Liverpool Chief Executive Rick Parry today sounded a note of caution for fans hoping to travel to Athens.He said: "Unfortunately, our ticket allocation for the game is not going to come close to satisfying the demand from our supporters. "The bottom line is that we have been given only 17,000 tickets for a stadium with a capacity of 63,000 for the Final. We've expressed our disappointment at the figures, but have been told by UEFA that no more are available." He continued: "We're conscious people want to make arrangements and what we can say at the moment, having analysed all the figures, is that supporters who purchased tickets for seven Champions League games (not including qualifiers against Maccabi Haifa) and had their purchases recorded on their fan cards, are guaranteed to get a ticket for the Final. "However, due to the numbers involved, fans who purchased tickets for six Champions League matches home or away (not including qualifiers against Maccabi Haifa) or a combination of both and had their purchases recorded on their fan cards will have to be entered into a ballot for Final tickets. Season Ticket holders, members of the Auto Cup Scheme and fan-card holders will all have the same chance. None of these groups are being given priority. "Those supporters who are successful in the ballot will be notified in writing by the Ticket Office. "We have tried to be as fair as possible and work with the number of tickets allocated to us by UEFA, but inevitably there are going to be a lot of disappointed supporters and we can only apologise in advance for that." Liverpool Football Club will announce full selling details for the Champions League Final on Tuesday 8th May 2007.
