King Abdullah Sports City Stadium will host the biggest match of the season on Saturday.
Leading up to the event, fans of Al Hilal have complained of the high ticket prices for visiting fans.
Prices for visiting fans are as high as €115 (300Riyals) for the allocated seats, about 30% of the total capacity.
In protest of the unfair hike in ticket price, Hilali faithfuls have refused to purchase a large chunk of tickets still available for sale.
To counter that, Al Ittihad are giving the away fans until 24 hours before kickoff or risk seeing those tickets sold to Ittihad fans at a lower price, reports SPL.

Should that happen, it will see the home supporters occupy more than 70% of the stadium capacity.
However, as stated in the report, an influential member of Al Hilal is planning to buyout the remaining tickets worth €990,00 (4M Riyals).
That would mean the Blues having a telling presence in Jeddah as they hope to cut Ittihad’s lead to just one.
