So there are numerous reports that Socis are selling their tickets to the Copa final. Just like they did against Frankfurt.
I have been saying for a while now that the Socis are a huge huge problem with the club.
A big portion of them just use their membership for financial gain and don't really give two shits about the club. At best they turn up to the big games and sell their tickets for the rest. The percentage of Socis that turn up to at least 80 percent of games is tiny.
The Socis system needs completely flushing out. Preferably a start from scratch. A member owned club is great in theory, but when those members are snakes in the grass it does more damage than good. You may as well sell the club to Musk.
Not sure how this gets solved as Laporta has to go against those whose votes he relies on, but people are dreaming if they expect us to ever have a proper atmosphere, even in the New Camp Nou, with Socis like these rats.
That's definitely a problem, but a very difficult one to solve. The socio system doesn't need to be changed, the ticketing needs to be. These are two different things.
Many socios are old, too old even to go to the stadium. Many simply use their decades old season ticket to improve their pension.
And if these people die, it goes to their close relatives, who don't necessarily care about football, but still hold on to it to make money. To sell the clasico ticket already returns you the price of the entire season ticket.
The idea behind reselling the tickets is obviously not to make money, but first of all to keep the stadium filled even if you can't attend the games and secondly, invites to become a season ticket holder without the schedule pressure. The club needs to go after the people only doing it for money.
But taking away their rights to resell tickets, will also have an overall decline of the socios as a result and the club obviously doesn't want that either. There should be some middle ground.
