Ticket Sales Halted for Dutch Cup Final

The Dutch football association has stopped the sale of cup final tickets for neutral sections of the host stadium due to fears that tickets will fall into the wrong hands, according to Nos tv.

Many sections of the Rotterdam’s Kuip stadium are now likely to be empty during the match on April 25.

The decision comes after numerous reports that hardcore hooligans are planning to disrupt the match. Rotterdam mayor Achmed Aboutaleb is due to unveil extra security precautions on Thursday.

Violent clashes between Ajax and Feyenoord fans in the past have led to away side fans being banned from matches between the two clubs.
