UEFA has received optimistic announcements that the Champions League final in Istanbul, scheduled for May 29, despite the raging pandemic around the world, will have at least 9000 spectators.

These tickets are called “smart tickets”. With this system, it is practically impossible to resell tickets, and anyone who buys a ticket will be able to attend the stadium. Otherwise, the ticket fails.
