Tickets for the UEFA Super Cup football game Barcelona vs Sevilla will go on sale tomorrow from 9am, announced the president of the Georgian Football Federation today.
The highly anticipated game, which will be held in Tbilisi on August 11, generated much controversy last week when ticket sales were postponed.
Tickets were due to be sold on July 22 however the sole ticketing website crashed when ten thousand football fans tried accessing the site at the same time.
For the past week the Georgian Football Federation and UEFA have discussed ways to sell the match tickets. The sides concluded the original ticket provider, Tbilisi-based website www.biletebi.ge, will re-sell the match tickets from tomorrow morning.
Georgian Football Federation president Zviad Sichinava noted 24,000 tickets would be up for sale tomorrow – and only people who live in Georgia will have access to purchase these tickets. One person can only purchase a maximum of four tickets.
The remaining tickets will be sold abroad from July 1.
The capacity of the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, where the Super Cup is being held, is 55,000.
"We have prepared a video instruction that shows users how to buy tickets. There will be no lottery; people will stand in an online row and wait for their turn. Biletebi.ge has improved all flaws and passed the monitoring test so hopefully tomorrow everything will go smoothly,” Sichinava said.
Technical director of www.biletebi.geGiorgi Chkhikvishvili said the website had been given the "green light” from UEFA to start selling tickets tomorrow.
"Fifty people per minute will be able to access the website. Tickets will be sold in a sequence. Website visitors will be given a row number and will be notified with the estimated time it will take to purchase a ticket. One person will only be available to buy four tickets.”
