In total, therefore, 110,300 people showed up at the entrances to the Stade de France, according to the FFF. That is 35,300 more than the “75,000 tickets published”, still according to the Federation. On Monday, Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin had already indicated that 30,000 to 40,000 English supporters had no ticket or a falsified ticket. However, according to Radio France’s investigation unit, only 69,200 people went to the Stade de France by metro or RER and 16,000 by coach. Which, for these categories of travelers alone, therefore represents 15,000 people less than advanced by the FFF. Monday evening, from a judicial source, we were told “not to know where Gérald Darmanin got these figures from”. The Bobigny prosecutor’s office opened an investigation for “organized gang fraud” following the report made by the police headquarters. The FFF also explains that 1,650 security and reception officers were mobilized “in anticipation of a possible presence of people without tickets or in possession of counterfeit tickets”. The French Football Federation specifies that “this device is 25% higher than that of a sold-out match of the French team” and that it “has been validated by the police headquarters”.
