The UEFA should be the major European professional football manager. Should. Because it is not. They do many things well, organize large events, enforced the rules to everyone, but above all there are all these types of old-fashioned blue dress and good playboy belly doing business with it. And of course, a final of a competition that is an occasion or painted so that the boss of the UEFA -sponsors and partners to fill their pockets.
The allocation of tickets for the final of the Champions League is a real scandal, all a fraud, not legal, but morally. The end of the little sister played the Champions League, as we all know, the Athletic Club and Atletico Madrid on Wednesday at the Arena Naţională (National Stadium) in Bucharest, a field that has a capacity of 55,200 spectators in European competition.
Of the 55,200 tickets the two finalists clubs received 8,980 each. That is, a measly 16% of total capacity, not coming to join the two or even one third of the stadium's capacity. And of course, fans of both teams do not reach even 8,000, because of course the two institutions must meet their own commitments to sponsors and other socio-economic support of the club. What about the more than 37,000 tickets remaining? Well, they eat mostly yuppies and resales.
To begin, 20,000 tickets remain in the Romanian capital. More than 36%. In these entries can be accessed via the Internet, but to complete the purchase you must present a Romanian address as a residence. That is, as not having a family member or friend in the country of Tristan Tzara, one can hardly get their hands on one of those entries. Many of them will be acquired by Romanian soccer fans, attracted by the attractive match between Atletico and lions, but many, perhaps a majority, inevitably end up in the nets of resale.
What they are a good number of entries in the city that hosts the final is fine. But 20,000? If the final out in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Seville, and the two teams will play Germany or Italy, would 20,000 Spanish willing to be a good bit of money to attend the meeting of two foreign clubs? I doubt it ...
Finally, if we add the entries that are in Bucharest and have been assigned to the two finalists, the result is that the UEFA keeps to herself more than 17,000 tickets, that is, less than a thousand less than the sum of the two finalists receiving together. 17,000 tickets to distribute among all the charlatans who have managed to climb to a position in the European football governing body and its sponsors, which are six: Heineken, Sony, MasterCard, PlayStation, Ford and Unicredit. A silly, silly to some 2,500 tickets for each of the seven stakeholders. If any of you work for one of these companies and have not been given an entry is not to have much future in the company ...
The competition is organized by the UEFA And, of course, she makes the rules and choose how you want to manage their own resources. If your main concern is to look good and make friends among the economic elite of the old continent, perfect, have a business at hand and wield it as such, but do not come after selling his love for football and doing campaigns that claim that the fan is the most important part of the sport. The fan actually care little, just enough to still maintain the business.
