On the errors detected and the failure of control mechanismsJoan Laporta: “Now it’s easy to say you’ll see it’s coming. We can certainly do better, but at UEFA meetings they told us that others came without tickets. It’s no longer true and we’re on an internal debate at UEFA and we need to clarify responsibilities Yes.Those who came without tickets found the option to search for tickets also through season ticket holders.Yes, we were worried, we found the crowd of Germans around the stadium. The team was even scolded when the coach arrived. If we prevented the entry, maybe now we will regret what could have happened. ”
Question time will begin
Joan Laporta sent a message to the fans: “I tell them to love Barça and go. There are 7 finals left and we need the public. And I repeat my gratitude to the members who came and the fans. I feel very bad about what what they have to suffer. Yesterday was an example of animation, from start to finish. And I hope the Camp Nou fills these games. We will do everything we can to boost the attendance of Barcelona fans “.
12:36Joan Laporta: “We are not at fault but we are the most responsible”. “We will do everything not to repeat.”
12:36Joan Laporta: “The seient lliure will only be for members and we want to encourage attendance. There will be ticketing, security, compliance, to establish consensual measures … We will have to be stricter. We do it in an act of transparency. At so that this does not happen again In conclusion, I would say that the club does not sell tickets to the Germans, except for the mandatory 5,000 by UEFA and VIP, which is almost 500, 45% of those available and due to an error, there were more than 200 who went to prevent the Germans “.
12:33Lluís Venteo: “Everything works through a computer program and mobile access and in the Turin final it will be used. Some clubs are doing this, like Osasuna. It’s a change of culture. People are used to entrance role but the goal is to know that whoever enters knows who he or she is, and that doesn’t mean the season ticket can’t be transferred ”.
12:32Joan Laporta: “We were ultimately responsible for what happened, but the club did not sell tickets to the Germans. It was because of what we explained. And as those responsible we acted. And what we did to do in special, international as well as in some League or Cup matches, is the tickets will be nominative, it is definitely digital ”.
12:30 p.m.Luis Venteo: “They come in early, they have a culture of standing up, drinking … and it caused friction among the fans. They spread all over the stadium, along with large groups and the 5,000 we expect, with them in control we the situation.. The problem is in the area of local fans, completely overwhelmed. We have shared the security forces and caused the anger of the locals who differed in their joy at the result “.
12:30 p.m.Luis Venteosecurity chief: “This is a high risk battle, and what is usually done for these battles is done. Our concern is the 5,000 share of the Eintracht ultra groups, but we must admit that in drones we saw that The situation was not as we expected. The gates were full of German fans and we understood that the indicators were not perfect and there would be an avalanche of Germans. ”
12:27Laporta: “Private security, which worked, is also very much so.”
12:26report: “It’s a system we inherited from the previous meeting. And this, belonging to the more social, ticketing and security areas, we thought would work but we’ve found that in special battles like this, that’s the ideal scenario is provided for these resale groups, on vacation, with mobilized rival entertainment and high purchasing power … this is a context for these organized groups ”
12:25report: “There was also misuse of season tickets. It is an estimate, there is no certainty because there are no sales controls. The season ticket also went to the Germans. Sadly because Barça fans, for the most part, find it hard to imagine that a member or subscribers provide entrance to rival fans, but it happens. ”
12:23Joan Laporta: “I assert that more than 27,201 purchase requests were made from Germany and the system was excited and unofficial agents and not external to the club, organized groups and resale specialists, were the mechanisms of control is outdated and ineffective ”.
12:22Juli Guiu provided the numbers for ticket sales.

Yesterday too. And I apologize to them, because they felt bothered by the massive presence of German fans.
