Italian football clubs face fan backlash over season ticket policies

Como announced a new rule that any season‑ticket holder who misses more than three home matches without a valid reason will have the ticket revoked and may lose the right to purchase a ticket for the next season. The club also urged ticket owners who cannot attend to transfer their tickets only to known supporters, citing safety and the desire to preserve the stadium atmosphere as it prepares for its first Champions League campaign.

Lazio is experiencing a large‑scale boycott of its season tickets, with only about 7 % of holders renewing. The protest, driven by dissatisfaction with club management, could cost the club up to €20 million in lost revenue. Fans have organized demonstrations and urged supporters not to renew tickets, opting to attend only away games. The boycott adds pressure on the club’s ownership and threatens its commercial value.
