Atlético announce action against ticket misuse for the Copa final

Atlético de Madrid has provided more details regarding the regulations for ticket sales for the final of the Copa del Rey.

Full Statement from Atlético de Madrid

Dear member,

Vídeos OneFootball

The Copa del Rey final on April 18 at La Cartuja (Seville) is a very special moment for all Atlético fans. Precisely because of the enormous demand and the limited number of tickets, the Club is obliged to ensure the proper use of the tickets allocated to members.

Since the application period for tickets to the Copa del Rey final opened, we have detected some cases of improper use of member status, either to obtain a ticket for a third party or to form groups that, in the end, would not reflect the actual attendance of all their members. These situations are detrimental to the entire membership, which is why the Club is applying the measures set out in the internal regulations and the communicated protocol.

You have already requested a ticket for this final and, therefore, we would like to remind you that all tickets allocated to members are nominative, personal, and non-transferable, and may only be used by the member who is the ticket holder.

CONTROL MEASURES

We also inform you that various control measures are being implemented, some of which have already been strictly applied in recent months for away matches, and others specific to this match in Seville:

Nominative tickets, with the name of the member holder shown on the ticket.
Detailed analysis of each group during the application process, verifying its composition and the characteristics of its members (ages, place of residence, degree of relationship, etc.).
Specific verification of the oldest members and/or those with the longest membership.
The Club may implement, as has been done on away trips, an additional identification system (for example, an identification wristband), provided after verifying each member's identity.
Ticket delivery or activation only after verifying the member's identity in the destination city.
All members of a group must physically present themselves at the same time at the place of accreditation/ticket delivery in Seville, showing the ID of each member. If any member does not attend in person, all tickets for the group will be canceled.
Identity check at the access perimeter and/or at the stadium turnstiles, requiring the member's ID to be presented along with their nominative ticket. If the name does not match the one on the ticket, access to the stadium will be denied.
Subsequent verification of those tickets that have not been used or validated at the turnstiles, applying the corresponding measure to the holder and, if applicable, to their group.

We ask that you take these conditions into account and respect them to avoid any incidents on the day of the match in Seville.

MODIFICATION OF THE GROUP

We ask that you take these conditions into account and respect them to avoid any incidents on the day of the match in Seville.

If at this moment you are not certain that you or any member of your group will be able to comply with all these conditions, you must modify your group before the deadline this coming Friday, March 13 at 18:00. Afterwards, it will not be possible to dissolve or modify groups.

To redo your group, you must access the Personal Area, keeping the following in mind:

If you are the coordinator: you must delete the current group and create a new one.
If you are not the coordinator: you must inform your coordinator, since only they can delete it.

The Club reserves the right to apply all or any of these measures to all members or only to certain groups.

If any fraud is detected either during the application process or later during payment or at the time of ticket use, sanctions may be applied not only to the offending member but to all members of the group, and will affect the loss of membership rights both for away matches and for matches at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

If you have any questions, you can send them to socios@atleticodemadrid.com.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Aúpa Atleti
