How to get tickets for an FC Barcelona game?

You can buy tickets for FC Barcelona in two ways – online or at the stadium ticket office. Be aware that the second option may not always be successful – particularly if you are looking for tickets to see a top team in action. However, if you’re happy to see teams such as Elche, tickets should be available right up to match day. The safest option to secure your seats is to buy a match ticket through the official FC Barcelona website. These usually go online a few weeks before the match, and you’ll receive a pdf ticket emailed directly to you. There are several seating options to choose from, including standard, VIP and VIP Premium tickets. VIP Premium offers the best view of the pitch, catering and access to the VIP lounge.

Remember that for La Liga matches, the system automatically selects your seat in the stadium according to your preferred ticket category. When buying single tickets, it is worth checking the promotions and packages tab on the FC Barcelona website, along with any offers highlighted in the club’s newsletter. It is also possible to buy season passes for FC Barcelona matches, although securing a ticket to the Catalan Duma games is never an easy task.

It is worth emphasising that members have an impact on club policy, receive discounts of up to 50% on tickets and can enter FC Barcelona’s museum for free. Socios members also have priority when purchasing tickets for the club’s most important matches, including the much-anticipated match against Real Madrid.

The club will also send members a welcome gift, leaving you free to count down the days until you join the ticket line.
