For a place in the away box during the Europa League match between Qarabag and Ajax, over 1,000 tickets remain. Normally, all away tickets are sold in no time, but now members of the supporters’ association are even up for grabs. Ajax will play the Azerbaijani league leaders in just under two weeks’ time.
Such a membership is often not nearly enough to get a ticket. These tickets are subject to a system where supporters can save points for every European away match.
This way, the 470 most loyal Ajax fans of this season are first in line for each European away match. This is followed by the supporters who have travelled slightly less often and therefore have accumulated fewer points. So for Qarabag away, you now only need to be a member of the supporters’ association.
The fact that so many tickets are still on sale at this stage of ticket sales is rare in recent years. The fact that Baku is not around the corner is of course an explanation why Ajax fans are not so keen to follow their club to the Asian continent. There are no direct flights and you are at least seven hours away.
Presumably, there are more reasons that deter Ajax fans from booking a trip to Baku. A return ticket quickly costs more than 500 euros. Moreover, people with Dutch passports need a visa to enter Azerbaijan. There were 1560 tickets on sale, so there are at least just under 400 supporters who do venture the ‘crossing’.

Dit is een beetje non-nieuws was 500 tickets is echt veel voor een Europese uitwedstrijd zo ver weg. Er werd in awayday gangers kringen verwacht dat er misschien maar 200 man zouden gaan. En de ticketverkoop voor SVA loopt nog. Al verwacht ik niet dat er veel bij zullen komen.

Ik zat er zelf heel erg aan te twijfelen maar is toch net ff iets te ver, zou net een dagje teveel vrij moeten vragen want ik ga dan niet al na 1 dag weg.
