The air around Estádio do Dragão is buzzing. It’s not just about football; it’s about fierce loyalty. Fans are showing incredible faith in FC Porto, securing their spots for the new season at a record pace.
On Monday morning, annual seat sales reopened. Within just an hour, the club had already sold more season tickets than the entire last season. That’s a powerful statement from supporters.
This rush happened after the first sales period ended last week. That first period was for members renewing their seats or swapping them. Now, all club members can buy these coveted annual passes.
This wave of demand is leading to something truly special. For the first time ever, FC Porto might have to start a waiting list for annual seats. Think about that: even when the Dragão stadium first opened in the 2003-04 season, demand wasn’t this high.
The stadium holds around 50,000 people. But FC Porto sets a limit on how many annual seats they sell. They are now just over a thousand seats shy of reaching that cap. This shows the deep bond between the club and its dedicated fan base.
