4. Each spectator must hold onto and keep their ticket or season-ticket card in perfect condition until leaving the sports complex, and must present it when required by an employee of the club or someone collaborating with the club (police, members of the security team, attendants etc.). If you cannot present your ticket, you may be expelled from the sporting complex.
5. Season tickets that grant access to the stadium are property of Real Madrid CF and the unauthorised or irregular use of them will result in the club seizing them, which is also the case for cancelled and expired cards.
