Juventus match restricted to 54,000
A source close to the ticket office told ClaretandHugh at lunch time “We expect a sell out most likely by the end of the week. It has been incredible sales figures”
The pre season friendly against Werder Bremen on 2nd August last year managed just 9,919 supporters despite being start of the final season at the Boleyn Ground.
When ClaretandHugh checked the ticket premium rate hotline at 12 noon there were 11 people in the queue with an average wait time of 24 minutes.
The Juventus sell out will be limited to 54,000 seats rather than the increased 60,000 capacity of the converted stadium.
Our source told us “At present the stadium is part of the initial test stage which is set to 54,000 for safety certificate reasons, therefore it allows a preview in advance of the first 60,000 game a week later “
