Olten’s friend caught selling VIP access, board discusses ticket ‘protection’ | OneFootball

In the end, it all turned into pizza. But hold on, we'll explain better...

The president of the Deliberative Council of São Paulo, Olten Ayres de Abreu, deemed it appropriate to convene the club's Advisory Council as a way to pressure the chairman Harry Massis Júnior after obtaining an audio where his daughter was allegedly involved in a ticket scheme for shows at Morumbi.

Well, what Olten didn't anticipate was that the portal ‘UOL‘ would leak another audio this Friday afternoon (20th), which was much more compromising for him, where a friend of his appears selling access to the Deliberative Council's box at the Morumbi stadium during Tricolor matches.

According to the recordings, Lucca Monteiro Borzani, son of Felício Borzani Neto, a childhood friend of Olten Ayres, sells tickets in the ground-level box sector, in the Council's tribune, on behalf of the director.

In the released audios, Lucca presents himself as responsible for the ticket intermediation and states that the tickets were linked to the space intended for the councilors.

According to the site, the accused has been selling the tickets since 2024 and charged up to R$ 420 for the special tickets.

Needless to say, the practice is prohibited by the statute. Only councilors and their guests have access to tickets for the mentioned sector.

In the audio (see full below), Lucca calls Olten ‘uncle’, even though they are not related, and emphasizes that the space is all-inclusive. In other words, food and drink are unlimited.

AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR tried to contact Olten for comment on the accusation but received no response by the time of this report's publication. São Paulo states that it “supports that any accusation involving a professional, member, or councilor of the club be thoroughly investigated by the Ethics Council.”

The fact is, after this new scandal, Olten and his attempt to complicate Massis's situation ended up in vain. It resulted in a situation that is, at the very least, pathetic: the Advisory Council meeting, which was supposed to pressure the president and perhaps even lead to his resignation, turned into a debate about the club's need to improve its internal ticketing system.

At least that's what we can deduce from the note released by the president of the Advisory Council, former president José Eduardo Mesquita Pimenta, who even before ‘UOL‘ reported Olten's case, was already speaking in plural in his text.

“The Advisory Council of São Paulo met to discuss and deliberate on the creation of a new regime for distributing courtesy tickets, with significant reduction, as well as to investigate, if there were any, possible incorrect distributions that would be forwarded to the Ethics Committee, preceded by two investigations, external and internal,” the text says.
