Witnesses raise new questions about Champions League chaos at final in Paris
Thousands of Liverpool fans got stuck outside the Stade de France stadium in Paris ahead of the Champions League final
But there are deeper questions for them to answer: about why valid tickets didn't work; about the profile of stewards who faced unmanageable crowds; and about the engagement of politicians well before troublemakers arrived at the ground. "The area was full of people, shoulder to shoulder," he said. "I could see lots of people holding their phones up, trying to get their QR codes on the app. My partner's QR code did activate, and it was the only one I saw in dozens around me. Mine didn't."
Steve, who has programmed several apps himself, said he followed instructions to the letter, but the QR code needed to scan the ticket through the turnstiles didn't appear. "At 6.30pm on the Real Madrid side, there were already massive queues," Ronan told me. "I witnessed a lot of people having to scan tickets three, four, five times. So my interpretation is that there was an issue with the turnstiles, and a specific issue with [scanning] the app."
"The moment this check was lifted on the Liverpool side, a lot of fans arrived at the turnstiles without an activated ticket," he continued, "and the ticket had to be activated manually by stewards which takes 10-15 seconds [each time]."
