The UEFA Europa League is the secondary European football competition behind the Champions League. Whilst it is deemed as the second tournament, teams still want to win the closer the final becomes.
The tournament is known for having many different rounds before reaching the tournament with games starting as early as September in the season. With this many big teams focusing on their respective leagues decide to play a secondary team on the Thursday night games.
Qualification
Gaining entry to the UEFA Cup is given to the respective teams that finish high in their league but not high enough to reach the Champions League. For example positions 5/6 in the Premier League are reserved for this tournament. The other way to qualify is for teams whom finish 3rd place in the Champions League group, with this they enter the tournament in the last 32 stage.
Sevilla are the most successful team in the competition winning it a record 4 times. This comes as no surprise with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona being two of the best teams in the world.
Final Tickets
The final this year is taking place in the city of Basel, Switzerland which will ensure that tickets will be in demand. Whilst this is by no means as popular as the Champions League, when 2 major teams play in the final this results in high demand.

For the previous seasons, ticket prices in the secondary market reach no more than £200 and often cheaper in the weeks leading up to the final. As stated below, it is advised to apply for the UEFA Cup/Europa League ballot in March/April, chances of winning tickets are much higher than one expects.
The Europa League Final is still a big sporting event, hence it is recommended that if you do decide to purchase tickets in the secondary market then use a reputable company – see our top choices.
Tip #1 Apply for the Europa League Ballot, you have an increased chance of gaining tickets for this due to not many applications. The most popular ballot is for the Champions League.
Secondary Ticket Market
Due to usual low demand for this game then tickets are never normally expensive on the secondary ticket websites. However, if any major British football team gets to the final then tickets will be more expensive than normal. My advice would be to purchase tickets sooner rather than later for this game with some fantastic deals available now for tickets.
Outside The Stadiums
Most Europa League Cup games will be available directly from the club, however outside the stadium tickets will also be sold, often for lower prices. For Semi-Final and Final tickets then as stated above tickets will be completely sold-out.
