No further ticket sales for Utrecht match

06 April: Ajax.nl announced today that there will be no presale of tickets for the upcoming Ajax vs FC Utrecht match at the Arena on Sunday, 21 April. All further ticket sales for the match have been immediately suspended, and anyone who does not already have a ticket will be prohibited from obtaining one.

Violence between supporters of Ajax, FC Utrecht and riot police was serious enough to interrupt the TV broadcast of the match and cause over 100,000 Euros in damage to the Arena. More than 100 Ajax supporters were arrested. [Photo: ANP]

The decision has been taken in order to avoid a recurrence of the trouble that occurred during the Young Ajax vs FC Utrecht Amstel Cup game on 29 March.

The game has now become a "season ticket holders only" event, which makes it easier for Ajax and the police to identify possible troublemakers.
