UEFA did not only make enemies on Monday by carrying out, for the first time in its history, two draws for the round of 16 of the Champions League on the same day.
If he has undoubtedly reduced the odds of PSG somewhat at bookmakers, the fact of seeing the capital club finally inheriting Real Madrid instead of Manchester United seems on the other hand to have already skyrocketed the price of the ticket at the fans.
Tickets for this eighth first leg scheduled for February 15 at the Parc des Princes have not yet been sold at the official ticket office as the prices are already going up on resale.
About two months before the clash between Parisian Kylian Mbappé and Madrilenian Karim Benzema, the official platform for the exchange and resale of PSG tickets is already showing XXL prices.
It is already necessary to count between 250 and 1990 euros to hope to obtain a precious sesame for this shock of the next round.
Ten times more expensive than a meeting with Brest
Prices which, as the site specifies, are not set by PSG.
While the Ticketplace platform, hosted by the club's site, allows tickets to be purchased for matches at the Parc des Princes which are already full on the official ticket office, it is the sellers who decide on the selling prices of their tickets.
It is up to buyers to let themselves be seduced… or not.
One thing is certain, everything can go very quickly, since many tickets usually find buyers very soon after they go on sale.
This should be the case, once again, for the reunion of Navas, Hakimi, Ramos and Di Maria with their former club.
Even though the prices displayed today for some of the 1,500 or so tickets on sale may be prohibitive.

Champions League: PSG is a "very strong opponent" for Real Madrid
By way of comparison, fans anxious to resell their ticket for the match against Madrid are now asking for a price ten times higher than that scheduled against Brest, a month earlier in the league.
If the prices vary between 34 euros (in the Boulogne stand) and 219 euros (in the Borelli stand) to see Paris challenge the Bretons, category 16, at Auteuil or Bologna, is not accessible for less than 250 euros for the meeting. you with the Merengue.
But it is in the Borelli grandstand that the prices soar, because if there are tickets accessible to a little less than 300 euros in the heights, the prices of category 1 at the edge of the lawn can reach the modest sum of 2,173 euros.
High prices, but which have not yet matched those in the 2015 quarter-final against Barcelona, since some places had reached 2,800 euros.
