Fans will only have to pay 20 euros for each ticket rather than the full 40 euros, the club said on their website.

"We have tried to join forces so that we can feel close to the fans and also feel like it's our stadium," captain Carlos Marchena said.

Valencia, who have lost their last two away matches, are in fifth place with two games left, level on 59 points with Villarreal and two behind Atletico Madrid in fourth, the Liga's final Champions League spot.
