Anderlecht fans are furious about high ticket prices for upcoming European home matches. The supporters' group Mauves Army has issued a statement sharply criticising the club's communication and calling for action. According to the group, trust between the club and its fanbase has completely eroded.
Prices for the mini-season ticket, which grants access to four European home games, start at 100 euros. For certain categories, costs rise to more than 200 or even 300 euros. Fans report a price increase of 30 percent for some seats compared to the 2024-2025 season. The cheapest category is allegedly 43 percent more expensive. These sharp hikes come at a time when Anderlecht sits in a disappointing 11th place in the Jupiler Pro League with just three points from three games. The team has scored two goals and conceded five, a negative goal difference of three.
In their statement, the supporters' group states that the culture of dialogue and trust has completely broken down. They acknowledge that key staff have left the club, but argue this does not justify complete radio silence. Mauves Army demands that Anderlecht provides a thorough explanation for the price increases to supporters. "Pending that, and in the absence of a response to the general public, we call on supporters not to buy their mini-season ticket for the time being," the group said. They also warned of further steps: "If the club's response is insufficient, we will not hesitate to take action."
The unrest among fans adds to sporting concerns. Anderlecht currently trails league leaders Charleroi by nine points. Recent form is worrying, with two losses followed by a win (LLW). There is also a setback on the injury front, with Lucas Hey currently sidelined. The next chance for recovery is the home match against Genk, who are seventh, on September 6.

Pressure on Anderlecht's board is increasing, both on sporting and commercial fronts. Mauves Army's call not to buy mini-season tickets could have a direct financial impact on revenue from European games. The club's response is being closely watched. Supporters hope for a swift and satisfactory reply before sales for European matches truly begin. The game against Genk this weekend is the team's next opportunity to send a positive signal on the pitch. The full squad and injury status can be followed via our squad page. Anderlecht plays its next Europa League home match on a date yet to be determined.
