Season Ticket Transfer Rights for 2025-2026
Season ticket (kombine) holders have limited rights to transfer their seats during the 2025-2026 campaign:
– Women and student-discount season ticket holders:
– Can transfer their season tickets for up to 3 matches in the entire season.
– All other season ticket categories:
– Can transfer season tickets for up to 6 matches during the season.
However, for matches against Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor, season ticket holders cannot transfer their seats to another person directly. Instead:
– They may only hand over their seat to the club on a match-by-match basis.
– If the club successfully sells the seat for that particular game, 47% of the ticket price for that match will be credited to the season ticket holder’s Passo account.
– This amount can be used as a discount when renewing season tickets for the following season.
—
When Season Ticket Transfer Quota Is Used Up
If you have already used all your allowed transfers (3 or 6 matches, depending on category), you still have one option:
– For any additional match you cannot attend, you may transfer your season ticket to the club.
– In this case, the club may put your seat on sale for that game under its own control.
This does not count as an individual transfer between fans; it is purely a handover to the club so that your empty seat can potentially be resold.
—
What If You Can’t Attend a Match With Your Season Ticket?
Season ticket holders who cannot attend a particular game can still get value from their ticket:
1. Transfer the seat to the club for that match.
2. If the club sells your seat, 47% of the match ticket price is converted into bonus points (parapuan) and loaded onto your Passo account.
3. These accumulated parapuan provide a discount for the 2026-2027 season ticket renewal.
Important condition:
– For your transfer request to be approved, all seats in the same category as your season ticket, which the club has already released for sale, must be sold out first. Only then will the club put your seat on sale and potentially generate parapuan for you.

Special Tribunes for Veterans, People With Disabilities and Relatives of Martyrs
Beşiktaş once again opens dedicated tribunes for:
– Veterans (gazi)
– Relatives of martyrs (şehit yakınları)
– Supporters with disabilities
Key rules:
– Eligible supporters can submit a request for free tickets by filling in the relevant forms completely and accurately.
– Since the capacity for these special tribunes at Tüpraş Stadium is limited, ticket loading will be made according to the order of applications received from 12:00 onwards, and will be completed on the following day, as long as capacity remains.
– Fans using these tribunes must hold a BJK-branded Passolig card.
– All supporters benefiting from these tickets must bring official documents proving their disability status, veteran status or their relation to a martyr.
– Those who fail to present valid documentation will not be allowed into the stadium, even if they hold a ticket.

Provincial Security Board Decision for the Galatasaray Match
The Provincial Security Board has implemented strict rules for this derby to enhance safety and control:
– Only supporters holding a Beşiktaş-logo Passo card are allowed to purchase tickets for this game.
– Fans who cancelled a Galatasaray-logo Passo card on or after 7 March 2024 are not eligible to buy tickets for this match, even if they currently hold a different card.
– Tickets purchased for this fixture cannot be transferred to another person.
– Season ticket holders can only transfer their seat to the club for this match (no direct person-to-person transfers are allowed).
These measures aim to keep the stands strictly separated in terms of club allegiance and to reduce security risks both inside and outside the stadium.

Sanctions From the Göztepe Match: Closed Blocks
Following the Beşiktaş-Göztepe game played on 22 February in Matchweek 23 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, the Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) of the Turkish Football Federation imposed a one-match stand closure penalty due to offensive and inappropriate chanting by home supporters.
As a result:
– Certain blocks in Tüpraş Stadium that were sanctioned after the Göztepe match will be closed for the derby against Galatasaray.
– Supporters whose season tickets are located in those penalised sections will not be able to use their seats for this match.
– The club follows the official PFDK ruling regarding which specific blocks are affected and communicates directly with impacted fans via their registered contact details.

Practical Tips to Secure a Ticket for the Derby
Demand for the Beşiktaş-Galatasaray derby is traditionally enormous. To maximise your chances:
– Prepare your accounts in advance:
– Ensure your BJK SuperApp and Passo login credentials are correct and up to date before 10:00.
– Make sure your BJK Passo card is active and associated with your ID.
– Log in early:
– Be online and logged in a few minutes before 10:00 if you have Kara Kartal+ pre-sale access, or before 12:00 for general sale.
– Avoid refreshing excessively if placed in a virtual queue; follow on-screen instructions.
– Have your payment method ready:
– Save your card details securely in the app if possible, or keep them handy to speed up checkout and avoid timeouts.
– Choose categories strategically:
– High-demand areas (VIP and central lower tiers) often sell out first.
– If your priority is simply to be inside the stadium, consider mid-range categories or East Upper, where tickets are moderately priced and may remain available for a bit longer.

Advice for Matchday and Stadium Entry
Once you secure your ticket:
– Arrive early:
– For derbies, security checks and turnstile queues can be extensive. Aim to reach the stadium area at least 90 minutes before kick-off.
– Bring valid ID:
– Always carry a government-issued ID that matches the details on your Passo card and ticket.
– Check your gate and block:
– Verify your entry gate, block and seat number in advance via the BJK SuperApp or Passo app.
– Follow signage and steward instructions to avoid congestion.
– Respect security rules:
– Items such as large bags, glass bottles, fireworks, and many types of banners are not allowed.
– Failure to comply with the regulations can result in ejection from the stadium and possible sanctions for future games.
—
Avoiding Unauthorised Resales and Scams
Due to the strict no-transfer rule for individual tickets to this match, supporters should be exceptionally cautious:
– Do not buy tickets from unofficial sellers, social media contacts, or scalpers.
– Tickets obtained outside official Passo channels may be cancelled without refund and can lead to entry being denied at the gate.
– Since ticket transfer is blocked for this derby, any offer of “transferred” or “name-changed” tickets is almost certainly invalid or fraudulent.
Always confirm your purchase only through BJK SuperApp and official Passo channels under your own name and Passo card.
—
Maximising the Value of Your Season Ticket
For season ticket holders unable to attend certain matches:
– Get into the habit of submitting your seat to the club early, before the game attracts last-minute demand.
– Monitor your Passo account parapuan balance and plan how you will use the discount for the 2026-2027 renewal.
– Remember that the 47% share applies only when the club succeeds in selling your seat; simply requesting a transfer does not guarantee parapuan.
Over a full season, regularly utilising this option can significantly reduce your future season ticket cost while ensuring the stands remain as full as possible.

With ticket prices clarified, sales timelines set and all regulations in place, Beşiktaş supporters now have a clear roadmap for securing their seat for the derby against Galatasaray. Whether you are a season ticket holder or buying a single ticket, following the procedures and deadlines carefully will be crucial to being part of one of the season’s biggest nights at Tüpraş Stadium.
