Arsenal and Chelsea will only receive approximately 6,000 tickets for the Europa League final in Baku’s Olympic Stadium on May 29.
The arena in Azerbaijan, 2,850 miles from London, has an official capacity of 68,700.
The Gunners have already insisted they are working with UEFA to gain a larger percentage of seats to add to the “disappointing ticket allocation”.
“We are in active discussions with UEFA for more tickets for our fans but this disappointing ticket allocation obviously presents us with extreme difficulties in how we allocate tickets to you, our loyal supporters,” the club said in a statement.

“It is inevitable that with an allocation of just 6,000 tickets for the final, there will be thousands of fans who have supported the club for years and been part of our Europa League journey this season, who will be unable to attend this match. This is a disappointing situation.”
Chelsea said their official allocation was 5,801 tickets. They did not say whether they would be asking for more.
talkSPORT host Alan Brazil has slammed UEFA over the ‘disgraceful’ allocation.
The Sports Breakfast host said: “It’s a long, long way to go. And then we’re hearing there’s less than 7,000 tickets for each team. I mean, come on!”Absolutely ridiculous. 6,000 tickets for each club for the Europa League final for each club.
“What an absolute disgrace. What are UEFA thinking?”
