Season tickets holders can lend their entry ticket

In season 2023/24 who owns a season ticket can pass his access to another fan of the same category: adults to adults, women to women, kids to kids, with no additional cost.

For most important matches, this is a fundamental way not to waste seats in Tardini and leave empty places when there is high request and box office sold out.

It is also a nice way to make community and help each other without non-profit.

Who owns a paper season ticket have to go on Ticketone website, click on “cambio utilizzatore” and selecting the referring match. After this procedure it will be assigned a document that represent the temporary ticket for the match. Once in Tardini the person has to bring this document and the season ticket of the person who lend it. (Explanation in Italian here)

If someone want to lend a season ticket from a fidelity card it can be done just to another fidelity card holder. The owner have to go on Ticketone website and select the interested match after clicking on “cambio supporto”. On matchday, the person has to bring his fidelity and the seat marker of who lend the season ticket. (Explanation in italian here)

Talking about Parma and the Beauty of Calcio on CittaCalcioUSA podcast

We just took part to Podcast by CittaCalcioUsa, a website about Cittadella in english run by Jake, a great host and a great Cittadella American fan. His daily work to spread his passion is amazing. You find CittaCalcioUSA on Twitter and Instagram.

Always by Parma side

“You are that creased flag, that granpa’s pic at the stadium, that ticket of a match that made you fall in love, that wool scarf that you wear also in June and that jersey with a black cross we are the only ones with.

Always by Parma side.” (P. Chittolini, Parma Fan)

We read these words by Pietro Chittolini, a Curva Nord son, and we fully endorse them. Always by Parma side.

In a way, loosing that way after those two shady matches, made us being even more proud of being on this side.

Ultras (and other groups) united for Romagna

After the recent flood that hit Romagna area, an important chain of solidarity started from all over Italy to help the population affected by this dramatic event.

As often happens in these unlucky moments, Italian supporters community is at the fore front to give his contribution of solidarity, under the radar of mass media.

Ultras ad other fans groups got in connection with Romagna local association, and with local fans groups, also with whom is a huge rival on the pitch, to bring their contribution to who is in need.

One example for all, the 20 people expedition of Pesi Massimi Como, a group of Como fans we already had the chance to talk about for their solidarity attitude. These lads organizes a money collection in the past days, contacted Cesena Ultras – definitely not their football friends – and under their coordination brought tools and men for a practical help.

Almost every Club ultras group – Mantova, Milan, Spal, Reggiana, Piacenza, Parma… – did or is about to do something similar, but you will find notice of it just in a quick post of local newspaper. This is not the kind of news about Ultras world that mass media want to highlight.

But this spontaneous solidarity, this practical attitude, this community feeling is exactly what we like about Football.

The Ballad of Faustino Asprilla, an eleven made in heaven

Tino birthday was few days ago, what a better way to celebrate him than a love song?

Thanks to the Norwegian band Pelicat – follow the guys on their Instagram page or YouTube – we can demonstrate one more time how football is not a matter of results, statistics, trophies and money collectors. Football is a language, is an Art that can capture the heart of passionate people. Few footballers, few Artists, pierced the heart like Tino did. We all Parma fans know this, every Newcastle fan know this, every sensitive, passionate football lover know this.

Faustino Asprilla from Tuluà, Colombia, “an eleven made in heaven” that probably will not be remembered in the alamanacs of who consider the football just a matter of data, numbers and Ballon d’Or collection, will never, never, never be forgotten by (footballistic) pure-hearted.

We all felt in love with you, Tino, with your unpredictability and your somersaults, and every time, like Pelicat say in their Ballad for Faustino Asprilla:

“And it felt like a movie

Everytime you put on your shoes

No one brought the beauty

To the beautiful game

Like you”

If this is not Love, then what is it, Love?
