bet365.com, one of the world’s leading online betting companies, was delighted to give six pairs of UEFA Champions League (UCL) to football fans in London this weekend, as part of the “Big Ticket Giveaway Game”.

Located in Potters Fields Park, by the iconic Tower Bridge, the live activation featured a special odds-based football game, which presented fans with an opportunity to get their hands on a pair of UEFA Champions League quarter-final tickets or a signed UEFA Champions League mini ball by getting four questions correct.

Six pairs of tickets were successfully won by players – four pairs for Arsenal’s massive tie against Real Madrid on April 8th and two pairs for Aston Villa’s historic quarter-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain on April 15th.

bet365 also teamed up with UEFA Champions league finalist, two-time Premier League winner, and former England captain, Sol Campbell for the activation, who was in attendance to meet fans and help them on their way to victory.

The coveted UEFA Champions League Trophy was also on display, with football fans provided with the rare opportunity to capture a photo beside it and in front of the iconic Tower Bridge.

As an official Global Partner of UEFA Champions League, bet365 had already given away over 2,000 tickets across this season’s competition - one of the largest in UEFA history.

The Big Ticket Giveaway Game was yet another bet365 activation where members of the public could secure hugely sought after UEFA Champions League quarter-final tickets for two of the biggest games in this season’s competition.

bet365's Big Ticket Giveaway Game

bet365 Global Deputy Head of Brand Ben Reeves, said:

bet365 PR Operations Manager Jon Riley, said:

Sol Campbell on bet365’s Big Ticket Giveaway

Former UEFA Champions League finalist, Sol Campbell, was in attendance on behalf of bet365, taking part in an immersive predictor game which gave members of the public the opportunity to win tickets the UEFA Champions League quarter – finals, along with official UCL merchandise.

Sol Campbell said:

“There’s nothing quite like the UEFA Champions League.”

“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.”

Ahead of Arsenal v Real Madrid, Sol said the following:

“You must respect the history of a team like Real Madrid, but not let it shackle you down. The game is over two legs and Arsenal must be brave yet sensible.”

“I’m expecting a special game over two legs, and the players in the Arsenal team cannot let the occasion get to them. They must play as a team and concentrate on their individual jobs. If they don’t, Real Madrid can punish you, as we’ve seen over the years.”

“But, I’m still backing Arsenal. I think they have a good chance of progressing if they can get a positive result in the first leg at the Emirates. Arsenal to sneak it.”

Sol Campbell was speaking on behalf of bet365, an Official Global Partner of the UEFA Champions League, which hosted an epic Big Ticket Giveaway Game this weekend, and gave away six pairs of UEFA Champions League Quarter-Final tickets.
