Banning Melbourne Victory from selling tickets for home matches is among a host of punishments Football Australia has dealt the club following the shocking pitch invasion last Saturday night.
The sanctions imposed on Friday are effective immediately and until January 15, with Victory's participation in the A-League Men's and A-League Women's competitions dependent on the compliance with the punishments. Victory members are still allowed to attend home games and refunds will be issued for non-members, while the club must cover any fees from ticket-sellers.
"These sanctions come into immediate effect starting with Melbourne Victory's A-League Men's match on Boxing Day away to Western United, and follow the sanctions issued against individuals earlier this week as part of a package of sanctions in response to the incidents witnessed at the Melbourne derby last weekend.
