Barcelona accidentally cancel Cruyff family season tickets

The Barcelona legend's season tickets were automatically cancelled when he passed away. Barça have apologised and promised to reinstate the tickets.

Update:
Johan Cruyff.

Barcelona have accidently cancelled the membership and season tickets of the family of Johan Cruyff – the club legend who passed away earlier this year.

Barça automatic membership cancellation

Barça automatically cancels the status of members when they pass away, and this is what happened in the case of Cruyff after he died of lung cancer in March 2016.

However, according to Spanish daily El País, the club also cancelled the memberships of the Dutchman’s family, for which he also paid for.

The Cruyffs were not informed about the cancellation of their season tickets, and complained about the situation. The club has now apologised. Barcelona explained that it was a "bureaucratic and involuntary error" and promised to correct the issue as soon as possible to reactivate their memberships.

Cruyff a Barcelona legend

Johan Cruyff made 143 appearances for Barcelona during the 1070s and also managed the club for eight years between 1988 and 1996.
