“Due to the nature of the original ticket sales process, whereby Liverpool fans purchased tickets from Liverpool FC and not directly from UEFA, UEFA has requested that the club implements the refunds to ensure personal data protection and for ease of process.” “In addition, all fans who according to the access control data did not enter the stadium before 21:00 CET (the originally scheduled kick-off time) or who were not able to enter the stadium at all, will be eligible for a refund,” UEFA added.

The evaluation stated that the police used tear gas at disruptive groups of locals and pepper spray on fans trying to enter with legal tickets, adding to the perilous situation on the concourse outside the turnstiles. Kickoff was delayed by 37 minutes as a result of a mix of operational challenges outside the stadium that made it difficult for upset supporters to go inside, especially those with disabilities and those who had asthma who had to deal with the tear gas and pepper spray. According to the assessment, the indifference shown to Liverpool supporters outside the stadium "almost led to disaster."

Uefa to refund Liverpool fans for tickets after Champions League ... (The Guardian)

Uefa has confirmed that all 19618 Liverpool fans who bought tickets from the club's allocation for last May's Champions League final in Paris are eligible ...

He praised the work done by Spirit of Shankly and the Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association, who said in a joint statement: “With a promise to reimburse supporters, Uefa have gone some way to acknowledging their part in the fiasco. Uefa said those supporters would need to meet its refund criteria and that the scheme covered those “most affected when accessing the Stade de France”. It said it would “reimburse Liverpool FC the total value of these tickets and the club will then process the refunds to its supporters”. Uefa did not just ruin the biggest event in the football season, people were injured and traumatised and any compensation needs to reflect that. We believe the term ‘refund’, in its broadest sense, does not go far enough in providing redress or acknowledging the true harm suffered by those at an event that should have been safe for all to attend.” Its general secretary, Theodore Theodoridis, said the scheme was “comprehensive and fair” and recognised fans’ “negative experiences”.
