San Siro open to season tickets holders

Only Milan season ticket holders will be allowed in to San Siro for the game against Livorno after emergency changes.

The official AC Milan website confirmed the news this evening following an inspection by the authorities earlier today.

Work carried on through the night to install 28 new turnstiles at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, bringing the arena closer to the Legge Pisanu recommendations, at least enough to allow in the 37,297 Rossoneri season ticket holders.

"The rest of the work will be completed within the next two weeks, so the San Siro will be up to standard very soon," added security chief Giovanni Terzi.

While all fans are not yet allowed into the venue, Milan will have their supporters in the stands for Sunday’s clash with Livorno.

"I consider it a violation of the season ticket holder’s rights to deny them access to matches they have paid for," insisted club President Silvio Berlusconi.

As former Prime Minister, he wasted no time in attacking the current Government’s sweeping clampdown on football-related violence in the wake of Chief Inspector Filippo Raciti’s death.

"The tragic incidents in Catania happened outside the stadium, so locking out season ticket holders is not addressing the problem. As Prime Minister, I would never have passed such a law."

The club website has urged Milan supporters to arrive at the stadium early and will only be allowed in from a limited number of gates.
