On October 24, OL will host Besiktas. Before this duel which promises to be fraught in terms of security, the club has already planned to take certain measures, including a ban on reselling its place.
Since the announcement of Olympique Lyonnais’ future opponents in the Europa League, we know that the reunion between OL and Besiktas promises to be lively. A story that dates back to April 2017, when the last opposition between the two teams took a bad turn and clashes took place in the stands.
Obviously, the return of the Turkish team was taken very seriously by the Rhone club, especially since the Istanbul supporters had arranged to meet their French counterparts. But on Thursday October 24, the date of the poster (9 p.m.), Besiktas fans will not be present, a prefectural decree prohibiting their coming to Décines having been published last week.
The club will be extremely vigilant about the resale of tickets
But that does not mean that the club has not planned anything to ensure the safety of the spectators populating the bays of Parc OL. In fact, it gives priority in ticketing to subscribers, who can already purchase their ticket for this meeting. The Decinois enclosure is also in reduced capacity for the moment, namely a capacity of 30,000 people for the moment.
But above all it will be particularly vigilant with regard to the resale of places. This will be prohibited, and for those thinking they can slip through the cracks, the Rhone institution reserves the right to pursue fans using this device.
