Olympiacos is celebrating qualifying for the Final Four, while at the same time debating how to provide its fans with enough tickets to Kaunas. Fans of the team plan to come en masse to Lithuania, although according to professional director Nikos Paniotis fewer than 1,000 tickets will be allocated.

"Despite the restrictions, I estimate that there are currently between 2,500 and 3,000 tickets in Greek hands. Each team will only be able to sell about 600 tickets, and I expect a tough war for the rest of the tickets," Paniotis said.

The team fears a scenario in which Maccabi Tel Aviv beats Monaco and Partizan beats Real Madrid tonight. Such a scenario would make the war for tickets impossible.

"We very much hope that Maccabi Tel Aviv or Partizan will not make it to the Final Four, because if that happens it will be very difficult for our fans. We're not keeping up with demand. In Game 5 against Fenerbahce, we could fill a hall of 150,19 people. The demand is absolutely insane."

The semifinals of the Final Four will be held in Kaunas on May <>. The final and the third-place match will take place two days later. If Maccabi Tel Aviv beats Monaco tonight in the fifth game of the quarterfinal series, it will meet Olympiacos in the semifinals. Barcelona awaits the winner between Real Madrid and Partizan Belgrade.
