The home sections for IFK Göteborg are sold out for the derby against BK Häcken. Demand from away supporters has been significantly weaker, according to major media reports, with BK Häcken's allocated tickets not selling at the expected rate. Sales to the away sections have not yet reached 1,000 tickets sold, according to the organizer.
Parts of the away tickets have been released for sale to IFK Göteborg supporters instead. According to Göteborgs-Posten, Filip Wilander described the plan as allowing Häcken to have the entire away standing section, while some seating areas above it have been released to IFK Göteborg supporters due to Häcken's sales pace. The decision means the standing part remains reserved for away supporters, while some seating areas will now be filled by home fans, and the away section is partially empty.
It feels like crap. It's just to say that we have to get better. It's a call to all Häcken supporters to be faster.
BK Häcken's supporter club Getingarna does not view the development positively, according to major media reports. According to Göteborgs-Posten, Johannes Jensen described the situation as disappointing, noting it is a call for Häcken supporters to improve their response time, but he did not criticize IFK Göteborg for reallocating seats given their high demand. The total number of tickets allocated to BK Häcken for the away section has not been disclosed, nor has the specific number of tickets released to IFK Göteborg supporters.
The expected attendance for the derby and how it compares to previous derbies remains unclear, as do any measures BK Häcken or its supporter clubs might take to improve ticket sales for future matches.
You can't say anything about Blåvitt releasing those seats when they have the pressure and interest that they have. I can't criticize that in any way actually. It's something we have to sharpen up with in the yellow-black gang.
The plan is for Häcken to have the entire away standing section. It is a part of the seating areas above that have been able to be released to blue-white supporters due to Häcken's sales pace.
