Shame! Plzeň is under fire in Germany because of ticket prices. Bayern fans demand the club to act

Viktoria Plzen are not doing well in the Champions League. However, if there’s one positive they can take in the west of Bohemia, it’s the money they’ve earned. Both for the attendance and for the tickets, which are not the cheapest. However, this is what the whole of Germany and especially Bayern Munich fans are now dealing with.

The Czech champion against the German champion. This duel offered Wednesday night. However, not only on the football field, but also off it. The fans of Bayern Munich are sharply criticizing the behavior of Viktoria Plzen.

As is the tradition in the Czech Republic, as soon as a club plays in the European Cups, ticket prices go up steeply. The aim, of course, is to make as much money as possible and when the fans pay, there is reason to rejoice.

But it is not often that prices are outright inflated. And so it is now in Plzeň, which has been noticed by fans of the Bavarian giant and the prestigious German magazine Kicker. Compared to league matches, the duel with Bayern will cost 500% more.

The cheapest ticket for visiting fans will cost €70. “The way they are trying to make money out of the fans here is disgraceful and disrespectful,” reads a statement from the Club Nr. 12 fan group.

However, the criticism is not only directed at Plzen, but at professional football in general. After all, there are not many countries where clubs do not try to make money from fans at any cost. Germany is one of the few bright exceptions.

Fans are calling not only on Bayern but also on UEFA to react as quickly as possible. It is worth noting then that UEFA has already addressed the situation and banned away fans from paying more than home fans.

Similarly, a price cap has already been introduced, with the cheapest ticket, for example, costing no more than €70. However, this is still too much.
