Hapoel Haifa will subsidize its fans a third of the ticket price for today's game in Kiryat Ata, after the Red fans were outraged by the price set by the host, and threatened not to attend the away game.
The club's official announcement reads: "
The Hapoel Haifa basketball club has been alert to the discussion in recent days and the justified anger of the fans regarding the exorbitant price of the tickets for today's game against Elizur Kiryat Ata.
"The club believes that there is no justification for charging such an expensive price. During the week, the club contacted the management of Kiryat Ata on the issue, but the price did not change. The club that is managed by volunteers and operated by volunteers and the unique relationship between the management and the general public is the cornerstone of our club, led to the club's decision, on An extraordinary step in which the club itself will subsidize the ticket price for an adult."
Any Hapoel Haifa fan who purchases or has purchased an adult ticket for today's game in Kiryat Ata (1:30 p.m. Remez Hall in Kiryat Ata), will receive a refund of 25 NIS in cash, so that the final cost of the ticket will be 50 NIS.
Chairman of Hapoel Haifa, Yuval Rossman:
"As soon as we saw the high prices we realized that we had to act.
It was clear to us that we would not ignore our fans and we would do as much as possible so that they would come in droves, which is why we decided to absorb the difference.
Dear fans, I am now personally addressing each and every one of you and calling you to come to Kiryat Ata today and support us in the important game.'
