Hapoel Jerusalem to Sell Tickets Directly to Maccabi Haifa Fans

Hapoel Jerusalem announced on Monday that it will sell tickets directly to fans of Maccabi Haifa, a move that contradicts Maccabi Haifa's earlier statement regarding the upcoming match on October 12. Hapoel Jerusalem stated they were unfazed by Maccabi Haifa's decision not to sell tickets for the away section. "We've been in this situation with Haifa before, three seasons ago, when it was a dispute over commission," Hapoel Jerusalem recalled. "6,000 green fans came then and bought tickets through us. People are hungry for football, the teams are in form, there's no reason not to come."

Uri Sheratzky, CEO of Hapoel Jerusalem, commented, "We are not entering into Maccabi Haifa's considerations or the reasons that led them to transfer the sale of tickets for their fans to us. Every club has its own troubles. We promise every Maccabi Haifa fan who comes to the renovated Teddy Stadium an enjoyable, safe, and affordable sporting experience. Most importantly, we are happy to return to our home field for the central match of the 6th round, in front of our fans who have missed seeing Hapoel. As usual in our encounters with Maccabi Haifa, I am sure there will be a good game on the grass between two football teams in good form."
