Europa League Final: Ticket Info For Potential Man Utd vs. Spurs Clash

Manchester United and Tottenham can both secure a place in the Europa League final on Thursday night, with the potential of an all-Premier League showdown in Bilbao

Manchester United and Tottenham are both just 90 minutes away from securing their place in the Europa League final. The Premier League giants have both endured miserable domestic seasons, finding themselves in the bottom half of the table.

That has piled the pressure on bosses Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou, but the two could both salvage their season with a European triumph. United are looking to win their first trophy under Amorim, while Spurs are looking to end their 17-year silverware drought.

And along with lifting the trophy, winning the Europa League would also secure either side a passage to next season’s Champions League. Much to Arsene Wenger’s annoyance.

And the Premier League pair are well placed to reach the final later this month. United hold a three-goal lead over Athletic Bilbao after a brilliant first leg in Spain, while Spurs head to the Arctic Circle to face Bodo/Glimt after winning 3-1 in north London.

Neither side are getting carried away, but should everything go to plan on Thursday evening it will be an all-English final. Here’s everything you need to know about the potential clash.

When and where will the game be played?
It’s a relatively quick turnaround from the conclusion of the semi-final ties, with the final being played on Wednesday, May 21 at Athletic Bilbao’s San Mames Stadium. It will get underway at 8pm UK time.

Ticket allocation
As is often the case with the UEFA competitions, the number of tickets on offer, compared to the amount going to supporters is a bone of contention. Bilbao’s stadium, built in 2013, holds more than 53,000 fans.

But that hasn’t translated into large allocations for teams that reach the final. In fact, just over 29,000 tickets will go to fans of the finalists, with the remaining 24,000 allocated elsewhere.

Unsurprisingly, that has angered all sets of supporters still in the competition, who will face a mad scramble to secure their place.

Both Spurs and United have already opened applications to purchase tickets, due to the very small window between now and the final kicking off.

Ticket prices
Rather than the clubs themselves, UEFA will handle the ticket purchasing and distribution. Prices range from €40 (£34) for Category 4 tickets, all the way to Category 1 tickets which ill cost €240 (£204). There is an option for restricted view tickets at the top category level, which will set you back €190 (£161).
