cider-manc Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 I havent been in nearly a decade but.... Barcelona used to have a system where season ticket holders could return games that they couldn't attend. It meant that closer to the game more tickets would be available on their official site. There also used to be multiple ticket selling booths on Las ramblas. If you want lower tier with a decent view you are probably looking in excess of 100 euros. If you get the chance try espanyol as well. Its a bit more if a pain to get to but the games tend to be more evenly matched and the atmosphere (despite being a fraction of the attendance) is so much better. Its also considerably cheaper. Think I paid 20 euros for it, but again this was a decade ago.... I saw barcelona beat real sociedad 4-1 (messi missed an open goal that night!) And saw espanyol beat Athletic Bilbao 3-2 in the space of 24hrs. Didn't see any trouble at either of them. Even with plenty of sociedad shirts in amongst the home fans.

We actually have a fair bit in common with Espanyol & their supporters. Both going about their business, striving to be successful, in decent, modern stadiums - but somewhat shadowed by their city neighbours, who have a far greater global appeal & are many other supporters "2nd team"* * descriptions within this post may not be factually accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balderino Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 Went a couple of years ago. The nearest underground stations after the game were rammed with long queues. We ended up walking across to another station/line to get back into Central Barcelona, so best to look at Google Maps and have a route planned if you do that.

bcfcredandwhite Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 I did the stadium tour back a few years ago (when Thierry Henry played for them). Never attended a game though. A very impressive structure. They dug the pitch out to be below ground level. This was to keep the outside structure to a minimum height because Franco taxed structures that were above a certain height. Quite a simple but ingenious dodge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to a game abroad before so any help to make the experience more enjoyable/easier would be great, thanks in advance. Take a tour of the trophy Room weve got one in there blue whit youth tournament . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my first visit to Barcelona I lost my match ticket like that! Normally I was quite careful with my wallet, but on a very quiet Sunday morning I put it in my back pocket. Fatal. Arrived at Parc Guell without my wallet, cash, cards and ticket. I don’t remember any close contact with anyone on the metro, as it was almost deserted. I had no way of getting a new ticket so ended up watching the match on TV in a bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
