Barcelona Vice-President: Acknowledges that current ticket prices are too high and is preparing a tribute event in line with Messi’s status

Vice-President and Head of Barcelona Space Project Elena Ford attended the media meeting as a representative and talked about some matters regarding returning to the Nou Camp when playing against Athletic Bilbao this Saturday.

Ticket pricing issues

Ford admitted that the current ticket price is on the high side, but said that it will be gradually adjusted as the stadium capacity increases. "We will gradually adjust the ticket price according to the progress of the project. It must be taken into account that the game held at the Johan Cruyff Stadium has sacrificed part of the income. This is only a temporary state. When the project is completed and all season ticket members return, the situation will return to normal. "

Barcelona management confirmed that visiting team fans will not be received at this game, but the visiting team fan stands area has been determined for subsequent games. In order to meet the requirements of the Champions League, visiting team fans will be arranged in the wing areas of the second-floor stands.

Elena Ford believes that in terms of "courage" to promote the stadium renovation, Chairman Laporta should be the kick-off guest in the first game of the new home stadium. "This only represents my personal opinion. " Talking about Messi's appearance ceremony, she said "deeply honored " and promised to prepare a tribute event consistent with his status.

About the return celebration arrangements

Barcelona has planned a grand return celebration: after the pre-match warm-up, the Figa Flawas band will perform a 15-minute performance; the players will be accompanied by a unique arrangement of the Barcelona team song when entering, and the Catalan Orfe Youth Chorus will sing "Barcelona Anthem", accompanied by a fireworks display synchronized with the music. During the intermission, the representative Catalan music group The Tyets will perform on the stage - the band has performed at many Barcelona first-team games.
