UEFA issue Champions League final statement after Paris Saint-Germain fans left furious

UEFA have warned supporters that tickets for the Champions League final cannot be resold as anger mounts among Paris Saint-Germain fans. The French champions have sold their entire allocation of 18,000 tickets in just two waves.

Luis Enrique's side booked their place in their first final for five years by easing past in the semi-finals. They will face Inter Milan, who edged 7-6 in a final four clash for the ages.

The two sides will meet at Munich's Allianz Arena on 31 May for the chance to lift the European Cup. The allocation for the final has been split between , Inter and UEFA, who handle sponsor and hospitality sales for the game.

PSG had scheduled three waves to sell their tickets to season ticket holders, but sold out during the wave two. The first wave favoured their long-standing season ticket holders who were guaranteed a seat for the final.

The club also decided to invite all their employees, as well as partners and the players' families. That meant that at the time of the launch of wave two, only a few thousand seats remained.

Those in the second wave were forced to wait for an email allowing them to access the code, which was severly delayed in being sent. Amid the mounting frustration, UEFA have now warned those who have been able to secure tickets against trying to resell them.

"It is not permitted to resell tickets, which are also personal tickets," a spokesperson for the governing body told . "In order to prevent the unauthorized resale of tickets, it is in the interest of UEFA Events SA to appropriately restrict the unauthorized resale of tickets."

Sanctions for those caught reselling range from a fine to full or partial reimbursement of any profit exceeding the face value of the ticket generated by the unauthorised resale of the ticket.

Having already secured the Ligue 1 title, PSG are bidding to win the treble. A week before the Champions League final, they will face Stade de Reims in the final of the Coupe de France.

But the Parc des Princes club are facing a mounting rebellion from supporters over the way they conducted the sales process for the Champions League final. One said: "Wave 2 in 5 minutes, there were no more places, @PSG_Inside you have blood on your hands."

Another added: "Wave 2, I log in, 3 minutes of waiting, full... Those in wave 3, don't even bother, thanks @PSG_Inside. No respect for long-time season ticket holders."

A third fumed: "We want the figures. How many tickets were on sale in wave 2 and at what prices. It's not normal that season ticket holders find themselves without a seat because wave 1 holders were able to buy several tickets. A big club must respect its supporters."

A fourth added: "After the ticketing fiasco for the trip to Arsenal, another fiasco for wave 2. Ticket management is s*****."
