Some were pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed by French riot police, others attempted to scale the barriers.
Many were eventually able to access the ground after the match had started but others missed out entirely.
“We have asked UEFA, who have agreed with us, that these people be precisely identified and receive immediate compensation for this frustration they have suffered”, said Amelie Oudea-Castera during a press conference.
She said there were 2,700 “non-activated” tickets corresponding to a group of people who had bought a ticket and who were “deprived” of the match”.
