The last tickets for the Champions League semi-final return between PSG and Borussia Dortmund were sold this Friday. And the official reseller of Paris Saint-Germain is already showing scandalous prices.
With already more than 30,000 subscribers, and the boxes reserved for the season, it was obvious that there would not be enough tickets for all the Parisian supporters tempted to come to the Parc des Princes to attend the C1 return match between the team of Luis Enrique and Dortmund on Tuesday May 7. As a result, as soon as the rare tickets went on sale for the general public, the online queue approached 100,000 people, making a few hours, but above all, a lot of unhappy people. After a few minutes, everything was sold out, with PSG sending the following message to its fans: “ We greatly appreciate your interest and encourage you to check out ticketplace. Thank you for your understanding. “. Very quickly, on Ticketplace, which is the official platform of Paris Saint-Germain for the resale of tickets, offers arrived.
And we are not talking about a black market, but rather an organization set up by PSG to help put tickets back on sale for those who have purchased them and no longer want them. This Friday afternoon, a supporter resold a ticket in the stand closest to the Parc des Princes basket at the price of 5,500 euros. Enough to choke on, but that’s not all. Because on top of that, Ticketplace takes 990 euros in booking fees, and to this must be added 165 euros in VAT. The total is staggering.
Going to Germany to see Dortmund-PSG costs less for Parisian supporters
What’s crazy is that it costs less to travel to Dortmund + take 1 night in a hotel + match ticket, than to go see the return match at the park https://t.co/v58TChrqJT

Because if you really want to buy this place completely legally, you will have to pay 6,490 euros. Of course, there are also cheaper places, but none for less than several hundred euros. Enough to make PSG supporters react, scandalized that Parisian leaders can manage the resale of tickets in this way by gorging themselves via Ticketplace and allowing people to completely abuse the system. This had already been denounced in the past, but very clearly nothing was done to correct it.
Especially since some have calculated that for Paris Saint-Germain fans, it was now less expensive to take a train ticket to Germany, a hotel room and a ticket to Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund in the Parisian park than to come to the Parc des Princes. In fact, the German club sold tickets for 22.50 euros to PSG supporters who wanted to come and rub shoulders with the Yellow Wall next May 1st. In any case, we understand better why Nasser Al-Khelaifi very quickly wants to have a Parc des Princes with significantly more seats available, or even a new stadium.
