It seems that Fenerbahce fans will… over-flood Berlin for the Euroleague Final Four since 28% of the tournament’s tickets has been sold to Turkish fans. It goes without saying that the vast majority of them supports Fenerbahce and will travel to the German capital with the hope that their favorite team will be crowned Euroleague champion.

When it comes to the Germany, the tournament’s hosts have bought 18% of the tickets. But many of these tickets have gone in the hands of Turkish fans… so they count for Fenerbahce’s numbers as well.

Spain will definitely have at least one representative in the Final Four, that is no other than Laboral Kutxa. We will see tonight if Barcelona will advance as well. But so far only 14% of the tickets have been bought by Spaniards.

Despite the fact that CSKA Moscow has checked an early ticket to the Final Four and although Lokomotiv Kuban has high chances to make it to Berlin, only 2% of the tickets has been bought by Russian fans.

The Greek fans have bought a 10% of the tickets and many of them will be present in Berlin, despite the fact that none of the country’s powerhouses, Panathinaikos and Olympiacos, managed to qualify to the Final Four.

Take into account that every team that advances to the Final Four gets 800 extra tickets. Generally there might even be some last minute changes when it comes to the fans who will decide to travel to Berlin for the ultimate European basketball celebration.
