Amedspor Ticket Chaos: 122,000 Fans Queue Up

Amedspor Leadership Addresses Off-Field Controversy

Club President Nahit Eren, alongside İstişare Kurulu Başkanı Nesih Aktepe, Asbaşkan Şengül Saruhanoğlu, and Futbol Şube Sorumlusu Mustafa Altın, held a press briefing to discuss the team’s start. President Eren stated that as a young club newly promoted to the Süper Lig, they spent two months preparing the organization with local stakeholders. However, according to Eren, daily criticisms and the generation of constant controversies have reached a questionable level of intent regarding Amedspor.

“We want to express our discomfort with a new topic being created every single day over Amedspor,” Eren said during the press conference. He noted that the club operated on a modest budget to build a competitive roster for the top flight, acknowledging that while the squad may lack deeper resources, securing players willing to move to the city presented a significant challenge.

Ticketing Demand Overwhelms Passolig System

Ticket demand for matches has severely strained ticketing infrastructure, according to club data. President Eren revealed that during the previous match against Başakşehir, 122 thousand people logged into the Passolig system within the first 10 minutes to purchase tickets, marking what ticketing officials recorded as the highest volume of interest since the system’s inception.

Given that the stadium capacity is limited, fulfillment proved impossible. Eren noted that out of total available tickets for recent fixtures, the club managed to allocate a portion of seats to its own supporters by reducing staff and youth-team player allocations. Furthermore, Eren reported that certain individuals entered the stadium and caused damage to doors and facilities, noting that security measures fell short of expectations and required future coordination with public institutions.

Stricter Stance Against Matchday Misconduct

Club leadership emphasized zero tolerance for unsportsmanlike behavior or property damage inside the venue. Eren stated that individuals throwing foreign objects or using inappropriate chants do not represent the core values of Amedspor.

“The culture of Amedspor does not include violence, throwing foreign objects onto the field, sexist remarks, or insulting chants,” Eren said, adding his belief that repeat offenders act with deliberate intent to damage the club’s reputation.

Addressing officiating concerns, Eren noted that the club historically avoids criticizing referees publicly. However, recent matches pushed management to voice their frustrations. According to Eren, while the club seeks no special privileges, leadership demands a transparent, fair management approach from the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) and adequate protection for the players’ on-field labor.
