Calm and aware of its current reality, the club entered a new phase after a cautious year. The traffic around season tickets, previously tied to a broader push, shows signs of consolidation as the organization plans for the near term. The sale of national football tickets, which paused the previous campaign, will not resume until the coming month. The club does not intend to press ahead with last season’s process. Initiatives began on 12 August, well ahead of the new season, giving the Alicante office ample time to process thousands of applications before the league kicks off. This period allowed the venue to sign up more than five thousand cardholders, underscoring solid local interest and engagement.
The 2023-24 academic year will commence during the first weekend of September, with activities scheduled for September 2 and 3. Last year’s coach sat on the bench as late as early September, a reminder of how the calendar has shifted: the project’s home debut previously took place in Palma. The one fixed point in the upcoming season is the timetable for the regular league, with play-off dates outlined as follows: semi-finals on May 11-12 and 18-19, and the final slated for May 25-26 or June 1-2, depending on progression. These dates anchor planning and expectations for supporters and participants alike.
Hercules surpasses 5,000 subscribers
Should Hercules begin its home league campaign in the first week of August, the season is likely to proceed on a similar timetable to last year, with the initial wave of teleticket sales followed by the distribution of physical subscriptions purchased through the network toward month’s end. The approach prioritizes a smooth transition from online sales to in-person fulfillment, ensuring supporters can collect their cards ahead of kickoff. The season will be informed by a pattern of engagement that has historically helped the club manage demand and reduce friction for fans attending matches at home venues.
Queue up to three and a half hours to get the Hercules subscription
In a climate of tight budgets, supporters have faced an unusually level playing field, with ongoing discussions about pricing and value for money. The prior year’s package included all regular-season games inside Alicante and the opening round of the King’s Cup, a model that set expectations for the current cycle. As costs remain a central concern, renewal offers have been crafted to include various incentives and discounts, though the ultimate realization of some benefits has faced delays tied to broader scheduling and competition changes. In response, the club is aligning promotions to maintain accessibility while preserving the quality of experiences offered to supporters.
Season ticket holders who renew their passes have enjoyed additional discounts for playoff access and a favorable price structure, but the practical realization of these benefits has depended on broader competition timelines and organizational adjustments. The aim remains to provide value while acknowledging the realities of the calendar as it evolves.
RIP: a long-time Hercules supporter passes away
A notable change in the club’s ecosystem is the loss of a longtime partner who had been associated with the club since the 1930s, a period spanning nearly a century of support. The supporter passed away during the early part of June at the age of ninety-eight, leaving behind a legacy tied to the club’s most formative decades. The online progress in card processing reflects an ongoing effort to streamline operations, a transition that allows leadership to pause certain activities during the celebrations of promotion or success in other venues, such as Orihuela, while capitalizing on public enthusiasm for the club’s continued ascent. The organization remains focused on maintaining momentum and honoring the contributions of its most dedicated volunteers and fans, even as the landscape of local football continues to shift around them.
