Botafogo in panic, desperate ticket push for Flamengo clash | OneFootball

Botafogo Members Can Bring Two Fans for Free

Nilton Santos Stadium, for Botafogo, but rivals often joke that it's the 'Doesn't Fill Up', due to the below-average attendance at the venue. To avoid embarrassment once again, the rival has resorted to selling tickets to members with the right to bring two free guests for the classic match against Flamengo on Wednesday (15).

The match at Engenhão will start at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. Online sales began this Friday (10), and according to the club, there will be no sales to the general public. In other words, the idea is to sell all tickets to members and their respective guests.

ISN'T IT A FAD, BOTAFOGO?

In all the classics against Flamengo, Botafogo fans usually display the banner “isn't it a fad”, mocking the passion of the Flamengo supporters and exalting a supposed 'sincere love' of Botafogo fans. However, the recent past of the General Severiano team at home is shameful in terms of attendance.

Against Bahia, in the 26th round, Botafogo brought just over 8,000 fans to Engenhão. The coach of the Salvador team, Rogério Ceni, even mocked, calling it a “neutral field”. Previously, against Atlético-MG, 9,923 fans attended. In the third-to-last home match, the worst of all for the team in the competition: 6,724 in the draw with Mirassol.

HOW CAN FLAMENGO FANS BUY TICKETS FOR THE MATCH AGAINST BOTAFOGO?

The visiting fans will occupy the South sector of Nilton Santos Stadium. For this area, tickets cost R$ 120. The method for Flamengo's Nation to purchase tickets has not yet been disclosed by Botafogo or by the Rubro-Negro, which usually buys the allocation for away matches and resells it on their own website.
