Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade might be attracting some huge crowd to the Stark Arena this season, but there are certain rules and safety measures to be adhered to.

Ahead of the upcoming EuroLeague contest against Panathinaikos Athens on Friday night, the Serbian club is expected to announce one more sellout, which amounts to 20,094 fans. With that number, Partizan will surpass the threshold of 300,000 in the regular season, a record that seems tough to break in the following years.

At the same time, they finished the ABA regular season with nearly 100,000 tickets sold, proving once again that they're the team to watch this year.

It is a fact that the stands of the Belgrade Arena have continuously been full, and for this very reason, Partizan sent an appeal to all fans to respect safety regulations during matches.

"KK Partizan Mozzart Bet is the pride of Serbia and the whole of Europe when it comes to the number of fans who come to the matches and the atmosphere that has traveled all over the world from Stark Arena," the club's announcement reads.

"Heartiness, dedication to the club, knowledge of the game, and the moment when the team needs additional support are things in which fans of Partizan are unmatched compared to any EuroLeague fans.

However, the growing interest, which is multiplying from game to game, has also led to problems in the organization of games when it comes to respecting the strict regulations of the highest-quality European competition.

The stairs leading to the entrance and exit of the hall must be empty at all times! Failure to comply with this regulation, which guarantees a quick and safe reaction in the event of any problems, is severely punished, which Partizan Mozzart Bet has already experienced."

In this way, the club appeals to the awareness of the fans that regardless of the fact that moving a step or two in a big crowd brings them some additional comfort, they always have in mind how much damage it causes to Partizan.

In agreement with the security service, controls at the entrances to each of the sectors will be additionally strengthened from the next match. The goal of increased control is to ensure the prescribed standards for security at games, in every possible way.

Fans will be able to use their season tickets in the EuroLeague playoff games.
