Bet365 are the Global Partner of the UEFA Champions League this season and to celebrate, the Stoke-based bookmaker hosted a Big Ticket Giveaway in London on Saturday 5th April.

Former Champions League finalist Sol Campbell was in attendance on behalf of bet365 and participated in a predictor game, which gave members of the public the chance to win tickets to the Champions League quarter-finals. 

In total, six lucky contestants won four pairs of tickets, with two going to Arsenal vs Real Madrid on Tuesday, and two winning tickets for Aston Villa’s second leg tie against Paris Saint-Germain.

In what was a fantastic day in the capital, Sol was joined by AFTV, Jaydee Dyer and CultureCams. Sol was quoted saying:


“A big congratulations to the whole team at bet365 for putting on such an incredible event and giving real fans the chance to be at some of the biggest games in world football. The whole team has been amazing, and need a big pat on the back.

“It was great to meet all of the players who came along, and celebrate with our winners. A few of those being Arsenal fans made it extra special, with Tuesday’s game with Real Madrid just around the corner.

“bet365’s commitment to fans can be seen here today, not only have they given away more than 2000 UEFA Champions League tickets already this season, they’ve made lots of football fans very happy today with their Big Ticket Giveaway game.”

After pulling out a lucky ball and answering four correct questions on stage at the event, six winners were crowned with Andy Flegg from London one of those. Andy was quoted saying:

“What an awesome day!

“I’m London based so was wandering around the city when I saw the advertising, and I’m super pleased I did.

“I’m not usually lucky at all, or good with predictions, so as a huge Arsenal fan it is amazing to win.
