Atlético de Madrid takes measures to prevent violent incidents
Atlético de Madrid has decided not to sell away tickets to season ticket holders in the lower south stand (animation stand) for the next five away games in October and November. This includes games against Real Betis, Unió Esportiva Vic, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Mallorca and Sparta Prague.
This measure is taken after the incidents in the derby against Real Madrid and the game against Benfica in Lisbon, where some Atlético fans made Nazi gestures and salutes at the game. The club acknowledges that this measure is unfair to many season ticket holders who have behaved correctly, but it is necessary to eradicate this type of behavior and protect the image of the club and its fans.
