Tickets are not exactly flying off the shelf for AC Milan’s first Champions League game against Liverpool, and a report has spoken about the potential reasons why.
As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) writes this morning, Milan are not exactly experiencing their best moment at present, not only in terms of results but in general the atmosphere surrounding the club is far from positive.
A good way to measure the temperature of the fans’ hearts is ticket sales, and one week from today the Rossoneri will welcome Liverpool to San Siro. As two clubs with a combined 13 Champions League wins, there should be a lot of demand.
However, the enthusiasm is ‘very cold’ at the moment towards the club, the coach and the team. The Rossoneri supporters have always shown up in droves no matter what the occasion is, yet the game is a far way from being sold out.
The headline reads: ‘Liverpool are coming, but the fans are cold’. According to the author of the piece, there are two main causes: the price of the tickets that has been set by the club, coupled with the poor results on the field.
The cost of tickets is certainly high but it is not too far from that for the same match played in the 2021 group. The real reason is probably linked to the complicated moment and the discontent towards the choices made by the directors.
We will see if in the final seven days of ticket sales the charm and thirst for a great European night will ‘make a dent in the wounded hearts of Milan fans’. It is possible that fans will purchase them from the box office before Saturday’s game against Venezia, too.
If results are a factor it’s weird how two days ago we were reading that the derby sold out in 5 seconds.
We are technically away in the Derby, so around 9k tickets were sold, there’s a big difference.
A lot of factors really, but I really think that pricing is the main culprit here.
Ah okay – good point 👌
We have the great fonseca as coach, who onwer and management need long time to evaluate. Fan should supported. Maybe we bad at seri a, but maybe we good at champion league, just maybe.
Fonseca Liverpool are a very Good side even informed than us even looked more prepared than us and we can’t win them at home and away if we use Loftus cheek as an attacking midfield and tomori as a central defender because tomori can’t cope with pressure from an attacking team like Liverpool same with Loftus cheek so Mr Fonseca be warned remember we have intermilan on ground otherwise we loosed for Good
“The fans are cold”
As if the players have been red hot on the pitch this season, eh? I wouldn’t blame the fans if Milan had to play in an empty stadium. We all know Pool is going to severely destroy us. 0-4 probably.
Not a whole lot to look forward to, is there? Why aren’t the tickets sold out to an execution of someone you care for? Gee… I don’t know 🙂
It would be fair to the fans if they’d got paid to go and watch that suffering.
