Champions League fever has broken out in Germany with fans of finalists Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund requesting a total of 750 000 tickets for the final at Wembley on May 25.
.
Dortmund had received 502 567 requests for tickets by the time of Sunday's deadline for the open draw, with priority given to members and season-ticket holders, while Bayern have received around 250 000 orders for tickets with only members allowed to apply.
.
Chances of receiving a coveted ticket are slim for both sets of fans, with each club's allocation coming in at just under 25 000 seats for the Uefa showcase.
.
Tickets for Wembley cost between 72 and 396 euros (£60-£334) and each successful applicant is limited to a maximum of two by both club, while Bayern's draw has been made open only to fans who are registered members of the Bavarian giants' 3 000 different supporters groups.
.
"Due to the large numbers of orders, it is not possible to make it an open draw for all fans, a strict criteria and a drawing of lots is the only fair way of dividing up the allocation," said a Bayern Munich spokesman.
.
This is the first time two German clubs have reached the European Cup final. Bayern, who beat Barcelona 7-0 on aggregate in their two-legged semifinal, are through to their third final in four seasons but last won the Champions League title back in 2001.
.
Dortmund, who beat Real Madrid in the last four, are in their first final since winning the trophy in 1997.
.
Airline company German Wings have said they will put on special chartered flights from Dortmund and Cologne/Bonn airports on the day of the Wembley final for German supporters.
I just hope it won't be overhyped at the end of the day. Both teams must fight till the end of the game. I tip Lewandowski to ruin Bayern.
