Europe also needs to eliminate scalpers! The tickets for the Champions League finals are up to 4,300 euros

9 days before the Munich Champions League finale, the ticket purchase demand of Inter Milan fans has exceeded the 300,000 mark, far exceeding the 18,000 quota allocated by UEFA. The imbalance in supply and demand directly gave birth to a sky-high scalper ticket market. According to authoritative sports media, the current ticket prices leaked on second-hand trading platforms have soared to 18 times the official selling price, triggering UEFA's emergency activation of the anti-ticket reversal mechanism.

Alliance Stadium, the final venue, can accommodate 64,500 spectators, but only 36% of the seats are allocated to the clubs of both sides of the finals. After the official ticketing channel was closed, a large number of premium ticket sources emerged on third-party platforms: basic tickets (original price of 180 euros) are priced at 3,000 euros in non-squad fans. If you need to ensure that you are in the Nerazzurri cheering camp, you will have to pay 4,300 euros. The most exaggerated VIP package price has risen to 32,000 euros, equivalent to the half-year income of ordinary working people.

In response to ticket chaos, UEFA introduced dual defense measures: first, implement the binding of ticket purchase information, and electronic ticket information must be verified through designated equipment when entering the venue; second, establish a ticket traceability system to strictly investigate resale behaviors that do not match the identity information. The event organizer specifically reminds that there is a legal risk of being denied entry by purchasing tickets through informal channels. Behind this showdown between the rich, another ticketing offensive and defensive battle without gunpowder has already staged.
