Real Valladolid opens proceedings against eight members for reselling season tickets

Real Valladolid has initiated disciplinary proceedings against eight members of the club after detecting that they have been involved in the resale of their season tickets, a practice that is strictly forbidden in the club's internal regulations, although it is quite common throughout national football. The club has taken this decision after monitoring this situation and observing that it has been repeated since the beginning of the season.

The club considers the resale of season tickets to be a serious offence, as this type of action affects not only the team's finances, but also implies a lack of ethics and respect towards the rest of the season ticket holders who respect the rules and only want to cheer on their team, which is not going through the best of times in sporting terms.

According to Real Valladolid's Internal Regulations, the transfer of a season ticket to another person must be carried out within the channels authorised by the club, always guaranteeing that there is no undue economic exchange.

Disciplinary proceedings underway

After detecting these cases, the club's legal department has proceeded to open disciplinary proceedings against the members involved, who will now have the opportunity to present their allegations in the process. Depending on the seriousness of each case, the sanctions could range from a formal warning to expulsion as season ticket holders, which would prevent them from renewing their membership card in future seasons.

The club's management has reiterated that any type of unauthorised resale is a violation of season ticket holders' rights and a detriment to fans who comply with the regulations.

Call for responsibility

The club has taken advantage of this incident to remind season ticket holders that there is an official ticket transfer system within the club, through which they can transfer their tickets in a safe and legal manner, avoiding any type of sanction. They have also warned that they will maintain exhaustive control over the use of season tickets in order to prevent future cases of resale.
