talkSPORT host Alan Brazil has slammed UEFA after Arsenal and Chelsea were given just 6,000 tickets each for the Europa League final in Baku.
The all-English showpiece will take place at Azerbaijan’s 68,700-seater Olympic Stadium, 2,850 miles from London, on May 29.

Fans have been outraged by the amount of tickets available for genuine supporters and Arsenal have already asked UEFA to increase their ‘disappointing’ allocation.
“We are in active discussions with UEFA for more tickets for our fans but this disappointing ticket allocation obviously presents us with extreme difficulties in how we allocate tickets to you, our loyal supporters,” a club statement read.
“It is inevitable that with an allocation of just 6,000 tickets for the final, there will be thousands of fans who have supported the club for years and been part of our Europa League journey this season, who will be unable to attend this match. This is a disappointing situation.”

And Brazil went a step further, describing the ticket allocation as an ‘absolute disgrace’.
The Sports Breakfast host said: “It’s a long, long way to go. And then we’re hearing there’s less than 7,000 tickets for each team. I mean, come on!
“Absolutely ridiculous. 6,000 tickets for each club for the Europa League final for each club.
“What an absolute disgrace. What are UEFA thinking?”
It comes after Liverpool and Tottenham were allocated 16,613 tickets for the Champions League final, which will take place at Atletico Madrid’s 67,800-capacity Wanda Metropolitano stadium on June 1.
