AIK continued doing business with ticketing partner Universal even after publicly announcing the collaboration was terminated, according to a new book by journalist Olle Lundqvist. The club stated in autumn 2025 that the partnership had ended, but SVT reports that the relationship carried on behind the scenes, with Universal still handling away-ticket sales and hospitality packages. The revelations, uncovered via internal AIK documents and email correspondence, point to a disconnect between the club's public messaging and its private dealings. For a fanbase still reeling from a 3–0 home defeat to Sirius and the mid-season exodus of key players, the integrity questions now raised off the pitch add another layer of frustration to an already turbulent campaign.
