Bayern will be a guest of Shakhtar in two rounds of the Champions League, and the match will be played in Gelsenkirchen. Last season, the Ukrainians played their matches in the stadijum of another German giant – HSV, who is also playing in Bundesliga 2 for years. This situation seemed like the perfect opportunity for Bayern fans to turn out in large numbers at an elite competition and save some money in the process, since they wouldn’t have to leave their home contry. But that won’t happen… Shakhtar’s management has set sky-high ticket prices, likely to prevent Bayern fans from “hosting” a full stadium of visiting supporters. The ticket price for Bayern fans for this match is an incredible 105 euros!Bayern ultras to boycott the Shakhtar game due to ticket pricesRecently, for a match against Atalanta at the same stadium, tickets were priced at just 28 euros. This outraged Bayern fans, who initiated a boycott of the match—and it succeeded. According to Bild, as many as 36,000 fans of the Bavarian giant withdrew their ticket requests for the game against Shakhtar. Out of the 55,000 tickets available to the Munich club, only 19,000 may be sold if those fans don’t change their minds, as the boycott continues. Bayern has begun negotiations with Shakhtar to see if something can be done to lower the price, but the outcome of these talks remains uncertain. At the last match against St. Pauli, Bayern fans displayed banners indicating that the boycott continues and that they won’t attend the match with Shakhtar.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 10FridayUnion Berlin – Freiburg 0-0SaturdayBochum – Leverkusen 1-1 (0-1)/Miyoshi 90 – Schick 18/Mainz – Dortmund 3-1 (2-1)/Lee 36, Burkardt 45+3, Nebel 54 – Guirassy pen/St.Pauli – Bayern 0-1 (0-1)/Musiala 22/Werder – Holstein Kiel 2-1 (1-0)/Stage 36, Burke 90 – Harres 48/RB Leipzig – M’ gladbach 0-0Sunday17:30: (2.15) Augsburg (3.60) Hoffenheim (3.50)19:30: (1.95) Stuttgart (3.80) Eintr.Frankfurt (4.00)21:30: (2.80) Heidenheim (3.30) Wolfsburg (2.55)***odds are subject to change***
