Dortmund host Real at their Signal Iduna Park stadium on April 24, but there is chaos when passes ultimately went on sale at 0900 (0700 GMT) on Tuesday, around 30 minutes later than planned, after some fans had queued since Sunday evening. Brawls broke out amongst fans waiting in lines at split up places in Dortmund's town centre while the tickets available were purchased inside an time of going for sale. Police had organised the lines from midnight on Monday after organised gangs had tried to strongly jump in, but officials described fights breaking out in early hours of Tuesday morning. "We had actually overlooked this outstanding stampede, it's our fault" admitted Watzke. Our lessons won't be learnt by "we from this and not give you a free-for-all ticket sales in future." Watzke said Dortmund will reorganise their advance ticket sales in future therefore organised gangs, operating on the black market, cannot income and to prevent the disorder that left some fans empty-handed despite queuing overnight. After some fans began camping out 36 hours before tickets proceeded sale, Dortmund leader Reinhard Rauball and membership icon Norbert Dickel handed out beverages and hot dogs to the queuing masses. Police reported brawls broke out at different ticketing practices in the city centre and riot police were deployed, while things remained fairly calm away from principal office at the Dortmund arena. Regional police are critical of Dortmund's planning and a spokesman said: "Since there was no protection at a few ticket firms, officers from Dortmund police had to intervene." (Edited by Giles Mole)
