Almost official: Olten meets Massis, folds and backs Ticketmaster | OneFootball

The president of São Paulo’s Deliberative Council, Olten Ayres de Abreu Júnior, met with president Harry Massis Júnior this Monday (21). According to what AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR has learned, the meeting served for the political rivals to once and for all seal approval of the contract with Ticketmaster to become the new company responsible for ticket sales at the club, as well as managing the membership program for supporters.

In a statement, Olten said that “the meeting is part of the ongoing dialogue agenda between the club’s two governing bodies and is exclusively institutional in nature.”

“The main focus of the conversation is São Paulo’s political, administrative, and economic stability,” the statement adds.

The meeting inevitably stirred up buzz among supporters because of the current period, marked by discussions over financial management and behind-the-scenes moves aimed at the presidential election at the end of the year.

“The purpose of the agenda is to keep the communication channel open between the two bodies,” Olten’s statement says, without disclosing in advance the specific topics to be discussed by the officials.

Although it comes at a time of speculation and internal disagreements, the meeting does not signal an alliance, Olten’s support for the current administration, or an agreement between rival political blocs. The agenda does not change Olten’s position or imply any electoral alignment, being limited to the role of institutional coordination between the institution’s governing bodies.

In other words, Olten threw in the towel and admitted that he will recommend that his base approve the contract with Ticketmaster. As AMT previously revealed, the Council president appeared to be aligned on the matter after the committee he set up gave the green light for the agreement to be signed, which will bring R$ 140 million upfront into Tricolor’s coffers. The vote on the contract is scheduled for the 29th (Tuesday), in the Council.
