No not yet but there was a few available a few weeks back. A lad from another forum has purchased 6 for the game for his group going.

There will be tickets available closer to the game. I hope anyway. It looks like it's gonna be a title match.

Are you going over? Kerrybai you?

Flights and accommodation are gonna be cheaper than the match ticket.

Me and a friend are thinking about it. I asked the Dublin penya about it and they inquired about tickets and were told it's sold out. Those third party agencies have some but I don't want to be spending like 250 for a ticket.

Me neither, I dont mind spending some money but 100 is my max for a ticket. I still kind of regret choosing to watch Peps going away game in a bar (Espanyol 4-0, Messi 4x) rather than in the stadium to save some money.
This time I will definitely try to be there if the ticketprices are normal and tickets are available.

I'm still wondering if they will sell tickets for the last game of the season via the website. Still no answer.

They sell tickets on the website for all the games except El Classico. There is no tickets available so there is non for sale. You should know that.

Hey guys I'm sure tickets will be in high demand but for most games it's easy to get tickets. Here is some advice from a travel forum that may be of use to some of you.

Season ticket holders to FC Barcelona can only ever give their ticket back to the club, or maintain that ticket with the surname. So many older generation season ticket holders, simply hold on to their relatives' season tickets and sell on these seats on match day. Let me explain. Say my father and his 4 brothers were all season ticket holders, but of those 5 siblings, only 1 had children (me). I would renew those season tickets each year, due to their privileged location within the stands, and simply turn up 30 minutes before kick off each home game and sell on those tickets for face price, with the guarantee of having better view than the box office tickets and probably paying off my own season tickets from the profits by the end of the season. This is perfectly legal within the eyes of the club and the governing bodies of football, as long as money doesn't change hands. So those clever OAP's you see hanging around the metro station are the ones with the best tickets! The security guards at the turnstiles know the score, but as long as they haven't seen money changing hands, then its fine by them. This is the best way to get tickets for the match, as you are effectively escorted in by the seller (you will sit next to them), so no security risks with regards fake tickets. It does however, have its risks in that if anyone sees you pay for the ticket, then you run the risk of losing your money and the ticket.

Tickets for matches are released to the general public after the FC Barcelona Members can buy them. You pay an annual subscription to the club if you can't get a season ticket (based on my previous paragraph, you won't be surprised to hear that the waiting list for a season ticket extends back to the 1970`s) and then have first refusal for the tickets before the public. In this way, many "touts" will buy up their share of the ticket allocation, often meaning they take all of the second tier seats in the stadium or the second best seats, after the season ticket holders. They then have a mark up of around 5 Euros per ticket, which for the majority of tourists is a steal, considering the better seat you will be able to get for this first time experience.

My final tip is again, not one that is well publicised and although this means that you don't have the choice of the better seat allocation, it's an official way of going about getting a ticket. You may be surprised to hear that ATMs or cash machines of the bank "La Caixa" also sell FC Barcelona tickets. The Catalan bank sells concert tickets, opera entrances and theatre stalls, so it's no surprise to be able to find seats for the football, either. The reason why I left this tip for last is that due to the previous methods, the Cash point tickets are usually always the last to be sold, meaning you will have the cheapest seats (therefore be higher up in the stadium) which is not to put you off, as any seat in the stadium is well worth the price, but just so that you know you have various options. This option, for example, is great for larger groups who all want to stay together, as it means tickets can be bought in bulk – this way guaranteeing adjacent seating arrangements.
:goodpost: That's awesome Kerrybai. Thanks!

Wouldn't be his first O.G...
Of course it wouldn't be. My bad! :blush:

Galning, is the club aware of the BarcaForum website? If so, what kind relationship do you have with them? Cheers!

Not true. Sometimes they don't sell tickets even if there's left. There's been games where they just close the sale for a couple of weeks and then re-open it a few weeks before the actual game. This could be the case since there were tickets available last month and all of a sudden it's supposed to be sold out? No way.

No. We have no relationship with the club whatsoever.

I recently collected my Atleti ticket as I attended the Osasuna game, having booked it a few months ago.

However my mate still needs a ticket and am not convinced members tickets will be handed back for this game, as is usually the case.

Ticketmaster.es don't have any tickets available (as things stand) and places like viagogo want around £300 now.

Is anyone confident tickets will free up on FCB nearer the time ? Galning, what do you think ?

I don't think so. As long as we are in the title race it'll be extremely hard to get tickets. Nobody wants to miss this. You might strike lucky though when some seats do become available but that's still a long shot.

Yeah, I kind of thought as much... we'll keep checking FCB on the off chance we can snag one.

Failing that, he'll have a ringside seat in Eric's Bar in Sant Ramon Nonat :lol:.....

Thanks anyways.
