MILAN – When you tot it all up, the conclusion is that Nerazzurri season ticket holders remain just as fond of Inter and just as hopeful about the future. Looking at the numbers alone, possibly even more so than before. Season ticket renewals are up 15% this year compared to the same day of the pre-sales phase last June. And the two-year deal available at the moment is selling twice as strongly, a week into the campaign, as the three-year season ticket offered at the time of José Mourinho's triumphant reign.
Italy is supposedly going through a crisis but it seems no one can live without their Nerazzurri fix at the San Siro. No doubt having Vivaticket.it on board – with its online service and sales network throughout the country – has helped.
So too has the fact that tickets can now be bought at the weekend. Club store Solo Inter (Via Berchet 1, Milan), open seven days a week, registered around 300 season tickets on Saturday and Sunday. Nice orderly queues and a no-nonsense procedure.
Another option for supporters is Pirelli Corso Venezia, closed on Sunday but open again today. You can find it on the red Metro line, Piazza San Babila stop.
And if you're getting off at Duomo, you can get hold of your 2013/14 season ticket at the 'Quelli che Milan Inter '63' exhibition at the Palazzo Reale. Where of course you can also feast your eyes on the trophies won by Helenio Herrera's Grande Inter side.
