Atlético’s new attendance rules that could cost you your season ticket

Atletico de Madrid has informed its members of a new increase in season ticket prices, and it will not come alone. The club has announced new regulations regarding attendance by Atletico fans, which could even go as far as taking away their season ticket. Under the slogan “Every voice counts”, the club has announced the new rules that will come into force from the 2026/27 season. The aim of the campaign is for the Metropolitano to be “full for every match and for the energy of our fans to be the best in the world.”

These new season ticket rules for Atletico fans seek, according to the club, to ensure that “our stadium is completely full in each and every match. No exceptions.” A measure similar to those adopted by other European clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester City, or Borussia Dortmund… In the official statement, they say that “if you can’t come, you must allow someone else to take your seat. It is a firm commitment, a pact between the club and its people.”

What are the new measures for Atletico season ticket holders?

It should be noted that these new rules are mandatory for all season ticket holders, both league-only and full-season. They are based on filling the stadium match after match and having a real commitment to the club.

Attendance commitment. The club asks that the season ticket be used for a minimum of 10 matches per season. They state that this can be either by the season ticket holder or by someone to whom it is transferred digitally through the ticket, a new free transfer option.
Free up your seat. As has become customary, for matches that no one can attend, the seat must now be handed over to the club so that it can be occupied by another Atletico fan. This system is already in place, but it is now taking on greater importance.

In addition, the club stresses that in the event of possible unforeseen circumstances beyond anyone’s control, the rule includes an exception of up to 3 matches per season in which you cannot use your season ticket, transfer it to someone else, or free up your seat, due to last-minute circumstances or force majeure.

Recognition for the most loyal fans

Atletico has reported on restrictions, but also on recognition and rewards for the most loyal supporters. The club has announced that it will reward the season ticket holders with the highest attendance throughout the season with various gestures of appreciation. These recognitions will come into effect this very year, and the nearly 4,000 season ticket holders who have attended every match this 25/26 season will be rewarded.
