Rangers fans told do not travel to Seville if you don't have tickets for Europa League final

UEFA has told Rangers fans not to travel to Seville if they don't have tickets for the Europa League final next week.

Tens of thousands of Gers supporters are set to make the journey to the south of Spain to soak up the atmosphere ahead of the tie on Wednesday at Sevilla's Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

And they will be joined by thousands of Eintracht Frankfurt supporters keen on being present in the city if not the stadium itself to see their team compete for the second biggest club prize in European football.

Now with less than a week to go, European football’s governing body is urging fans from both teams not to travel to Seville "fans "without tickets or purchase tickets on the secondary market", the Daily Record reports.

A statement released by UEFA read: “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.”
