UEFA Champions League Final 2025 Tickets: Pricing, Access, and Fan Experience at Allianz Arena
How UEFA Champions League Final 2025 Tickets Are Allocated
If you want a seat at the 2025 Champions League Final in Munich, you’re up against some serious competition. The Allianz Arena is prepping for a crowd of 64,500, but only 38,700 tickets are for regular fans. UEFA splits these: each finalist club gets 18,000 for their own supporters. That leaves just a sliver left for the wider football public once sponsors, partners, and media have had their pick.
The game kicks off on May 31, turning the spotlight on one of football’s most iconic stadiums. For those who keep asking, that’s less than two-thirds of all seats available to anyone outside UEFA’s tightest circles.
UEFA is sticking to a four-category pricing system, creating an experience for fans across all budgets. If you’re hoping for a more wallet-friendly option, Category 4—called 'Fans First'—is yours for €90 (or £60). These are reserved for actual supporters of the teams in the final, so loyalty counts. Category 3 rises sharply to €180 (£150), while Category 2 jumps to €650 (£550). For the most avid fan—or someone who wants to be close to the action—Category 1 seats will cost €950 (£810).
Prices are fixed across clubs and will not change depending on which teams make it to Munich, though strong clubs can subsidize some seats, so die-hard fans might catch a break. Still, ticket demand always outstrips supply.
The Buying Process—and the Cost of Missing Out
The only way to guarantee a genuine ticket is through UEFA’s official website or its partner channels, with sales launching on April 9, 2025. UEFA will conduct a ballot for the fan and public allocations. Getting picked isn’t guaranteed, especially if your club is a finalist with a massive fan base. Loyalty schemes, away match attendance, and longtime season ticket holders often get priority for team allocations, so don’t bank on the general public pool unless you love long odds.
The moment UEFA’s sales run dry, the secondary market fires up. StubHub already lists tickets from £2,850—almost 50 times higher than the lowest official ticket category—and that’s just for basic seating. Platforms like SeatPick push listings from $2,359, but prices swing wildly based on match-up, excitement, and seat location. It’s not uncommon for secondary prices to jump even further in the days before kickoff, especially when two crowd-puller teams qualify for the final.
If you see tickets for sale elsewhere at a bargain, slow down. The Champions League final attracts its fair share of counterfeiters and dodgy dealers. UEFA strongly warns fans against unofficial sellers, and buying outside authorized channels is risky at best—a total loss at worst.
Some fans go all out for the experience. Shared lounges—where you can mix with other high-paying guests—run €5,900 ($6,700) per person, with the promise of gourmet food, cushy seats, and VIP lounges. Private boxes? They’ll set you back up to €12,900 ($14,660) each, but for groups, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration with a panoramic view of the pitch, private staff, and plenty of champagne. Not surprising, hospitality is regularly snapped up by corporate sponsors, celebrities, and super fans who see the final as more than just a game.
Ticket prices could change next spring as inflation, local demand, and even exchange rates add to costs. For now, UEFA says the published rates remain, but it’s always smart to act early and stay up to date. If you’re planning to go, remember: authorization is key, patience is a must, and whatever the cost, the crowd in Munich on May 31 is going to be unforgettable for every Champions League Final ticket holder inside Allianz Arena.
