Napoli-Cagliari, half a million « virtual » queue for online tickets. Conte orders: away 4 from the banners. And the number disappears
Digital remote for the last championship: coupons at increased prices
Ten Maradona would need to contain the request of the Napoli fans for The challenge on Friday evening at 20.45 against Cagliari, The one that could assign the fourth Scudetto to the Azzurri. A virtual tail of almost 500 thousand users, in the face of a capacity of 55 thousand spectators. Nobody wants to miss the historic appointment at the Fuorigrotta stadium and as soon as the Lega Calcio has made official that the race will be played on Friday, together with that of Inter in Como, the feverish hunt for the ticket started.
Yesterday at 3 pm Phase 1 of the online sale, reserved for the owners of Fidelity Card SSC Napoli, with the possibility of buying up to 4 coupons at a discounted price, loaded in digital format on the card. So all in front of a PC, a mobile phone or an I-Pad with a quick connection to grab the precious coupon, the historical one that can become collectible. The result was under everyone’s eyes, after only an hour: 450 thousand fans were in a virtual queue which increased up to 500,000 and almost finished tickets, with little availability of the lower ring of the curves. The prices, a little higher, did not scare: they range from 55 with the Fidelity of the higher curves (60 free sale) to 175 euros (220 free sale) of the Posillipo Premium tribune.
Nine sold out below Maradona
And there will be the fully exhausted, the fourteenth seasonal, the consecutive ninth. A fact that Napoli hardly reached in recent years and that testifies to the great blue passion. After a seasoned season like last year with the change of three coaches and the tenth place, the Neapolitan fans have returned to crowd the Maradona. Phase 2, or the free sale, is scheduled for today (from 2 pm) both online (passbook mode, ticket on the smartphone wallet) and in the stores (in paper format), always until the seats are exhausted.
The sale of tickets in the guest sector, about 3,000 seats, is temporarily suspended pending the decisions of the competent authorities. It is not excluded that the sector, in the event of a scarce request from Cagliari fans, a team that has already obtained salvation, can be reserved for Neapolitan fans. It will be decided, however, only in the next few days also because the two fans have often come into contact in the last periods and have not been loved since 1997. In Naples the play -off relegation between Piacenza and Cagliari and the partnership fans lined up with those of Piacenza, trained by the former blue technician Bortolo Mutti who won and sent in B the Rossoblù was played. Previously a treatment by the Sardinian fans not exactly correct against the double ex Daniel Fonseca had also been recorded in Cagliari. The provocations of Sardinian supporters began on social networks: to make him difficult life for the Scudetto and we avenge that 1997.
The third ring
There is no shortage of controversy from those who have not managed to buy tickets. Many blue supporters complained that they have not found availability in the receivers. Inconveniences that are not counted when there is a great demand. Napoli this year welcomed 915,395 spectators at home, with an average of 50,855 per game. The maximum was against Inter (53,851), the minimum against Bologna (45,000). In the last races, however, given the path of Conte’s team, the request has grown dramatically. That’s why, beyond the restyling for the European Championships of 2032, the reopening of the third ring is very awaited thanks to the 8,000 more places.
More sober flags
The city is entrenched behind superstition. The Scudetto is there one step away but as Conte said, you have to go get it. In the historic center there are no colors and flags. Some reckless showcases exposed the tricolor, and the image of MCTominay appeared in a votive newsstand. The same tourists who wander around the city expected to admire perhaps more folklore and a more blue Naples: they had to settle for the Largo Maradona. Many buy tricolor gadgets, but nobody still exposes them. It preserves and prepares, waiting for the triple whistle on Friday evening. And then he can explode the party after so much tension.
Conte: via the … and the number disappears
« We stay on the piece, we are concentrated and I don’t want to see flags around with random numbers »: the appeal of Antonio Conte Done to the fans at the press conference after the race with Parma, several neighborhoods of Naples replied exposing banners and flags where the number 4 is practically absent. As Fork Very blue neighborhood where the flags and the stroke of incitement to the team are. On the largest, exhibited right at the entrance of the district, the word « Forza Napoli » and that’s it. « When it is – anticipates one of the fans who mounted it – we will be ready to glue the number … » and closes the phrase without even naming it.
