Nou Camp tickets

There's been threads on this before but all seem to have had anecdotes of how non-members come across tickets.
I want to go to one of the following games,
Tue 31 Oct FC Barcelona - Chelsea
Sun 01 Apr FC Barcelona - - Deportivo
Sun 11 Mar FC Barcelona - - R.Madrid
Sun 10 Jun FC Barcelona - - Espanyol
Alternatively,
Sun 14 Jan Espanyol - - FC Barcelona
would do but i've been told that'd be nigh impossible to get into.
What's the safest way to guarantee yourself a ticket?
+ What are the chances of a good seat?
I know its a round arena-type venue but the top of the third tier doesn't sound too appetising.

Top of the third tier is excellent. Highly recommended for a view you won't get anywhere else...

Madrid tickets are sold out. Sold only to members and gone within a fewdays of going on sale. Went last year and there were a few available on the day at near enough face value. If the league is tight and there's no CL around that time, it could be harder.

CL tickets are on sale to members but Chelsea will be ahrd to get as loads and loads of English looking for tickets. unlikely to get them cheap

No other games in the nou camp should pos you any problems. All will have tickets on sale on the day. Just go to the ticket office at the Nou Camp. it really is that simple. There's no such thing as a bad seat in the Nou Camp i its not raining.

Espanyol v Barca in the Olympic stadium is easy to get to as you'd be surprised how few barca fans go to that.

Cheers Dodge, you're not a member, are you?
I'm at the severe disadvantage of not having a credit card.
I AM surprised at few Barca fans going to the Olympic.
Is that derby in the Nou Camp as electric as El Derbi?

Think I will jsut piggyback this thread as its similar to my request! Malaga are playing on Sunday fortnight at home adn the only tickets that I can seem to see are from some English supporters club at 50 stgs a piece. On the club site it has them from 20 yoyos but I can't figure out how to get them if there is any need at all! Has anyone gone to see Malaga or has any advice on it?

Nah, Espanyol don't count at all to Barca fans. You could quite easily go round Barcelona for a week and not know they exist. Even at the stadium there's a little coffeshop at the top of the first tier thats open to the public and they sell FC barcelona scarves and not Espanyol ones...

I'm a member yeah. You don't need a credit card for going to the the other games. I'd saty away from the Chelsea game, far too likely to be mistaken for an Eng-er-lander. Go with the Deportivo game and stroll up on the the day and get your tickets

Dunno Duffman, but anytime i've seen them on telly, the ground appears half-empty.

Ya reckon Chelsea game would be unsafe so?
Even in my City jersey and Barca scarf?
They're definitely the top two clubs in Europe atm so i would have loved that.
Turns out its sold out anyway.
:(
Thanks.

All Spanish club sell tickets on the day (bar the huge games) Should have no problem getting a ticket for anywhere.

I have this idea of doing a football fans travel guide. One day, one day....

WTF?Is this a �78 season ticket to the Nou Camp?
(Click on the highest purple tier)

I use to be a season ticket holder there Duffman, but often my mates would come over and you could buy a ticket at the ground. The touts are even pretty reasonable.

Sometimes the members will let you in using their season ticket. You take their card though the stile, then hand the money and card back to them when you go through.

Regarding Barcelona, again you will pick up tickets on the day of the game. I once indulged myself to go the Real Madrid match there....I paid a horrendous amount of money for a ticket (maybe Eur300). But worth every cent :)

I think you can get a ticket other places in the town - the tourist information office in Placa Catalunya for sure. The stadium is near the Maria Christina subway station.
29/09/2006, 1:15 PM
Dodge

Those other places aren't official and will charge extra.

THERES a SUBway sandwich bar at the end of teh ramblas that sells em
29/09/2006, 3:29 PM
Dodge

Again, unofficial. Saves you getting the mtro out to it if you're staying near Las Ramblas/Placa de Catalunya though
29/09/2006, 3:31 PM

I went to Malaga v Real Madrid 4 years ago and bought tickets on the night face value �100 each. it is normally �20 each but they charge �100 for Real Madrid and Barca. Saw them a couple of other times on holidays too and never a problem getting tickets. They are now in the 2nd division so just turn up and buy at the ticket office. If you are there early then it should be no problem or go to the ground 2-3 days before the game to be certain. no real chance of a sellout though.

Normally tickets in Spain only go on sale 3-7 days before a game and unless you want to go to Barca v Real Madrid or the Madrid derby or the Seville derby you will normally get a ticket no problem. Even for real o0r Barca games go to the stadium a day or 2 before the game and buy ove rthe counter.

Please don't use any of the tout sites that deliver to your hotel. they just go to the stadium on your behalf 2-3 days before the game and buy ove rthe counter.

I went to the Barca - Osasuna game a few weeks back in Nou Camp and got tickets on the day of the match at the ground. We got the €90 tickets (cheapest were €50) and were sitting 3 rows from the front , amazing view.

Turns out I'll be in Barcelona the weekend they play Espanyol away. If tickets are as easy to get as Dodge says they are, I'll be at it!:).

Was in Barcelona in last March for the Barca - Deportivo game. Bought tickets from an 'agency.' Actually they weren't that bad for peace of mind etc., (�55 for a decent ticket). I could have saved money on the night, however if I waited (25 euros). I reckon with the exception of Real Madrid you can get tickets on the night at the Nou Camp. Barcelona seem to have a system in place to take sell on unwanted tickets.

Heading to Barcelona this weekend so hoping to catch the Villareal game, hopefully Riquelme will be playing. Not often you can see Messi Ronaldinhio and Riquelme play if you are Irish. Just realised Messi is injured.

Just had the pleasure of seeing one of the best goals in recent years. A pure pleasure to see Barca on form. Passing around like it was a 5 a side game. Villareal have really gone down hill over the last few months.

It was a fantastic goal alright- worth the entrence fee alone.

Dodge or anyone that knows, do you think it is better to try and buy the Espanyol tickets before I head to Barca or when I get there? :confused:

If you can get them from official sources in advance I would certainly do so. Try:

Failing that, you will almost certainly get better value from a scalper on the day of the game than online.

I'd get them there on the day personally from the ticket office at the ground

That goal is on Youtube. Fantastic stuff. Must've been great to see it in person.

Never returned here to gloat about seeing that Ronaldinho goal in person.
The La Liga match experience is great.
The flight arrived same time as kick off so i missed the first 30 mins and first goal but was great to see them in full flight as neil McD will testify.
Chelsea and Barca still the best two teams in Europe.

Hi,

Hoping to go to Barca-Valencia on Sunday. Do ye reckon if I just rock up a couple of hours before kick-off I'll be able to buy tickets from office at Camp Nou then?

Thanks

Yes, I'd say you could. Check with a tourist info office if you pass one - they sell them too, I think, though I haven't used that option myself.

Absolutely. I did it for this game a coupleof years ago (when both teams were doing well)

Cant you also get tickets in the local ATM's, Banco Caixa I think.

Not all ATMs, just specific ticket/cash machines of La Caixa (They sell tickets to concerts etc there too). I'm not sure if non members can buy them there either. They're stand alone (usually in the bank) and far larger than standard ATMs.

Dunno if I posted this before but the ticket "agencies" in central Barcelona are unnofficial and you probably won't pay face value.

For prices and info check here http://www.fcbarcelona.cat/web/engli.../entrades.html
