ianb1547 3,776 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Apart from obvious answers relating to 1) they go for the money, 2) the sponsors run things. This season has seen two of the most prestigious European finals turning into debacles for fans for the Europa and Champions League finals. Our fans had numerous problems, all well documented that I don't need to repeat. Liverpool fans arriving at their ground early, as instructed to, and being pepper sprayed etc and the game being delayed. So, what has happened? Are the countries chosen (Spain and France) not able to accommodate fans in a way that promotes a good experience for visiting fans (or a particular set of fans) due to that country's 'policing model'? I also find it incredulous that an organisation the size of UEFA have absolutely no complaint/grievance procedure about their own actions/decisions. Instead, fans who are disgruntled have to fill in a questionnaire to a 'European fans group.' Really? In 2022? @The Dude Can you highlight this in an upcoming article? This season has shown UEFA for what they are, i.e. Not interested in fan experience. AGC123, plymouthranger, Bad Robot and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayro 3,518 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Why do they have paper tickets? I thought in Seville everyone had to download the UEFA app so they uploaded the QR code at the 2nd security check. Was there any paper ones in Seville?
