Rangers handed firm UEFA warning as ticketless fans told DON'T travel to Seville

UEFA have warned ticketless fans not to travel to the Europa League Final in Seville.

Tens of thousands of Rangers and Eintracht Frankfurt supporters have been left disappointed after missing out on briefs for the 43,000 Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

The Ibrox travelling hordes are due to make their way to the Andalusian capital in southern Spain but as yet there are no confirmed plans for a fan zone in the city.

And European football’s governing body is urging Gers fans not to go to Seville without a brief or buy the sky-high price tickets on resale sites.

The two finalists were allocated just 10,000 tickets each and a statement released said: “Whilst UEFA understands that there will be fans who have been unsuccessful in their application for tickets, fans are strongly advised not to travel to the finals without tickets or purchase tickets on the secondary market.

"In order to maintain the safety and security of fans, ticket holders should be aware that checks will be carried out at the finals and the local authorities in the cities will take action against the unauthorised resale of tickets.

"Any tickets which are offered for sale by third parties on the internet (including on social media, marketplaces and secondary ticketing platforms) are advertised in breach of the ticket terms and conditions.

"UEFA actively enforces its ticketing terms and conditions, including by monitoring the internet, and will take action (including cancelling tickets) where unauthorised advertisements are identified.

"Fans should also be aware that third parties offering for sale tickets on the internet are often not in possession of the tickets which they claim to have for sale, despite demanding exorbitant prices for such tickets.

"In addition, UEFA is conscious that the demand for tickets to the finals may result in counterfeit tickets entering the secondary market, as has occurred at previous finals. Fans are advised that any such counterfeit tickets will not gain entry to the stadiums.”
