Overview
- Grêmio purchased the entire visiting allotment at Beira-Rio, around 2,000 tickets priced at R$220, and will resell them to its members for R$100 via its portal.
- The club had issued an official protest over the fee, contrasting it with the R$100 full and R$50 half price charged to Inter fans in the first-round match at the Arena.
- Internacional released a note expressing surprise at the complaint and saying there was no prior formal contact between the boards.
- Inter defended the R$220 as the same value charged to its non-member home supporters this season and cited Article 145 of the Lei Geral do Esporte on parity for equivalent sectors.
- Grêmio says it will seek CBF review as both sides remain at odds ahead of Sunday’s derby at Beira-Rio.
