Due to the large crowds expected at tomorrow night's Tel Aviv Derby, supporters are respectfully requested to arrive at Bloomfield stadium as early as possible and to purchase tickets from vetted sources only

Ahead of tomorrow night's league tie against Hapoel Tel Aviv, Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club call upon all their supporters to arrive at Bloomfield Stadium as early as possible due to the large crowds expected at the match. In order to relieve some of the pressure anticipated also at the stadium gates, ticket offices at the stadium will be open two hours before the start of the match. At recent matches, cases have also been reported of fans trying to enter into terraces not designated for them. Be aware that any fans caught attempting to do so will be removed from the stadium without any recourse to a ticket refund.

In addition, the club call upon their supporters to acquire their tickets from vetted sources only. Recently cases have been reported of scalpers attempting to sell counterfeit, used, invalid or disqualified tickets. Possession of such tickets results in such awkward situations as delays at entrance queues and the necessity to restrain such ticket holders from entering through the gates. Please bear in mind that for this particular match seating was only made available to Maccabi Tel Aviv season ticket holders so other club fans are strongly advised not to come to the stadium on the day of the match in the hope of obtaining individual tickets.
