‘Passively suffer without blinking an eye’ – Curva Sud angry about Cagliari ticket situation

The Curva Sud have once again spoken out against what they perceive to be ticketing injustice, this time by Cagliari.

Milan will play their final game of 2025 on Sunday in the lunchtime kick-off against Hellas Verona at San Siro. Then, on January 2, they will welcome in the new calendar year with a trip to the island of Sardinia, where they will face Cagliari.

In a statement published on their social media channels, the Curva Sud Milano have once again spoken out against the high ticket prices and poor organisation of away matches in Italy, something they have done a few times before.

Half the expected number of fans will be travelling to the game next Friday, which is obviously not an ideal situation. The following is from the official Instagram story of the Rossoneri’s ultras group.

“Cagliari Calcio were supposed to provide 820 tickets for away fans, as per the Lega Serie A resolution, but instead, as has been the case for years, they’ve only granted 415, with fans who’ve already bought flights, spending hundreds of euros, consistently being left without tickets.

“Added to this disgrace is the €49 ticket price compared to the €25 for the home stands, for a stadium built with construction site scaffolding tubes… A further insult, in addition to having 405 fewer tickets than they were entitled to, is the cost of the section, which is a modest €120… AND AC MILAN, AS ALWAYS, PASSIVELY SUFFER WITHOUT BLINKING AN EYE…

“Let’s see if Serie A and AC Milan will deign to try to resolve the problem, asking Cagliari to respect the rules and award the 405 missing tickets in the section next to the away fans at the same price, or if they will once again be complicit in this disgrace. And since the issue of away fans’ prices is of little concern to many, perhaps it’s time for our club to pay the away fans who come to San Siro in kind.

“It’s certainly not the normal solution to be hoped for in a civilised country, but at this point where everyone continues to look after their own little garden, perhaps it’s appropriate to involve everyone in the heart of the problem, to arrive at a meritocratic solution with controlled prices, like in other European leagues…”
