Accepting the Authority’s request, SSC Napoli removed from article 12 of the Regulations to use the San Paolo Stadium" the clause excluding any type of liability of the club in the event of match postponement and expressly recognised the right of the fans to choose between attending the match on the new date and the reimbursement of the ticket. In addition, the Neapolitan football club amended article 9 of the “2019-2020 Season Ticket Conditions ", recognising, in case of provisions that require the match to be held behind closed doors, "the user’s right to use the season ticket already purchased to attend the match as originally planned or, alternatively, to obtain a reimbursement of the share of the cost of the season ticket in proportion to the individual event postponed and/or suspended". Finally, the company amended article 14 of the season ticket conditions, recognising that the competent court in the event of disputes is the one of residence or domicile of the season ticket holder, where the latter holds the status of "consumer".
