CHAOS broke out in Naples on Thursday morning as fans squabbled while queueing to buy tickets for next week's Champions League match between Bayern Munich and Napoli in Germany.
There were 2,500 tickets on sale at Napoli's San Paolo ground on Thursday but around 5,000 people queued to try and buy the tickets, Italian media reported.
Some people had queued overnight, staying at the ground after Napoli's 2-0 win over Udinese on Wednesday night.
But chaos ensued when turnstiles opened at 10am on Thursday and some fans climbed barriers to try to jump the queue.
The sale of tickets had to be suspended while police restored order, although at one point bottles and other objects were thrown at the police.
A similar scene took place last year when tickets went on sale for Napoli's Europa League match away to Liverpool.
