Deportivo La Coruña has logged 5,395 season ticket holders renewing their passes within the first 48 hours of the campaign, despite strong opposition from fan groups over the price hike.

What exactly happened?

The ticket drive kicked off on July 22 and, in less than two days, surpassed last season’s figure of 5,300. The club kept the renewal option open for last‑year members until July 26. Meanwhile, the Federation of Fan Clubs, Riazor Blues and Old Faces held an assembly at Riazor and urged their members not to renew as a protest against the conditions imposed on Marathon Inferior supporters.

Why does it matter for Deportivo?

Renewing over 5,000 tickets guarantees stable revenue that the club needs to keep pushing for promotion. With 65 goals scored and 44 conceded (+21 goal difference) and a 2nd‑place standing in Segunda División with 77 points, the side sits just 5 points behind leaders Racing Santander. Keeping the fan base engaged helps fund signings and squad upgrades, essential when the title race is so tight.

How does the fan protest affect the club?

Supporters in Marathon Inferior must renew in person and show an official ID, preventing the transfer of tickets. The fan groups have called a demonstration for next week, trying to slow the renewal pace. So far, cancellations are low, but if the protest gains traction the club could see a dip in season‑ticket income.

What’s next for the campaign?

Fans who haven’t renewed can change seats between July 19 and August 12, by appointment. The club will then open a phase for new memberships, anticipating a possible return to Primera División. The last match saw Deportivo lose 1‑2 to Las Palmas on May 31, yet the recent LLWWW run (last five games) shows momentum on the team’s side.

What’s the financial outlook?

Members paying by bank transfer have until July 23 at 13:00 h to complete the process. The "Deportivista" service desk at Riazor stadium will continue handling issues, especially for Marathon Inferior supporters facing stricter rules. The club hopes most ticket holders will stay on board, securing the financial stability needed for the season’s final push.
