The ticket’s price is central to the scrutiny. The report puts early-sale final tickets between €3,560 and €7,386, while federation president Rafael Louzán reportedly described the cheapest ticket as costing around €4,000. The value of the seat provided to Pérez Llorca has not been disclosed.
Pérez Llorca reportedly said he paid for his own travel and accommodation, so those costs did not fall on Valencian taxpayers. But that does not settle the question Galán is raising: whether a high-value ticket can be treated as ordinary institutional hospitality, or whether accepting it could raise legal concerns.
Galán has reportedly given the RFEF five days to explain who authorised the ticket, how the decision was made and whether other officials received similar benefits. The report says the federation has received questions but had not yet responded.
Galán argues that Spain’s Criminal Code may apply to public officials who accept gifts connected to their office, and that responsibility could also extend to whoever approved the invitation. Those are allegations and legal arguments, not findings by a court. The report says no court has determined that Pérez Llorca or Louzán committed wrongdoing in this case.
The next step is the federation’s response. If it supplies clear records on the ticket’s value, approval process and purpose, the dispute may remain a question of governance and public perception. If it does not, Galán says he may take the matter to criminal authorities and sports regulators-keeping the focus on how football bodies manage privileged access for public officials.
