Athens- There will be a total of 63,800 tickets available
for this season's Champions League final in the Athens Olympic
stadium, UEFA Executive Committee member Marios Lefkaritis confirmed
Monday.
Ticket prices for the match on May 23 vary between 80 and 200
euros (104 and 260 dollars). Only 9,000 tickets will go on open sale,
however, with the rest distributed between the participating teams
and sponsors.

"I am certain that the final in the Athens Olympic stadium will be
a success," said Lefkaritis in Maroussi, situated on the outskirts of
the Greek capital.

Normally 72,000 fans can fit into the stadium but the capacity has
been reduced to 63,800 for security reasons.
