Apparently have only been given 9,800 tickets for the Europa league final :lolol:

According to angry Chelsea fans all over twitter.

At the Amsterdam Arena, which has a capacity of 53,000! That is seriously outrageous.

Can't stand Chelsea but, seriously, 33,000 out of 53,000 tickets going to UEFA's 'family' and not to fans of the two clubs in the final is simply scandalous.

Imagine if we got there, and got 9,800 tickets?! Wish someone would stand up to the corrupt crooks that run the international football federations.

Michel Platini all over. I wonder what his explanation is? And I bet he's the next president of FIFA.

For the Champions League final, aren't the two clubs getting about 30k each? Under 10k is ridiculous.

just another example of UEFA's contempt against English football fans and clubs.

eh? There's more to this thread than the title?

I only opened it to agree with that, and find some chat about Europa cup tickets?

But you know another 5000 or more will find there way back to Chelsea fans at vastly inflated prices. Who said corrupt?

or locals, in fairness. Assume they were on general sale at some point.

Shit competition anyway.

It appears to be really quite harsh but, from the other side, I wonder how many Chelsea fans have actually been going to the Europa matches rather than moaning it's a second rate competition (until they got to the quarter-finals anyway).

If it works out that the 9.9k is enough to cover (and allocated to) those that've followed the team all over the place during the tournament then at least those that deserve a ticket won't miss out.

Doubt it'll go that way though.

To be fair, how many clubs take 10k fans to Europa league finals? Most go on general sale earlier in the year, so not like the rest go to sponsors or whatever.
