Västerås SK has postponed the ticket release for its home match against Hammarby on 29 November after a large group of visiting supporters signed up as club members. The club announced the decision on its website.
Membership gives priority access
The club’s reasoning is that 750 Hammarby supporters have become members of Västerås SK. That membership could give them priority access to tickets, which would disadvantage the club’s own supporters in the sale.
The move turns the usual ticketing process on its head for this fixture. Clubs in Sweden often see visiting fans push for allocations, but a sudden influx of members from the opposing side is a rarer situation, and Västerås has chosen to pause the release rather than let it go ahead as planned.
