-class cuisine before and after the match, located inside the Wembley Arena (just outside the main stadium). At the same time, you benefit from a category 1 ticket to attend the world-famous match. You can also listen to live music after the match, but – unfortunately – it is currently sold out on the UEFA website.

Prestige

Hospitality options continue to evolve and the Prestige Option, a slight downgrade from the Prestige Restaurant, could be perfect for you. It also gives you access to Wembley Arena, but it’s a lounge where you’ll enjoy a contemporary dining experience in a relaxed, football atmosphere. This will come with post-match entertainment after watching the event from a Category 1. However, it will still cost over £5,900.

Champagne and Seafood Bar

As its name suggests, the “Champagne and Seafood Bar” focuses on champagne. You can get unlimited amounts of alcoholic drinks, accompanied by a plated dinner. With seafood like salmon and caviar, it’s an incredibly sophisticated option, with the Category 2 match ticket allowing you to watch the event from a great location. All of this takes place within the stadium, unlike the previous two options.
