This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Il Giorno, via FCInterNews. They report that the sales of the most expensive tickets will be decisive as to whether the match breaks the €7.6 million record.
Later this month, Inter meet Juventus in the first of two Derby d’Italia clashes in Serie A this season.
It will be the Nerazzurri hosting the first fixture between the two in the campaign.
Naturally, the Derby will be a huge showpiece occasion for Italian football and the biggest match of the round of fixtures.
Naturally, meetings between the two city rivals tend to be among the most hotly-anticipated in Serie A, no matter what the league table looks like.
And as is often the case, this month’s meeting between Inter and Juventus could play a decisive role in the title race.
Inter Vs Juventus Clash Could Break Serie A Gate Receipt Record
Not surprisingly, the Derby d’Italia will be a complete sellout.
The San Siro will host a full house of largely Inter supporters, while the Juventus fans will do their part by filling the away end.
Moreover, the match will have some of the most expensive tickets of the season at the San Siro. This is due to the demand to see such a prestigious match.
And according to Il Giorno, the gate receipt for the match that Inter bring in could be record-breaking.
Currently, the record for gate receipt earnings in the Italian top flight is €7.6 million.
That is for the first derby of last season, in September.
And according to Il Giorno, the first Derby d’Italia of this season will be very close to that.
And in fact, the newspaper predicts, if the most expensive tickets sell at high prices, it could even break that record.
