The Lucentum Foundation and Intercity have begun selling season tickets, marking a coordinated move just a day after a new single-subscription option was announced for the upcoming season. The decision has sparked mixed reactions among fans of the Alicante-based clubs, with some supporters voicing concerns about how the joint ticketing arrangement could affect loyalty and identification with their own teams.
In a formal statement, Kali Nord, a supporter group associated with the Alicante club, objected to the combined Lucentum-Intercity season ticket. The core worry is that the arrangement would obligate a season ticket holder for one team to also subscribe to a football club that may not align with their personal interests. The club argued that social media reaction has amplified fears and created a perception of a mass movement that may not reflect real fan desires. The statement emphasizes that, while collaboration between clubs can be based on shared benefits, membership should remain a voluntary choice and not a forced consolidation of memberships. The Alicante club urged that fans should retain the freedom to choose Lucentum exclusivity if that is their preference.
Daniel Adriasola, who leads the Lucentum Foundation, chose not to engage in further public disputes with supporters and instead highlighted the broader support Intercity provided during the previous season. He asserted that freedom of thought should prevail and stressed that Intercity’s participation is a voluntary option, not a required path. Adriasola praised Intercity for standing behind Lucentum through difficult times and reiterated a commitment to expanding that support in the future. The commentary also suggested that the Intercity subscription should be viewed as an optional feature rather than a mandatory solution, reinforcing the intent to empower fans to decide how they engage with both clubs.

The arrangement is framed as a strategic move to strengthen social and commercial ties between two local teams while preserving the autonomy of each club’s brand and membership policies. Club leadership argues that the partnership is designed to create additional value for supporters, with the aim of sustaining momentum, improving fan experience, and fostering broader community involvement. The leadership also emphasizes that the two clubs are working together to maximize operational efficiency—handling communications, marketing, and event planning in a way that benefits both organizations without compromising their individual identities. In public remarks, Lucentum’s top executive reminded fans that Intercity has not interfered with daily club life, and that the collaboration exists to enhance rather than restrict fan participation. The emphasis remains on voluntary engagement and on maintaining clear distinctions between the two clubs while leveraging shared opportunities for growth.
The note concludes with a practical clarification: the joint sponsorship and ticketing initiative is not driven by the league’s cost structure but by a mutual pledge to support seasons that reward loyalty and community backing. The clubs report strong demand on the first day of ticket renewals, with a large number of supporters choosing to renew or upgrade their season plans. The reaction from the fan base highlights a broader conversation about how regional teams manage partnerships, respect supporter preferences, and balance collaboration with independence. Fans are encouraged to stay informed about evolving options and to participate in forthcoming discussions that aim to refine how both teams can thrive together while honoring the values of each club.
