Real Betis have issued an official announcement, that season ticket holders will not have to pay for entry to the Europa League match against Rubin Kazan on Thursday.
Real Betis fans threatened to boycott the Europa League game.
Real Betis have announced that season ticket holders will be granted free entry to the Europa League match against Rubin Kazan on Thursday night, whilst those who have already purchased tickets, will be refunded in full.
This in light of a protest notification by radical fans group, Supporters Gol Sur 1986, who earlier in the week called for fans to boycott the game, aimed at sending a clear message of discontent, to the board of directors and management at Real Betis.
With reportedly only a few hundred tickets sold for the game by Wednesday, there was the real prospect that due to the media and social network coverage the protest statement from the fans group received, the Benito Villamarín would be embarrassingly devoid of what matters most in football; the fans.
Clearly mindful of that, in an official announcement of their own, Real Betis announced later on Wednesday that they were amending the pricing structure for the game and that season ticket holders who had already paid for tickets, would be reimbursed, whilst those who hadn’t, would be able to gain entry to the match for free.
According to the struggling La Liga club, their aim is to reward the loyalty of the fans, whilst also noting that they had to seek authorisation from UEFA, so that season ticket holders could attend the game for no extra charge. General ticket sales however, will remain fixed at between €30 and €60 each.
