UEFA allocates Champions League final tickets

UEFA has announced that more tickets will be given to sponsors and officials than fans of the two clubs competing in this year's Champions League final.

24,500 tickets have been set aside for football officials, representatives from the competition's sponsors and corporate hospitality, while the two clubs that reach the final will each be able to take 20,000 fans.

UEFA said in a statement: "As usual, fans and the general public are being allocated the majority of the tickets for the final.

"The remaining tickets are allocated to the local organising committee, UEFA and national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters, and to serve the corporate hospitality programme."

The remaining 6,000 tickets for June's game in Berlin will go to neutral fans.
