Overview
- Chrupalla reports that a player agent arranged twelve VIP tickets and a lounge in December as a birthday gift for a business associate.
- He says the tickets were transferred to him on January 10, appeared in the RB app on his phone, and then vanished after a cancellation notice.
- dpa reviewed an invoice and smartphone screenshots that Chrupalla says document the ticket transfer.
- According to Chrupalla, the organizer received a club message referencing an “annoying double booking” and the need to reverse the twelve VIP tickets.
- RB Leipzig issued only a general statement that VIP areas at highly demanded home games can be overbooked and that ticketing errors are corrected under the club’s terms, while declining to confirm a reported BKA inquiry and referring questions to the authority.
