In the next section, we’ll explore the process of buying Europa League match tickets through various channels, and will show how Ticket Compare makes it easy.

To buy Europa League final tickets through official channels, you have to apply through UEFA’s official site.

The sales window opens around mid-April each year, and Europa League tickets are distributed mainly to fans of the finalists’ teams, along with the general public. Remember, tickets are UEFA sells Europa League final tickets via a lottery system once that application period closes.

Fans can select their preference to enter the lottery regardless of the finalists or only if their team qualifies, and the ticket quota is fairly allocated across these groups. Europa League final tickets for successful applicants will be delivered digitally through the UEFA Mobile Tickets app.

Remaining tickets outside this fan allocation are reserved for UEFA partners, national associations, and local organisers.

To avoid the jeopardy of missing out on football tickets for the Europa League final, try using Ticket Compare. We offer a wide range of listings for the big match, all sourced from the most reliable secondary market sites.

If you’re looking to snag cheap UEFA Europa League tickets on the resale market, there are several strategies that can help you find the best deals. Here are the most effective methods:

• Buy Tickets Early: Purchasing early can secure Europa League match tickets at reasonable prices before demand drives them up.
• Buy Tickets Last-Minute: Alternatively, resellers often drop prices pre-match to ensure they sell their tickets. This strategy can be a bit of a gamble but last-minute buyers should find cheap Europa League tickets by buying late.
• Consider Solo Seats: UEFA Europa League resale tickets are less expensive if you’re comfortable attending alone or sitting separately from your group. Resale markets usually add a premium for group seating, especially as group sizes increase.
• Opt for Less Popular Matches: For cheap Europa League match tickets, look for games with less well-known opponents. This might be a smaller team from Pot 4 of the draw visiting a European powerhouse. For example, in 2024/25 Tottenham Hotspur vs Elfsborg tickets were selling for as little as £32.
• Pick Shortside Seats: For the cheapest tickets for Europa League games, try and get a seat behind the goals instead of along the touchlines.

Ticket Compare sources listings from a diverse range of trusted resale marketplaces, offering fans the best chance of finding cheap UEFA Europa League tickets on the secondary market.

In the 2024/25 season, the maximum price for Europa League tickets for away fans is set at €40, if you buy them through the clubs. This cap reflects UEFA's initiative to make European football more accessible and affordable, celebrating the role of away fans in creating a lively matchday atmosphere.

Starting from the 2025/26 season, this price limit will be further reduced to €35. This adjustment in Europa League ticket pricing was established through consultations between UEFA, the European Club Association (ECA), and Football Supporters Europe (FSE).

As we use the secondary market, the price of Europa League resale tickets will vary on Ticket Compare due to forces such as supply and demand.

If teams finish with the same points in the 2024/25 Europa League league phase, UEFA uses a series of tiebreakers to determine their rankings. The criteria are applied in the following order:

1. Head-to-head points: Points earned in matches between the tied teams.
2. Head-to-head goal difference: Goal difference from head-to-head matches among the tied teams.
3. Head-to-head goals scored: Total goals scored in these direct matches.
4. Overall goal difference: Goal difference across all league phase matches.
5. Total goals scored: The total number of goals scored in the league phase.
6. Away goals scored: Goals scored away from home across all league phase matches.
7. Wins in all matches: The total number of wins across the league phase.
8. Away wins: Total away victories during the league phase.
9. Disciplinary points: Based on yellow and red cards received.
10. UEFA club coefficient: Ranking based on club performance over the last five years.

These criteria are applied in sequence until the tie is resolved. If teams remain tied after all these criteria, a drawing of lots determines the ranking.

No, in the 2024/25 Champions League if you finish between 25th and 36th in the league phase you will be completely eliminated from all European competition. The same applies if you finish in the play-off spots between 9th and 24th and lose your play-off match.

Previously, the third-placed team in the old Champions League group stage would enter the knockout phase of the Europa League, but this rule no longer applies.

The qualification process for the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League involves teams eliminated from the Champions League qualifying rounds and play-offs. This process is split into the Champions Path and the League Path:

1. Champions Path: This path is for league champions who didn’t qualify directly for the Champions League. Teams that lose in the first, second, or third Champions League qualifying rounds enter various stages of the Europa League qualifying rounds. Ultimately, teams eliminated from the Champions Path play-off round enter the Europa League’s league phase.
2. League Path: This path is for non-champions (e.g. league runners-up and third- or fourth-place teams in some leagues) who don’t qualify directly for the Champions League. Teams eliminated from the second and third qualifying rounds, as well as the play-offs in the League Path, are transferred to the Europa League league phase.

This system allows high-performing clubs from across Europe to compete in the Europa League if they’re eliminated from Champions League qualification.

The UEFA Europa League offers big financial rewards in the 2024/25 season, with a total distribution fund of £469 million. Clubs qualifying for the league phase receive a starting fee of £3.58 million, supplemented by performance bonuses per win (£373,500) and draw (£124,500).

Additional funds are allocated based on final league rankings and knockout-stage progression, with up to £5.81 million awarded to finalists and £4.98 million to the winner.

A unique "value pillar" allocates further income based on broadcast market value, making a deep Europa League run lucrative for teams, with earnings potential tied to both performance and media market dynamics.

If you want to buy your Europa League tickets as early as possible it’s vital to stay on top of the draw dates. The Europa League draws for the 2024/25 season were scheduled as follows:

1. Liverpool 5-4 Alavés (2000/01)
   • Venue: Westfalenstadion, Dortmund

   • Venue: Estadio Olimpico de Sevilla, Seville

   • Venue: De Kuip, Rotterdam
