Rangers fans issued 'urgent' European ticket warning ahead of Europa League clash with Nice

Rangers fans have been issued an ‘urgent’ warning ahead of their team’s clash with OGC Nice in the Europa League, following reports that numerous tickets for the game have been ‘cancelled’.

Nice have stated that they have been ‘forced’ to cancel tickets due to ‘various factors’ which are ‘beyond the club’s control’. Furthermore, they also maintain that they ‘cannot be held responsible’ for the ongoing situation.

They are, however, set to refund anyone whose ticket is no longer valid. Currently, it is not clear when these refunds will be issued, though the club states that they will be handed out ‘as soon as possible’.

Fans who purchased tickets online have been met with an email from the club, which reads [via The Herald]: “We would like to inform you that due to circumstances beyond the club's control, and taking into account various factors including your position within the stadium, OGC Nice is forced to cancel your reservation for Thursday evening's match.

“Your ticket will be automatically refunded in full as soon as possible. We understand your disappointment and apologise for this inconvenience. We would like to stress that access to the match will unfortunately not be possible with the cancelled ticket, and that OGC Nice cannot be held responsible in this respect. Thank you for your understanding.”

Rangers’ game against Nice is due to take place this evening at the Stade de Nice, with a kick off time of 8pm. As things stand, the Light Blues are 10th in the league table, which puts them in a strong position to qualify for the playoff rounds.

Nice, meanwhile, sit 31st in the table. They have yet to win a Europa League game this season, having won two and lost two - they will be looking for their first victory in the league phase this evening.
