For the Champions League match between FC Barcelona and Napoli at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, March 12 (9.00pm), strict security and ticket control measures are being put into operation as established by the club for matches classed as high risk, especially in terms of ticket sales and the presence at the stadium of visiting supporters. The goal is to guarantee the utmost safety for all people attending the game.
An appeal is therefore being made to all the fans of the visiting team, Italian club Napoli, who do not have a ticket, not to go to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, because they will not be able to purchase tickets anywhere around the ground. Only those Napoli supporters who have a ticket distributed by their club and for the area reserved for visiting fans will be able to attend the match.
The measures that have been established for this high-risk fixture are the following:
- Tickets bear the holder’s name.
- Given that the game has been declared ‘high-risk’ by the Anti-Violence Commission, opposing fans cannot be present in areas for home fans.
- Tickets sales to IP addresses of the country of the opposing team and credit cards have been blocked.
- Announcement on the website during the sale period that tickets are intended for sale to FC Barcelona fans only.
- Prohibition of wearing clothing or accessories identified with the visiting club anywhere other than in the area reserved for opposing fans.
- Fans must have the required documents at hand (ticket and passport or ID document) to be shown if requested.
- Enable access 10 and 11, used by visiting fans.
- No tickets to be sold at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys ticket booths.
- Tour operators cannot sell tickets to fans of the visiting team either.
