UEFA Freezes Champions League Final Ticket Prices and Opens Lottery, Tightens Resale Rules

The governing body frames the move as a fan-first answer to World Cup resale rules widely criticized for excessive fees.

Overview

Tickets for the May 30 final in Budapest start at €70, with higher categories held at €180, €650 and €950, and disabled tickets priced at €70 with a free companion seat.
Each finalist receives 17,200 of 61,400 seats, with more than 40% of capacity in the two lowest price bands and over 22,000 tickets reserved for partners and federations.
A global lottery offers 4,600 tickets, requires mobile‑phone registration and makes the purchaser’s ticket non‑transferable, with Champions League applications closing March 19.
Resales are restricted to UEFA’s platform at face value with no seller fees, and only selected fans who were unsuccessful in the lottery can buy resale tickets.
UEFA also opened sales for other club finals with starting prices set at €20 for the women’s final, €40 for the Europa League and €25 for the Europa Conference League.
