"By the time Barcelona announced that away fans cannot to accommodated this Saturday, several Athletic Club fans had already planned their travel and stay in Catalonia to witness the game and cheer their team on. 582 fans, specifically, had already made such arrangements. The Basque club, thus, have decided to hand out the tickets meant for the immediate environment of players and the manager to the fans who have already made arrangements."
"The board are contacting all fans who have made arrangements for the trip to Catalonia to check if their travel was cancellable and are handing out tickets to fans who cannot claim a refund on their plan. As a result of the same, there will be a small travelling troupe of fans in the Spotify Camp Nou's first game post-renovation, which Barcelona will look to kick off in grand style."
Barcelona will host the first match at the renovated Spotify Camp Nou after over 900 days, but away supporters cannot be accommodated due to security concerns and lack of secure seating. Several Athletic Club fans—582 in total—had already planned travel and accommodation for the fixture. Athletic Club will reallocate tickets originally provided for the immediate environment of players and staff, labelled as 'commitment' tickets, to fans who cannot cancel non-refundable travel arrangements. The club board is contacting affected supporters to confirm eligibility and distribute those tickets. A small travelling group will thus attend the reopening match. Barcelona officials plan celebratory elements including a surprise guest for the commemorative kick-off.
