Explained: How Irish fans can apply for Europa League final tickets

The Europa League final takes place in Dublin in May, and Irish Liverpool fans will be hoping Jurgen Klopp's men make it to the final.

Liverpool are joined by AC Milan, Benfica, Marseille, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham, Atalanta, and Roma in the quarter-finals and will fancy their chances.

Applications are now open until Tuesday, April 16th.

Through the official UEFA website, fans can apply for up to four tickets. Supporters will be asked to select which, if any, of the eight teams they support, and whether they are still interested if their team fails to qualify.

Once fans have applied, they will be entered into a random lottery for tickets. Prices will be €65, €100 and €150.

The two clubs in the final will receive an allocation of 12,000 tickets each, and UEFA has said the remaining 36,000 tickets will be available to the general public.

The Europa League final takes place in the Aviva Stadium on Wednesday, May 22nd. Due to sponsorship rules at the European governing body, the stadium will be called Dublin Arena for the match.

The Europa League final was last staged at Lansdowne Road in 2011.

UEFA has expressed concerns about Dublin's ability to stage the big game, especially if Liverpool, AC Milan or both teams make the final.

Croke Park is reportedly being considered as a fan zone location to accommodate fans without tickets for the match.
