🎥 On the loo for the Henkelpott: why TikTokers spent 27 hours on the toilet
🎥 On the loo for the Henkelpott: why TikTokers spent 27 hours on the toilet Quit your job, trade in your car, skip your own wedding - for a ticket to the Champions League final, many fans would sacrifice just about anything. Two TikTok influencers from Belgium took it to the extreme this year, venturing into not entirely legal territory. Neal Remmerie and Senne Haverbeke donned yellow safety vests 27 hours before the final in Munich, made their way onto the stadium grounds, and hid out in a stadium restroom.

To make their hiding spot even more secure, they stuck "out of order" signs on the toilet doors. 📸 Stu Forster - 2025 Getty Images But the overnight stay wasn't quite as relaxed as it seemed, according to Remmerie: "We had a backpack with snacks and played on our phones to pass the time. The lights were on the whole time and the seating position was uncomfortable, so it was almost impossible to sleep. That made it physically and mentally tough." Incidentally, they also filmed the whole thing and documented it on TikTok: At least the hardships seemed worth it for the two Belgians: after the stadium gates opened, they managed to sneak into the block with the PSG fans. It was the best game they'd ever seen, they told 'VRT News'. Advertisement UEFA and the Allianz Arena's stadium operator have yet to comment on the incident in response to inquiries from the 'BBC'. It remains to be seen whether the two Belgians will face any official consequences. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

TikTokers spent 27 hours in stadium toilet to watch Champions League final for free
A pair of Belgian TikTokers say they spent 27 hours in an Allianz Arena toilet last weekend before watching Paris St Germain beat Inter Milan in the Champions League final for free. Neal Remmerie and Senne Haverbeke told VRT News they managed to get into the Munich stadium the day before the match and hid in a toilet cubicle. After sticking a homemade "Out of Order" sign on the door, the pair waited in silence for more than a day as stadium staff used the facility. "We had a backpack with snacks and we played around on our phones to kill time," Remmerie told the Belgian public broadcaster. "The lights were on all the time and the sitting position was uncomfortable, so sleeping was almost impossible. That made it physically and mentally difficult." Once they heard fans starting to use the toilets on matchday, the pair left their bolthole and made their way past ticket inspectors to join the 86,600 crowd in the stands. "We looked carefully at which security guard was paying the least attention. While on the phone and with food in our hands, we just walked on, and suddenly we were inside," Remmerie added. "PSG won 5-0 and we were also in the supporters' section of the winning team. It was the most beautiful football match we have ever seen." The Allianz Arena and UEFA did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. Those fans who made their way into the match more conventionally had to pay anywhere from 90 to 950 euros ($100-$1,100) for their tickets.
