Laporta puts it in the hands of the members to prevent a new German invasion

BarcelonaThe most painful image from the Barça - Eintracht Frankfurt match in April 2022 wasn't Barça's elimination from the Europa League quarterfinals. It was the invasion of German fans at Camp Nou. More than 30,000 supporters invaded the Barça stadium, which for the first time seemed to welcome away goals more than home ones. As fate would have it, the two clubs will face each other again this season in the Champions League. If there's one thing Joan Laporta's board is clear about, it's that these scenes cannot be repeated.

For this reason, the club has imposed restrictions on ticket purchases, which will only be available to Barça members. The club announced this in a statement. "With this measure, the club gives absolute priority to its members, a fundamental pillar of the institution, and guarantees that the stadium becomes a space for celebration and support exclusively for Barça fans." At Barça, they are aware that some members may buy tickets and resell them. Therefore, security controls will be reinforced from the point of sale onwards, and especially at the entrance to Camp Nou. Thus, access to the stands will not be permitted with shirts or symbols of the opposing team – except, of course, in the area reserved for them in the stadium. The club also warns that if any suspected resale is detected, the case will be referred to the club's disciplinary committee. "The success of this operation hinges on the responsibility of all buyers. In this regard, any ticket found in the possession of an Eintracht Frankfurt supporter in the home section will be registered to identify the member involved in the purchase and subsequent sale to the opposing fans, as this puts the safety and well-being of the rest of Barcelona at risk." Tickets have been on sale since Wednesday, with prices ranging from €59 to €199. Members receive a 35% discount.
