When and where will the game be played?It’s a relatively quick turnaround from the conclusion of the semi-final ties, with the final being played on Wednesday, May 21 at Athletic Bilbao’s San Mames Stadium. It will get underway at 8pm UK time.
Ticket allocationAs is often the case with the UEFA competitions, the number of tickets on offer, compared to the amount going to supporters is a bone of contention. Bilbao’s stadium, built in 2013, holds more than 53,000 fans.
But that hasn’t translated into large allocations for teams that reach the final. In fact, just over 29,000 tickets will go to fans of the finalists, with the remaining 24,000 allocated elsewhere.
Unsurprisingly, that has angered all sets of supporters still in the competition, who will face a mad scramble to secure their place.
Both Spurs and United have already opened applications to purchase tickets, due to the very small window between now and the final kicking off.
Ticket pricesRather than the clubs themselves, UEFA will handle the ticket purchasing and distribution. Prices range from €40 (£34) for Category 4 tickets, all the way to Category 1 tickets which ill cost €240 (£204). There is an option for restricted view tickets at the top category level, which will set you back €190 (£161).
