Elche Confirms Charter Train for 500 Fans: Conditions for Travel to A Coruña

Deportivo La Coruña has confirmed that the visiting section will have 863 seats available at €20 each for Elche fans this coming Sunday, in a crucial match for promotion to the First Division. Despite the thousand-kilometre distance, Elche supporters have shown great interest in travelling to Galicia to support their team at Riazor.

Elche has swiftly responded to provide all possible facilities for the fans. The club confirmed on Tuesday that it will charter a train on Sunday with a capacity for 507 people, aiming to facilitate travel to A Coruña for the match against Deportivo.

However, Elche clarifies that due to high demand for this important match, it has been necessary to establish objective criteria for organising this trip. Thus, season ticket holders who have accompanied the team on at least four away trips during the 2024/2025 season can purchase their match ticket and train ticket, or just the match ticket, from Tuesday at 16:00 until Wednesday at 10:00 via the Season Ticket Holder Portal, under the Ticket Request section.

The price for each seat is €120, including the match ticket, and if only the match ticket is purchased, the price is €20. Both the right to purchase the train ticket with the match ticket and the match ticket alone are personal and non-transferable.

Elche will subsidise a significant portion of the charter train. "The club once again demonstrates its commitment to the season ticket holders, as it has throughout the season and as stated by its majority shareholder in the last press conference," emphasise sources from the club.

Additionally, the club wants to announce that it has made significant efforts to facilitate this trip and, although a second train was attempted, it was not possible due to limited availability of units.

Once this process is completed, any remaining match tickets and train seats will be available for the rest of the season ticket holders from Wednesday at 14:00 via the Season Ticket Holder Portal.

The special train will depart on Sunday, 1st June, at 06:55 from Elche-Matola station (arriving at 13:06). The return from A Coruña, after the match, will be at 22:30.

The outbound journey will take six hours and eleven minutes, and the return journey will take five hours and forty-five minutes, arriving at 04:15, according to club sources.

• Price: €120 (includes round-trip charter train journey + match ticket).

• Departure: Sunday at 06:55 from Elche-Matola station.

• Estimated arrival in A Coruña: 13:06.

• Return: After the match, at 22:30.

Tickets will be managed directly by Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña and sent via email on Friday, as has been done for other organised trips this season.

Season ticket holders who have purchased a train ticket must go to the South Stand ticket office at the Martínez Valero Stadium on Saturday, from 10:00 to 14:00, and present their ID to receive an identification wristband, which will allow them to board the train. The club reminds that the wristband is personal and non-transferable and must be shown along with the ID when boarding the train.

Elche CF encourages its fans to support the team in this historic match. At the same time, it thanks Deportivo for making the entire section reserved for visiting fans available, "demonstrating the dignity and greatness of this historic Spanish football club."
