Following Olympiacos Piraeus' win over FC Barcelona that sealed the Greek team's pass to its third straight Final Four, the club's GM Nikos Lepeniotis was asked about the number of tickets available ahead of the big event that will take place in Berlin from May 24 to 26.

In an interview with NOVASPORTS, Lepeniotis explained that already 20% of Uber Arena tickets have ended up in Greek hands, as the Reds are still making efforts to secure as many seats for their fans as possible.

"I think the word 'ticket' will become magical," Lepeniotis initially said.

"The information we have that 20% of the tickets have already gone to Greeks. We will try a lot to get more tickets for our fans, but it is very difficult," the executive continued.

Lepeniotis, who has been working for Olympiacos since 2007, predicted that over 3.000 Olympiacos fans will be in Berlin and that tickets will be divided between supporters of the two Greek teams and Fenerbahce.

"Officially teams get 450-550 tickets and have a date where they can say whether they will use them all or not," he clarified.

"It will be very difficult to get more than what the Euroleague will give us. Season holders will have priority, but it will be tough, as Panathinaikos and Fenerbahce will also be there."

Lepeniotis stressed that he feels proud of the team and the progress he thinks it made throughout the season.

"As I also believe in karma, I believe this year we can get the title," he added.
