Tickets for Rome from Friday
www.fcbarcelona.cat
Members of FC Barcelona can apply for tickets for the Champions League final against Manchester United in Rome from 10 am 8th May until 7 pm 11th May.
As on previous occasions, the applications must be made via the online form at www.fcbarcelona.cat.
Each member may make a single application for one ticket. However, up to four members can make a
joint application on the same form in order to travel together. Please remember that this
application process is open exclusively for Club members.
Draw on 12th May
All applications will be processed once the application period has closed. If demand for
tickets exceeds availability, a draw will be held before a notary. Between 12th and 14th May,
successful applicants will be contacted by the Club to explain the purchase procedure.
Availability of tickets still uncertain
FC Barcelona is due to have a meeting with UEFA representatives to confirm the exact number
of tickets available for the final on 27th May. As usual, 80%of these tickets will be allocated to
members and supporters’ clubs, while the remaining 20% will be used to cover FC
Barcelona’s corporate, sporting and contractual commitments.
Personalized tickets with chip
The new-design tickets will be similar to a bank card and will contain a
chip holding the name, surname and identity number etc of the purchaser. At the stadium access
points the same details (as supplied on the application form) will be stored. According UEFA, entry
to the stadium will only be authorized on production of the ticket and a valid identity document
with photograph.
It is very important to remember that tickets are personal and non-transferable and may not
be sold, offered for sale or used for any promotional or commercial purpose. The police reserve the
right to confiscate any ticket and to take measures against any person holding such tickets.
In addition, according to UEFA regulations, children aged under four may not attend the
final. Therefore, Club members aged under four cannot apply for tickets.
Apply only if you intend to travel
For all the above reasons, FC Barcelona requests that only members who wish to attend the
final in person apply for tickets. Under no circumstances will FC Barcelona change the registration
of one member for another member who has applied for a ticket.
As on previous occasions, the process of application and purchase for tickets with a possible
draw is considered as a firm intention of buying a ticket. For this reason, on making your
application you will be asked for your bank card details. If you are assigned a ticket you will
automatically be charged a minimum amount of 50 €.
