Colchonero Success: Overwhelmed Fans for the Derby!
Atlético de Madrid’s fans have once again demonstrated their unwavering support for the team. The club allocated the available tickets for the exciting Champions League Round of 16 first leg match against Real Madrid.
With a limited capacity of 3,875 seats at the Santiago Bernabéu, demand exceeded all expectations, reaching an impressive 11,217 applications. Faced with this avalanche of requests, the club implemented its usual allocation system, prioritizing the seniority of members, either individually or as a group.
The cut-off was set at 15.24 years of membership, meaning that 7,342 members will not be able to accompany the team in this important match. The price of the tickets, limited by UEFA to a maximum of 60 euros for visiting fans, was not an impediment to the Colchonero enthusiasm.
The club will contact the lucky members to coordinate the collection of tickets, which will be nominal and non-transferable. This derby promises to be a spectacle both on the field and in the stands, with a Rojiblanca fan base willing to give everything for their team.
