In the 11th round of La Liga, Sevilla will face Espanyol away. Sevilla fans are furious over Espanyol’s ticket prices, which are twice as expensive as their accommodation costs.
The match will take place at the beloved RCDE Stadium by Sevilla fans, but the away fan ticket price will be 65 euros per person. It is understood that due to the special circumstances this time, Espanyol did not join the “Unified Fan” agreement, which stipulates a maximum away fan ticket price of 30 euros.
Espanyol club has taken this matter very normally, but even some Espanyol fans have reached out to Sevilla fans to express their dissatisfaction with the current situation. This situation ultimately affects their own travels for away matches. Supporting the team throughout the season is already difficult, and now it has become even more challenging.
Sevilla fan Juanma Barón said, “The tickets are almost twice as expensive as the accommodation. I flew from Sevilla to Barcelona for 81 euros, and some people bought tickets for less than 75 euros, almost the same price as the ticket.”
He is one of hundreds of fans who will not let the team fight alone. According to Juanma Barón and his friends’ plan, he spent 35 euros per night in an apartment less than 10 minutes from the stadium, which is half the price of the ticket.
In fact, among the traveling fans, there is a discussion about whether to go. Some say they won’t buy tickets if they haven’t prepaid for accommodation and flights. The prices are too high. This is also the case for others, such as Gonzalo de Castro, who ultimately decided not to go. He said, “I usually drive with three friends to almost all away matches. We looked for hotels, apartments, even friends’ homes, but after seeing the prices, we decided not to go.”
Many had already made plans, but the high ticket prices ruined them. Moreover, tickets were only released a week and a half before the match, disrupting many people’s arrangements.
However, Espanyol club maintains a tough stance on criticism and remains firm in its decision not to join the unified away ticket price agreement. The high ticket prices are because the match against Sevilla is classified as a top-tier match, belonging to the most expensive category. Back in Sevilla, their own fans will also face the same high ticket prices.
