FAN DECISION FROM ALKMAAR
AZ Alkmaaar Club published a statement about the fans wearing yellow and red before their match against Galatasaray.
It was announced that Galatasaray fans who have tickets from places other than the away tribune will not be allowed into the stadium and its surroundings.
AZ CLUB KART KURALI
AZ Alkmaar Club stated that tickets will only be sold to AZ Club Card holders, and that there is a high probability that tickets sold otherwise are fake or blocked tickets.
It was emphasized that tickets for this match will be sold on AZ Alkmaar’s official website, and the tickets will be delivered on the match day by presenting the AZ Club Card.
It was stated that Galatasaray fans’ tickets will be sold from Galatasaray Club.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? It seems like AZ Alkmaar is trying to keep the excitement of the UEFA Europa League to a minimum… for Galatasaray fans, at least!"
Ah, the thrill of international football! The suspense, the drama, the thrill of possibly being turned away at the door because you’re wearing the wrong team’s colors (or should I say, the wrong team’s aroma wafting from your socks?). Yes, folks, AZ Alkmaar has laid down the law for Galatasaray fans heading to the 5th week match of the UEFA Europa League. And let me tell you, it’s a real laugh riot.
First, the essentials: Horatiu Feşnic from the Romanian Football Federation will be the man in charge, with Valentin Avram and Alexandru Cerei assisting. Because, you know, refereeing is all about having great supporting acts. And in the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) chair, we have the esteemed Sebastian Coltescu, with Catalin Popa providing assistance. The Fab Four of European refereeing, if you will.
Now, onto the main event: Fan-gate, Alkmaar Style! In a bold move to ensure order and tranquility (read: suppress any possible enthusiasm), AZ Alkmaar has decreed that Galatasaray fans will only be allowed in the stadium if they’re wearing the right… oops, I mean, seated in the right area. If you’re a Galatasaray supporter and have a ticket for anywhere outside the designated away Tribune, you might as well be wearing a "I’m with stupid" t-shirt. You’re not getting in, mate.
And why’s that, you ask? Well, it’s because AZ Alkmaar has ingeniously implemented an AZ Club Card system, which is essentially a fancy way of saying "we don’t trust anyone who doesn’t have this card." You see, tickets will only be sold to card-carrying members (which, I assume, involves a secret handshake and a loyalty oath). If you’re a Galatasaray fan, you’ll have to get your tickets from… wait for it… Galatasaray Club! What a surprise! It’s like AZ Alkmaar is trying to prevent some sort of… I don’t know… footballing free-for-all.
In a bold move to prevent ticketing chaos (read: trying to ensure no Galatasaray fans show up at all), AZ Alkmaar has also warned that any tickets sold outside of their official website are probably fake or blocked. Because, you know, what could possibly go wrong with buying a ticket from a shady website? It’s not like that’s a common practice or anything.
In conclusion, it seems AZ Alkmaar is taking no chances. No funny business, no hanky-panky, no sudden appearances of… randomly-priced Dutch pancakes (which, incidentally, would be a great idea). No, sir. This is a by-the-book operation, all the way to the top (or, in this case, the bleachers). So, to all you Galatasaray fans out there, do make sure to pack your AZ Club Card, and for goodness’ sake, wear the right colors. And to AZ Alkmaar, well… nice try, mate.
Attendees be warned: If you do manage to sneak into the stadium wearing a yellow and red Galatasaray jersey, don’t be surprised if you’re met with a sneak peek of the Alkmaar Police Department’s finest welcoming committee.
