The Bayern Munich team had a potential advantage over most Champions League participants, as they’ll play their 4th-round match in Germany. The Bavarians will face Shakhtar Donetsk at Schalke’s stadium, so it’s a bit of a question of who’s truly the home and away team. However, things won’t be entirely ideal for Bayern, as the club’s fans have decided to boycott the match. The reason isn’t political or similar; it’s due to ticket prices. Specifically, a ticket for Bayern fans at the Gelsenkirchen stadium costs 52 euros—well above what they usually pay at home games, where the cheapest ticket for their last match was 19.Kane’s brace keeps him ahead of the Egyptian forwardThe issue lies in the dynamic pricing system used for Shakhtar’s games at Schalke’s stadium. This means that as fewer tickets remain available, their price goes up. Ticket sales for the Bayern match apparently started well, with Schalke fans eager to see the Bavarians live, but this backfired as Bayern’s most passionate supporters are now refusing to attend. Bayern fans issued a statement regarding this decision, which reads:Battle for Wirtz getting fiercer by day”Don’t let yourselves be cheated—boycott the away match against Shakhtar. For fair prices and against price hikes for top matches.” This is not the first time that Bayern faithful protested over prices. Two years ago, the Bavarians were outraged the new prices of food and beverage at the Allianz Arena. Such was their anger, they even made a banner on the South stand at the Stuttgart game and it reads: “Good, better, Paulaner”: “Good, better, usury. Beer price brake now!” Ahead of another Bundesliga season, all club upped the prices of beer and sausage and, as expected, Bayern Munich was the worst – blaming it on the Corona effect and war in Ukraine, the Bavarians are now charging 10.50 euros (5.50 euros (80 cents more) for a beer and a bratwurst 5.00 euros (50 cents more)) which is the league high.##NAJAVA_MECA_8466551##
