Curva Sud announce silent protest ahead of Roma-Milan due to ticket prices

AC Milan’s Curva Sud has announced that they will stay silent for the first 15 minutes of the match against AS Roma on Friday night at the Stadio Olimpico.

In a statement released on Instagram on Wednesday (as seen below), the Curva Sud expressed further anger about the price of away tickets in Serie A which are not standardised.

As they point out, Milan fans travelling to the Olimpico on Friday will be paying €65 each for their tickets, whilst in the first game of the season, Salernitana fans were charged €35 to be in the away end of Olimpico.

Fans of bigger clubs are charged more money despite the fact that supporting a successful club does not mean that the fans are more wealthy.

A banner calling for cheaper away tickets was unveiled by the Curva Sud against Torino at San Siro last weekend and as well as having that banner at the Olimpico, fans will be silent for 15 minutes.
