The upcoming European Championship quarterfinal clash between Spain and Germany this Friday has been dubbed a “century showdown” by German media, igniting boundless enthusiasm among fans from both nations.
German fans are especially eager to avenge past defeats in this fateful encounter. Looking back to the 2008 European Championship and the 2010 World Cup, Spain twice played the role of ending Germany’s reign, both times lifting the trophy. Tracing back to the 1988 European Championship, Germany, hosting the tournament on home soil, secured a 2-0 victory over Spain in the group stage. That remains the last time Germany has triumphed over Spain in an official match.
Given the momentous significance of this clash, the demand for tickets has skyrocketed. According to Bild, black market prices have soared to eye-watering levels, with some scalpers even quoting a staggering €6000 for a single ticket, specifically for a seat in the third row of the central area of the stands.
The report further reveals that these exorbitant prices are not isolated incidents. Sellers have listed two tickets for seats a few rows further back at a hefty €11800, while individual VIP seats are being offered for €3867.
While Stuttgart Stadium boasts approximately 51,000 seats, it seems barely sufficient to accommodate the overwhelming demand for this highly anticipated match.
Faced with this overwhelming fervour, Spain is making every effort to secure 20,000 seats for Spanish fans travelling to Germany to watch the game, in a bid to satiate the surging domestic demand for tickets. A wave of fans eager to witness the match in Germany is building momentum within Spain.
