Overview
- Chrupalla says a player agent arranged twelve VIP seats and a lounge as a birthday gift, transferred the tickets to him on January 10, and they vanished from his RB app after a cancellation notice.
- dpa reports having seen an invoice and phone screenshots that Chrupalla says document the transfer and app display of the tickets.
- RB Leipzig previously declined to discuss individual bookings, then told BILD there were never tickets personalized in Chrupalla’s name and that he has never bought a ticket from the club.
- The club attributes the cancellations to VIP overbooking before the Leipzig–Bayern match and says affected buyers received a compensation offer.
- According to Chrupalla, the organizer was told there had been an “annoying double booking,” and reports say the BKA made a routine inquiry that the club did not confirm.
