Levante give out free season tickets to their loyal fans after promotion back to La Liga
LEVANTE will give out free season tickets to their loyal fans next season after promotion back to La Liga at the first time of asking.
The club, based in Valencia, will return to the Spanish top flight a year after finishing bottom – as president Quico Catalan made a promise to supporters.

That pledge was that if they went to 18 or more games in Segunda Division, he would give out the free seasons tickets upon promotion.
And they did that after just a year away, with Catalan honouring his word – meaning Levante fans can now watch the visits of the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid for FREE.

Catalan told ESPN: “All our members that went to watch our team in 18 games (of 21 possible home matches) will get a free season ticket for next season.
“That is the pledge we made at the start of the season when we unveiled our aims and it was on the proviso that the team gained promotion to the top flight.

“The fans had to be, and are, part of this success. It’s a beautiful way to reward and generate a sense of fidelity towards this club.’
Catalan believes about 80 per cent of his side’s fanbase did go to 18 or more games, meaning they will be rewarded with the best stars of world football for nothing at their Ciutat de València stadium.

Levante sealed their promotion with a 1-0 home win over Real Oviedo, putting them 19 points clear of third place Getafe – and they will likely go up as champions as well.
But it was a different tale last year, as they were relegated as bottom side in La Liga, after six straight years.
