International ticket sales have closed for the 2011 UEFA Champions League final on May 28.

The general public ticket sales process began – exclusively via UEFA.com – on February 24 and ended on March 18.

The allocation will now be decided by lottery, with each valid application entering a ballot, regardless of the time of submission within the application period. Successful candidates will be entitled to a maximum of two tickets.

Applicants will be informed by email by April 6 if they have been successful or not. Candidates will be able to check the status of their application by logging into the ticket portal from April 6. Tickets will then be delivered by registered post no later than April 30.

Online applications will be checked to ensure that anyone banned from attending football games is unsuccessful in any attempt to purchase tickets.

UEFA underlines that no tickets are being distributed through agencies or brokers. UEFA also encourages fans not to be lured into deals with touts who not only demand exorbitant prices, but often are not in possession of the tickets they purport to have for sale, UEFA.com reports.
