Arsenal and Chelsea plan on returning over 6,000 tickets leaving UEFA facing major embarrassment, as the almost 70,000 capacity stadium would be nowhere near full.The location and cost is proving a serious issue to supporters, meaning Arsenal and Chelsea have only managed to shift 3,500 and 2,000 tickets respectively, The Times reports. Travel to Baku, which lies further east than Baghdad and Riyadh, is also proving an issue for those fans who have qualified for a match ticket.UEFAs decision to award less than 6,000 tickets to both London clubs was originally met with derision from the footballing world.Driving the distance would take upwards of 50 hours behind the wheel, while a train journey could last as long as four days.
