As part of the sixth round of the main round of the UEFA Champions League, Shakhtar Donetsk will play a nominal home match against Bayern Munich at the Feltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, which is scheduled for December 10.

As reported by the German publication Image, Bavarian ultras called for a boycott of this match and to hand over all their purchased tickets to the “reds” fans.

According to the source, the reason for such an appeal was high ticket prices. Yes, you need to pay at least 52 euros for one seat. It is noted that at the beginning of October, the sale of tickets for the match between Shakhtar and Atalanta for standard seats started at a price of 23 euros.

It is also claimed that 36,000 Bayern fans have already supported the call to boycott the price policy and canceled their pre-orders. Initially, the number of ticket orders was 55,000, but after the appeal, it was reduced to 19,000.

We will remind you that earlier the ultras of Bayern Munich already held a campaign against the price policy for the match with Shakhtar, unfurling a banner at the match of the 10th round of the German championship against St. Pauli (1:0) with the following inscription:

“Article 45: The price must not exceed the lowest price paid by home fans in the sector of the relevant stadium. 4 matches = €95. Only reasonable price for away fans is €24. Why should we pay €52? Nah** UEFA! Why Bayern supports Shakhtar’s fraud?”
