Europa League final: Arsenal, Chelsea return tickets to UEFA

Arsenal and Chelsea will each return 3,000 tickets for the Europa League final back to UEFA, as fans don’t want them, according to the UK Mirror.

The European governing body has come under fire, for the meagre allocation totalling just 12,000 tickets given to the two Premier League clubs.

And with the final taking place miles away in Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku, supporters are now turning their back on the event.

Fans of both sides have been put off by rising travel costs and the 5000-mile round trip it would take to attend the game.

UEFA could now be left red-faced, at the prospect of not selling out the 69,870 capacity stadium.
