Translated & summarized from Mako by baba
The story · English

Maccabi Haifa announced on Wednesday the launch of its season-ticket sales for 2026/27, after a less successful sporting season. The club said the prices have changed from last year.

The most expensive option is the Gold Club category, starting at NIS 5,200. Silver Club memberships begin at NIS 1,900, while seats in the eastern stand start at NIS 1,650.

All other sections, including the northern and southern family stands, the lower and upper Avi Ran stands, and the southern stand, will start at NIS 1,100. The club said the prices were raised only slightly, by 2% to 5%, because of a sharp rise in operating costs for matches at Sammy Ofer Stadium.

Renewing subscribers will receive a free ticket to the Toto Cup derby match as a replacement for the game against Kiryat Shmona, which was played without fans.
