Yesterday, SVT Sport reported that AIK had been forced to withdraw 1000 tickets from their clerk section Norra Stå, following a decision from the police.

Now Hammarby is also being penalized, and forced to do the same before the closing Allsvenskan match against Häcken on Saturday. A decision made by security manager Göran Rickmer is difficult to understand.

- They have stated that it is because of pyrotechnics and that people have been masked. Then we have asked the question what the purpose and the target image are. What should we achieve with this reduction? But they have not been able to define that. They have not been able to define what it gives in practice, Rickmer tells SVT Sport, and continues:

- It's a populist raffle.

"Conditions raffle"

The police permit is given just a few days before the match, and ticket sales start far earlier.

- It was the same against Malmö, then they also removed 1000 places. By then we had sold about 400 of the places already, which we then had to move around in other places around the arena, says Göran Rickmer, who is not satisfied with the so-called condition staircase of the police has worked:

- It is a conditional formula, you can call it. There is no logic and no red thread.

Those who have purchased tickets at places that are now being removed are now offered to sit at other venues on the arena, or get the money back.
