"As reported by SPORT, Barcelona have identified approximately 100 members ( socios) involved in the illegal resale of tickets for Tuesday's match. These cases were caught through daily analysis of ticket sales. The details have been passed to the Disciplinary Committee, which will now decide on the sanctions for each member found to be selling their seat to rival fans."
"To prevent this, Barcelona launched a special operation, making all tickets available exclusively to club members. Barcelona have warned that ticket scalping endangers the safety and well-being of other fans. To ensure the stadium remains Blaugrana, Barcelona have put strict measures in place, including increased security personnel, ID and visual checks at the entrances and coordination with local authorities."
Barcelona identified around 100 club members involved in illegal ticket resale for the upcoming Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt and forwarded details to the Disciplinary Committee for potential sanctions. Daily analysis of ticket sales detected the scalping activity after the club limited ticket availability exclusively to socios following the 2022 Europa League incident when numerous Frankfurt fans filled Camp Nou. Barcelona warned that ticket scalping endangers fan safety and increased security personnel, implemented ID and visual checks at entrances, and coordinated with local authorities. The effectiveness of these measures in reducing resales remains uncertain.
