FC Barcelona has unveiled a comprehensive set of requirements and security measures ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt, with the club emphasising its commitment to protecting member rights and preventing ticket fraud.
In a statement issued late Friday, the club reiterated that all available seats, excluding those allocated to away supporters under UEFA regulations, will be offered exclusively to Barça members. To strengthen security and guarantee ticket authenticity, all tickets will be delivered solely through the SOCIS App, with no PDF versions produced for this match.
The club stressed that tickets for this fixture are non-transferable, meaning only the individual whose name appears on the ticket will be allowed to use it. As a result, FC Barcelona confirmed that allocations submitted through the usual confirmation form system will not apply for this game.
Enhanced Security Protocols
FC Barcelona also outlined several heightened safety measures to be implemented at Spotify Camp Nou:
- Reinforced security personnel at all access points and within the stands, tasked with handling incidents and removing supporters when necessary.
- Visual and ID checks for anyone displaying Eintracht Frankfurt colours or symbols, aimed at detecting fans who may have acquired tickets through unauthorised means.
- Close cooperation with Eintracht Frankfurt, the Guardia Urbana, and Mossos d’Esquadra to prevent rival supporters from gathering near the stadium and to curb illicit resale activity.
- Daily monitoring of ticketing data to identify unusual purchasing behaviour that could signal fraud.
- Referral of suspicious cases to the Club’s Disciplinary Committee, which may impose sanctions if fraudulent activity is confirmed.
The club emphasised that these measures are designed to ensure a safe matchday environment and to preserve the integrity of member-exclusive ticket access for major European fixtures.
