UEFA announced on Monday that ticket prices for the majority of fans attending this year’s men’s Champions League final will remain the same as last year, while premium seating will see significant price hikes.
Each of the two finalist clubs will be allocated 18,000 tickets for the May 31 final at Bayern Munich’s stadium. The lowest-priced tickets, available to fans of the competing teams, will cost 70 euros ($77)—the same as in last year’s final at London’s Wembley Stadium.

However, there will be steep increases for higher-tier seats. Top-category tickets will rise from 713 euros ($781) to 950 euros ($1,040), while Category 2 seats will jump from 500 euros ($548) to 650 euros ($712), UEFA confirmed.
Revenue from ticket sales at UEFA club finals is combined with income from broadcasting and commercial rights, forming a multi-billion-euro fund that is largely distributed back to clubs in the form of prize money and solidarity payments. Last year’s Champions League winner, Real Madrid, received the highest share—$154 million.

Out of the 64,500 total seats available at the Munich final, 38,700 will be made accessible to fans and the general public, according to UEFA.
Aside from the 18,000 tickets per finalist, an additional 2,700 tickets will be available for purchase globally through UEFA’s official website. Buyers will be limited to a maximum of two tickets.
Over 25,000 tickets will be reserved for UEFA guests, sponsors, broadcasters, and national football federations.
