Wembley Stadium Capacity for Real Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund in 2024 UEFA Champions League Final
The 2024 UEFA Champions League final is nearly here, with Real Madrid taking on Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The stadium, known as the “home of football,” has a rich history of hosting major events, including eight finals. However, the upcoming final will only be the third one since the venue’s renovation in 2007. The allocation of seats for the final has sparked controversy, with many fans expressing disappointment over the distribution of tickets.
Wembley Stadium, with an official capacity of 90,000, will only distribute 86,600 tickets for the 2024 Champions League final. These tickets will be divided among the participating clubs, the general public, and commercial partners. While 60,000 tickets will be available for fans and the general public, 25,000 will go to the supporters of Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid. The remaining 26,600 tickets are reserved for various entities, including UEFA, commercial partners, and broadcasters.
The allocation of tickets has been a point of contention, with only 25,000 tickets going to each club for distribution to their supporters. This has led to calls for increased allocations to ensure that fans have priority over public sales. The pricing of tickets varies based on the section of the stadium, with the ‘Fans First’ category costing £60 per ticket, ‘Category 3’ at £160, ‘Category 2’ at £430, and ‘Category 1’ at £610. Accessibility tickets for disabled spectators are priced at £60, including a complimentary companion ticket.
The 2024 UEFA Champions League final is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 1, at Wembley Stadium in London, U.K. The match will kick off at 8 p.m. BST in the U.K., 3 p.m. ET in the USA and Canada, and 5 a.m. AEST in Australia. Fans around the world are eagerly anticipating this clash between two European football giants, and the allocation of tickets has been a hot topic of discussion leading up to the final.
