UEFA reiterated that “the tickets are not allowed to be resold, which are real-name.” UEFA emphasized the importance of this measure in its ticket terms to prevent violence and criminal acts, enforce bans, separate fans from the two teams and prevent unauthorized ticket reselling, especially to avoid the price being torpedoed and make fans pay too high prices, UEFA emphasized the importance of this measure in its ticketing clause. Under the general conditions of ticket sales, unauthorized ticket resale will not only be fined, but may also require refund of all excess profits obtained from illegal resale.

However, there are exceptions. If the holder accompanied another person to watch the competition and did not make any profit from it, the transfer or sale to the peer is allowed. In addition, penalties for violations, including fines and demands for refund of all or part of the excess profits arising from illegal resale. The specific amount will be determined based on the number and severity of the violation, the type of liability (intentional or negligent), the degree of effort to refund, whether there is a record of reoffending, the number of tickets illegally resold and the resulting benefits.
