A middle part prevents Thijmens Blonde from hanging in front of his eyes, but Blind could also have cycled the way to the Telstar Stadium: he has been a season ticket holder for seven years. Also this year he did not miss a competition of De Witte Leeuwen. Okay, he wasn’t there once. “Then I was on vacation and I watched live.”
But now Thijmen has a big problem. Now he could have been able to call or email, but chose to just walk into the welcome hall of the stadium this morning, before his work. For real fans it remains the ‘Schoonenberg’, even though it has been called different for more than fifteen years: the 711 stadium. Thijmen is waiting for someone who can help him.
Telstarticket madness
Thijmen grabbed in addition to a ticket for the away match against Willem II. According to the twenties, that was ‘due to a mistake in the system’. And that is sour, because that match is the clash of the century for Telstar. Afterwards it becomes clear whether the club will be promoted to the Eredivisie for the first time since 1978. The tickets are now all sold out.
That Thijmen misunderstands, says a lot: a rare telstart ticket madness has broken out. In Velsen-Zuid, many people have almost everything left for a card. And that is handy, or slinks, respond to: tickets at usury prices are offered on Marktplaats. One seller even asks 100 euros, four times as much as Telstars most expensive card. “Absurd,” said Leon Annokkée general director.
