This Tuesday, last day to get tickets for Friday's home fixture
The first group of the season-ticket holders have until 7:30pm to buy their tickets in person and until 8pm online
4,100 UD Almeria season-ticket holders will be able to attend Friday’s home fixture on 20 August. It will be the first LaLiga SmartBank match against Real Oviedo to be played at the Juegos Mediterráneos (kick-off 10 pm/ Spain Time). This has been required by the National Health System with regard to the measures adopted for sporting events, including those of the Professional Football League (LFP).
It has been determined that the access is 40% of the capacity, the fact that there must be a separation of a seat, on both sides, between the spectators. One row must be left without supporters both in front and behind those occupied seats. This means that 40% practically becomes 29% of the capacity of the Juegos Mediterraneos Stadium.
As a result, UD Almería will be able to give access to 4,100 season-ticket holders, half of the 8,239 renewals. For this reason and, according to what other clubs are doing, it has been chosen to give the option in this first home match to half of the season-ticket holders whose cards have the reference (top left next to the crest) number from 1 to 37,027. These numbers are always the same for the season-ticket holder year after year and do not vary depending on those who unsubscribe.
These season-ticket holders have until 8pm (online) this Tuesday, 17 August to get their ticket for the game and will be able to choose any seat. They have two alternatives, either through the website abonados.udalmeriasad.com or in person at the Club offices from 10am- 1:30pm and 5pm-7:30pm.
If the available seats were not completed, a new period to sign up would be opened up online to any season-ticket holder: Wednesday, 18 August (10 am)- Thursday 19, August (7:30 pm). If not online, the fans could sign up in person at the Club offices on the same days with the following opening hours: 10am-1:30pm/ 5pm-7:30pm.
The Club has made the decision that the other half of the season-ticket holder with card reference numbers from 37,028 to 48,740 will have the first option for the following UD Almería-Málaga CF match scheduled for 4 September (kick-off 9pm/ Spain Time), as long as those current measures adopted by the authorities remain in place since there will be a meeting on 29 August to determine the capacity based on the coronavirus pandemic cases.
As for the tickets, they will have the name of the season-ticket holder and will show the gate and specific time of access to the Stadium. Fans will wear a FFP2 mask at all times while eating, drinking or smoking is not allowed. The Club will offer water at the gates for the attendees since they will not open the snack bars.
