Mi Tie: Hundreds of Genoa fans buy tickets under pseudonyms, trying to interfere with the relegation battle of their arch-rival Samp

At 2:30 am on June 16, Sampdoria played against Sarenitana at home in the first leg of the Serie B relegation playoffs. In order to attract fans to cheer on the spot in the battle of life and death, the ticket price of this game is only 2.5 euros to 5 euros, while Sampdoria season ticket users can buy tickets for only 1 euro. Ticket sales are booming, with 21,400 sold, including 300 visiting team fan tickets.

But then it was discovered that some of the Genoa fans bought tickets under pseudonyms. Many Genoa fans use the pseudonym Massimo Ferrero, who is the former chairman of the Sampdoria club, and some other Genoa fans choose the pseudonym Olly Balorda Nostalgia, the singer is a Sampdoria fan. There are also fans who use the name of Italian Football Association Chairman Gravina to buy tickets. Genoa fans believe that Gravina is the "master behind" who punished Brescia for relegation and helped Sampdoria relegation.

In addition, there are many Genoa fans who choose to pretend to be former players who have played in Sampdoria, such as Bazani, Volpi, Vlaki, Garone, etc. Some fans also chose Genoa's famous names, such as Diego Milito and Franco Scolio. Some fans even chose some famous Italian murderers' names, such as Alberto Stasi and Michele Misser.

Genoa fans hope to use this method to interfere with the ticket sales of their arch-rival Sampdoria and allow Sampdoria to have many open spaces in this relegation play-off at home. Sampdoria officials have subsequently discovered this move by Genoa fans and have canceled all tickets purchased using very ridiculous pseudonyms, totaling about 100.
