The sale of tickets for the Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan, scheduled for May 31 in Munich, caused a wave of frustration among Parisian supporters. The system implemented by the club, based on waves reserved for subscribers, quickly turned to the lottery. After a first phase advantageing the oldest subscribers, the second wave, opened on Tuesday, turned short: the remaining places took off in a few minutes, leaving many faithful from the Parc des Princes on the Carreau. The third wave of sale, initially envisaged, will not take place.
On social networks, testimonies of anger, collected by RMC Sporthave multiplied. Many denounce a total absence of transparency, unwarmed promises, and a given priority to resale or guests. Between technical bugs, emails received too late and unsuccessful queues, the management of the Parisian club is deemed unworthy of a club of this scale. Some even demand official figures on the quotas of tickets actually put up for sale, and castigate a ticket office deemed disappointing, and dispensers' business practices.
