500,000 Dortmund fans apply for final tickets

[Peever]

Half a million Dortmund fans eye Champions League final tickets - ESPN FC

Few disappointed people then......

There's me thinking we had a lot of plastic fans

A bit harsh. They have a massive local fan base and hold a record for the most people in a single place watching a game (or something similar) when they played a title winning game at their ground and had a big screen also showing the game in an adjacent park.

Regardless... That's still a lot of JCLs.

Where were they when they were shit etc.

The record was set a number of years ago (me thinks someones needs to brush up on their German football knowledge and how big a club Dortmund are) They are the trail blazers of German european football.

How many STHs do they have? Presumably the 20-odd thousand tickets should be divided up amongst them?

Around 50,000 apparently.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

That should probably read "500,000 Germans" - The population of Dortmund is only 500,000

Correct, but the Ruhr valley urban region where Dortmund sits is over 5 million.

 

[Triggaaar]

Give 'em all a ticket, what's the worth that could happen.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Around 50,000 apparently.

Is there any reason why they haven't restricted applications to STHs only?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Surely the biggest league in the world in terms of attendances. Some massive clubs in Germany.

I have no idea how they are allocating tickets.

Dortmund are a MASSIVE club!

although i'm confused.... they dont have 500,000 ST holders? I know the yellow wall is huge but come on!

so 25k tickets they've been allocated... surely all ST holders just apply and go into a ballot (cant be more than 60k of them?) or better still just do a loyalty points system...

and germans are meant to be the organised and efficient ones...

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

surely all ST holders just apply and go into a ballot

Along with anyone else who might be entitled to a ticket I guess, given 500000 applied. I presume they just work their way through the priority groups until they're sold out.

Only 1 in 20 will get tickets!

Meaning perhaps a father goes but the son can't in some cases.

I don't understand this though, Wembley holds 90,000, surely both terms should get half?

 

[Vicar!]

Correct, but the Ruhr valley urban region where Dortmund sits is over 5 million.

and they don't all support Doofmund!! Seriously though the rules at Schalke allocate tickets to those who have been to the previous away CL games. Very fair way.

Nowhere near - there' shedloads of corporates for the CL final.

24,000 tickets for each club. Rest to corporate
