Travelling supporters attending the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium on June 1 will be required to present their tickets upon arrival at the stadium’s perimeter. The authorities are implementing additional patrols to prevent fans from drinking in the streets, crack down on ticket touting, and deter the use of pyrotechnic equipment in the vicinity of the stadium. Anyone found violating these rules will face on-the-spot fines of up to £100 as part of the effort to ensure a trouble-free event.
Chris Bryant, the Stadium Director, emphasized the significant planning and operational changes required to host such a major event and mentioned that the enhancements implemented are aimed at enhancing the safety and experience for all visitors. The text raises a question about who will emerge victorious in the Champions League final at Wembley. It also mentions an incident where supporters without tickets entered the stadium, with others outside engaging in activities like setting off fireworks and engaging in drug-taking.
The seriousness of the situation led to a government review, which concluded that the potential for harm was so substantial that someone could have been killed.
