Official: Frederico Varandas reveals new Sporting rule causing buzz | OneFootball

Sporting will adopt a new criterion for ticket sales for Liga Portugal Betclic matches when playing as a visitor: geographical proximity. As announced by the Alvalade Club last Thursday, October 30, Members with more than two years of membership and who live in the district where the match will be played – according to the address registered in the system – will have priority in purchasing tickets.

This measure, which will come into effect for the trip to Santa Clara, regarding the 11th round, does not override the priority criterion for Lion Seat holders. Additionally, the rule does not apply to European competition matches or matches held in the Lisbon district. Check HERE how it works.

"Every day we work to be closer to you, so that you can be even closer to us. It is, therefore, with great satisfaction that we inform you that we will enable priority access to ticket purchases for away games for all Members who live near the stadiums," the statement reads.

Benfica is in third place, with 21 points, while the Porto team leads the competition with 25 points.

Sporting returns to the field this Friday, October 31, against Alverca. The match, part of the tenth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Custódio, will be played at Estádio José Alvalade, at 8:15 PM.
