Today’s edition of “Il Giornale di Sicilia” focuses on the sale of tickets for the guest section of the Penzo for Venice-Palermo.
There is great anticipation for the opening of ticket sales for the guest sector in view of the decisive match between Palermo and Venice, which will be held tomorrow at the Penzo. Palermo fans are determined not to leave the team without their support in this important return match of the playoff semi-final.
Tickets will only be available starting from 12pm today, creating difficulties for Rosanero fans who want to be present. Their presence is seen as fundamental to energize the team, which must win by two goals to reach the play-off final and hope for promotion.
Only non-residents in the provinces of Palermo and Venice with fidelity cards will be able to purchase tickets, thus excluding organized local fans but allowing residents in northern Italy to participate. The sale will only last seven hours, from 12pm to 7pm today, due to regulations.
Initially it was thought to extend the restrictions to the entire Veneto region due to the proximity to Padua and the connection between Palermo and Padova fans, but this idea was overcome. The away section of the Penzo can accommodate 1,000 fans, a number that could be limiting considering the large number of Palermo fans in northern Italy. During the regular season, Palermo players were always supported by numerous fans on away matches, such as in Modena, Piacenza and Parma. However, given the limited time available, it is difficult to predict the turnout for this match.
