The Ultimate Sneak-In: TikTokers Hide in Stadium Toilet for 27 Hours to Watch Champions League Final

In a daring stunt that has taken social media by storm, Belgian TikTokers Neal Remmerie and Senne Haverbeke managed to watch the Champions League final for free—by hiding in a stadium toilet for 27 hours. 

The duo infiltrated Munich’s Allianz Arena a day before the match, posing as workers in high-visibility vests. Once inside, they secured a toilet cubicle, placed a homemade “Out of Order” sign on the door, and waited in silence as stadium staff unknowingly used the facility around them. 

Armed with snacks and their phones, they endured the discomfort of bright lights and cramped conditions, making sleep nearly impossible. Their patience paid off when matchday arrived, and they slipped past ticket inspectors to join the 86,600-strong crowd in the stands. 

The pair witnessed Paris Saint-Germain’s 5-0 victory over Inter Milan, sitting among the winning team’s supporters. “It was the most beautiful football match we have ever seen,” Remmerie said. 

While fans paid anywhere from €90 to €950 for tickets, these TikTokers pulled off an unforgettable experience without spending a dime. Their adventure has since gone viral, sparking debates about stadium security and the lengths some will go for football’s biggest moments.
