The full picture
Milan fans are boycotting the away trip to Genoa on Sunday due to ticket restrictions. The Curva Sud Milano group announced the decision on social media after learning that fans residing in Lombardy would not be allowed to purchase tickets for the away section. This is unusual as the away trip has been open to fans without restrictions for over 15 years. The decision on ticket sales was expected to be made today.
The Curva Sud Milano group is planning an alternative event, a guided visit to the Genoa Aquarium with their families, instead of attending the match. They will travel by car, coach, and train. The group expressed their disappointment with the ticket restrictions, citing the "inclusive football" preached by Lega Serie A.
The ticket restriction is seen as unusual given the history of the away trip being open to fans. The Curva Sud Milano group's message on social media highlighted the irony of the situation, where fans across Italy can buy tickets except those residing in Lombardy.

"Given the inclusive football preached by Lega Serie A, where for certain matches (such as the upcoming Genoa-Milan), ticket sales are open to all Milan fans across Italy, with the exception of those plague-ridden supporters residing in Lombardy, the organised supporters' groups will boycott the away trip and are preparing a guided visit to the Genoa Aquarium with their families, travelling by car, coach and train..."
