Soaring Cost for PSG-Arsenal in UCL Semi-Final Engagement
* attending the Parc des Princes for the much-anticipated Champions League semi-final match between PSG and Arsenal on May 7 is becoming a luxury for many passionate fans. Tickets for this grand event seem out of reach for the average supporter, given the skyrocketing prices.
The return leg of this epic clash holds significant stakes. A triumph at the Parc des Princes could secure PSG a spot in the final of the European competition, following their 1-0 win in the first leg. However, one must be prepared to empty their wallets.
Tickets prices are soaring on "Ticket Place," the official resale platform of Paris Saint-Germain. A seat in the Borelli stand, located in the quarter turn, is being resold for a staggering 520 euros on Ticketplace, as we checked on May 2. The lowest price for a comparable seat, in the quarter turn, yet situated closer to the pitch, stands at a whopping 5,900 euros, with 900 euros added as a reservation fee.
Another example from the Borelli stand features tickets sold for 1,600 euros, located in the first row behind the visitors' bench. Such gold-priced tickets are rare due to their scarcity, but also because the platform sets no upper price limit. Sellers set their own prices, while the club claims a 20% commission from each sale.
The same speculation is seen on the black market, with individuals like Imrane buying and reselling tickets. He confessed to Radio France that he bought a ticket for 450 euros to resell it for 500 euros, a relatively modest profit for him. Other resellers, such as "Porunga Dbz" on social media, aim for larger margins, buying tickets for as low as 110 euros to resell for 400 euros, and up to a whopping 3,000 euros for a VIP seat. Prices on both authorized and unauthorized markets align, according to resellers.
