"That's weird"
Trouble at the European Championships: Separate seats for influencers?
Uproar at the European Football Championship: will there soon be a clearer separation between fans and influencers in stadiums?
"Does someone come to a stadium as a fan and out of interest in the game? Then there are the normal grandstand areas - or do they come to the stadium to work and with some kind of profit motive? Then there is the press stand," said Thomas Kessen, spokesman for the nationwide representation of organized fans, "Unsere Kurve e.V.", to the German Press Agency.
Free entry to the stadium
Many soccer fans accuse influencers of taking the coveted seats in the stadium away from the "real" fans and abusing them for advertising purposes. Influencers are usually provided with tickets free of charge by their advertising partners - as is the case during the European Football Championship.
"The fact that a few people are being given access to tickets who have no interest in being fans, but only want to market themselves - that is, to put it mildly, weird," said Kessen.
