This is reflected in the accumulated figures regarding the sale of seats to witness the duel live. The yellow entity, until yesterday, had already sold more than eight thousand tickets. If we add to these fans who have already passed through the box office on this side of the shore the 11,115 members of the local club that they have insured and the 1,300 tickets that are going to be sold at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López, an influx of more than those is almost guaranteed. twenty thousand spectators at the Siete Palmas Coliseum.
There are about ten thousand seats left to sell; Today, on a holiday, the Stadium ticket offices are still open
Although speaking fully with ten thousand tickets still to be sold seems exaggerated, saying that the total capacity of Gran Canaria will be touched is not out of the question. Tickets for Saturday’s duel are on sale at ticket offices 7 and 8 of the Siete Palmas venue – in the Curva stand, next to the club store. Hours, including today’s public holiday, are from 10:00 to 18:00.
On the same day of the meeting, the sale of tickets is reinforced with a special service -with the opening of ticket offices 3, 6 and 9-. Prices range between 25 euros for Curva y Naciente and 35 for Sur -adults-. Tribuna (45), Special Tribune (55) and VIP (75) complete the offer. For children under 17 years of age, the prices are as follows: Curva y Naciente (10), Sur (12), Tribuna (18), Special Tribune (20) and VIP (20).
If on the island of Gran Canaria the mobilization for the game is in crescendo as the derby date approaches, in Tenerife the situation is more or less similar. Yesterday the last 150 tickets that were in the hands of the blue and white club went on sale.
Around ten o’clock in the morning the four ticket offices in the Herradura area of the Heliodoro Rodríguez López Stadium were opened and at that time there were almost 200 people in line with the intention of being able to buy a ticket at the price of 35 euros.
Only 120 minutes later the sign of no tickets was hung, a situation that raised some complaints from Tenerife fans. But to his delight, it was announced from the entity that a new package would be put on sale. UD Las Palmas gave Tete 200 more tickets, making a total of 1,300. These will go on sale on Thursday, starting at 10:00 am.
“The full one is very complicated”
Despite the great expectation that this Canarian derby of the tenth day of the Smartbank League is generating, the president of the yellow club, Miguel Ángel Ramírez, acknowledged yesterday before the microphones of Cope Canarias, where he coincided with his counterpart on the rival side , Miguel Concepción, the full crowd at the Gran Canaria Stadium «is very complicated». «The derby with the most fans was with 29,000 people. The Insular Stadium had a capacity for 22,000 people. And that figure we have exceeded many times in the derby. If we manage to be 21,000 or 22,000 people on Saturday we would be satisfied, because it would be above the Insular figures. I do believe that we are going to achieve it, ”pointed out the yellow boss.
In his forecasts, Miguel Concepción expects that a number of blue and white fans will travel to Gran Canaria similar to that of the last regional rivalry matches held at the Siete Palmas venue. “There will be a thousand people from Tenerife together and another 500 dispersed fans. Tenerife fans are going to be noticed in the game, ”explained the Tete president.
It does not go any more. UD Las Palmas, sixth in the Second Division qualifying table with 14 points, against CD Tenerife, fourth with 17. Both in playoff spots. The most soccer-loving Canary Islands rub their hands together in a duel in which the fans of one and the other will also give their all.
