Racing will expel members reselling tickets for Real Madrid match

Racing will expel members caught reselling tickets and season passes for Sunday's Real Madrid visit, after detecting dozens profiting from the high-demand fixture.

Real Madrid visit Racing Santander on Sunday (16:15) for the first time in over 15 years, generating huge demand. The club released around 4,000 tickets on Monday, which sold out in under two hours. Racing prioritized sales to its 18,500 season-ticket holders and members with supporter cards, with over 3,000 people queuing virtually.

Within hours, tickets appeared on resale portals at prices 60% higher than Racing's official €50–€120 range. The club investigated and identified dozens of members reselling their tickets or season passes. Racing will immediately expel any members caught reselling, and has reminded supporters that those unable to attend can use the club's official seat-transfer scheme, which gives Racing extra revenue and offers season-ticket holders a discount for next season.
