FC Bayern Munich fans actually have very little to complain about at the moment. Okay, things aren’t going quite so smoothly in the Champions League at the moment and the central defence is occasionally shaky, but the bottom line is that Bayern are cutting a good figure under new coach Vincent Kompany. Last weekend, they beat Union Berlin 3-0 and Bayern striker Harry Kane scored twice.
What’s more, their championship rivals Leverkusen and RB Leipzig have both slipped up, meaning Bayern now have a really good chance of securing a lead in the table. Pure happiness in the FCB fan scene after missing out on every title last season? Not a chance! Bayern fans are unhappy with the price of tickets for the upcoming Champions League match against Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk on 10 December.
Match at Schalke becomes an expensive affair for Bayern fans
There are currently no matches available for this pairing.
FC Bayern Munich and Shakhtar Donetsk will face each other in the Champions League on 10 December 2024. This clash marks the 6th matchday of the preliminary round and it’s fair to say that this will be the crucial stage in deciding who qualifies directly for the final round, has to go into the play-offs or is eliminated from the Champions League altogether. It could therefore be an exciting match and the Schalke Arena is always sold out. Will that also be the case for this clash between Bayern Munich and Shakhtar Donetsk? Bayern fans are not at all happy with the ticket prices, which start at 80 euros on the official sales website shakhtar-ticketshop.schalke04.de! A high price and one that understandably makes the fans angry.
Social Media: Bayern fans go on the barricades!
Sure, tickets for FC Bayern Munich’s Champions League matches are always a little more expensive and fans have certainly got used to that, but entry-level prices starting at 80 euros are too much of a good thing. The prices for Bayern Munich Champions League tickets against the club from Ukraine even go up to almost 200 euros. On social media portals, fans are showing their incomprehension and are even calling for a boycott of the match at Schalke. But why is the match actually taking place in the Veltins-Arena? The reason is the war in Ukraine, as Shakhtar Donetsk’s stadium is located in the middle of the war zone, which is why Schalke’s home ground is being used instead.
FC Bayern vs. Shakhtar Donetsk: Schalke Arena should still be sold out
Despite the high ticket prices for the Champions League match, it is still likely to be sold out in the end, because Bayern fans know how difficult it is to get tickets for Munich’s matches, especially in the premier class. So anyone who has the chance to get their hands on tickets here will seize the opportunity. And don’t forget that Ukrainian fans in Germany will also be very interested in watching Shakhtar Donetsk live in the Champions League.
