The Italian Milan Club Association announces that, on the occasion of today's Milan - Cagliari match, the banners will be displayed upside down.
This decision is made in response to the urgent need to protest the grave situation that has arisen following the club's decision to radically change the ticket sales procedures for Milan Clubs.
This change was communicated only on January 8, 2025, and starting from the Derby match (February 2, 2025, at 18:00), ticket requests can no longer be processed through the AIMC, and each member of the Milan Club will have to purchase their ticket individually online.
This new sales method, implemented mid-season, will create multiple difficulties for the Milan Clubs in organizing away trips to San Siro, as the elimination of the "collective" purchase via the AIMC, given the capacity of collective transport vehicles, undermines the feasibility of the trip itself. We remind you that through collective transport, Milan Clubs provide the opportunity for individuals, families, children, young people, and the elderly to attend matches of their beloved team—thousands of people who would have difficulty traveling alone to reach San Siro, where collective transport ensures an orderly and safe trip in compliance with public order regulations and for the safety of the fans.
Although the reasons behind this new sales method are clear, it would have been reasonable and certainly more respectful of our Association's historical role, as well as the efforts of all Milan Clubs, for this decision and new sales method to have been planned in advance with AIMC, so that it could be introduced starting from the next sports season, allowing the Milan Clubs, with AIMC's support, to act and organize in time.
This morning, in an urgent meeting between the AIMC President and AC Milan's CEO, Dr. Giorgio Furlani, it was decided that the online ticket purchase method for Milan Club members, in their dedicated phase and at the same price reserved for season ticket holders, will initially be reserved – solely for system adaptation purposes – for CRN holders registered with Milan Clubs. Later, once fully implemented, it will only be operational with the membership card issued by AIMC, noting that AC Milan will make available, during the Milan Clubs' exclusive purchase phase, a pre-ordered quantity of tickets to satisfy a number significantly higher than what is currently reserved for AIMC's Milan Clubs.
This was reported by the AIMC official website.
