Arsenal and Chelsea fans will share 12,000 of 68,700 seats in Baku.

Liverpool and Tottenham fans will share 33,226 tickets for the Madrid final, which takes place in a stadium with 68,000 seats.

Supporters will need a visa to enter Azerbaijan and London-based fans face a journey of more than 2,468 miles to Baku Olympic Stadium.

Klopp said: "How can you have finals in Kiev [where Liverpool played last year's Champions League final] and Baku? I don't know what these travel guys have for breakfast."

Uefa said its "recent experience" with finals in "comparable venues" meant "the number of finalists' supporters requesting tickets for a Uefa Europa League final can vary greatly from club to club".

"Of course, it is impossible to predict in advance which clubs will reach the final while the venue has to be chosen around two years in advance," it said in a statement.

"Taking into consideration the above and most importantly the geographical location and logistical capacity of airports in and around the host city, it was deemed that around 15,000 spectators would be able to travel from abroad (this includes finalists' fans and general public), with Baku as the main hub."

It added that "offering more tickets to fans of the participating teams, without any guarantee that they would be able to arrange suitable travel to reach Baku, was therefore not a responsible option".

"Based on these circumstances, for this year's UEFA Europa League final in Baku, 6,000 tickets have been made available to each of the finalists."


It's like UEFA are actively trying to piss off fans.

It's quite alright saying that they don't know who will reach the final, but you'd imagine on average any team capable of reaching the final would be wanting more than 6,000 tickets for their fans, no matter where the final is based.

But we all know the drill, these football bodies don't give a shit about the fans and they haven't for a long time.

I really don't understand why UEFA won't handle the situation with Mkhitaryan. The guy is missing a big final and its not even his fault, incredible.
