Securing Your El Clásico Ticket: Our Approach

As an official reseller of FC Barcelona tickets for over 25 years, with License No. 2024/25 FCB00FM, we pride ourselves on our expertise and reliability. We offer a Ticket Package service, which goes beyond just the match ticket. Our packages are designed to enhance your experience and may include:

• Event Tickets
• A Souvenir
• A City Guide Book or Map
• Home Delivery Service

To guarantee the availability of these packages, especially for high-demand matches like El Clásico, we sometimes need to purchase them at a price higher than their face value. This means our ticket prices may reflect this, offering a comprehensive service rather than just a standalone ticket. We are committed to providing impeccable customer service and ensuring your tickets are delivered securely.

Ticket Pricing and Seating Explained

Our ticket pricing is structured according to different seating zones within the Spotify Camp Nou:

• Gol Zone: This typically refers to the areas behind the goals in the first and second tiers. These are often designated as red areas on stadium maps, offering a direct view of the attacking action.
• Lateral Zone: Located on the sides of the pitch, often in the third tier. These areas, sometimes indicated by flat lilac entrances on maps, provide a more peripheral, yet complete, view of the entire pitch.
• Corner Zone: Encompassing the areas around the corners of the pitch, including the first and second tiers, as well as the third-tier grandstand. These are commonly represented by blue areas on stadium maps.

We strive to ensure that tickets are sold in pairs, meaning seats will be together. While side-by-side is the priority, other logical arrangements like diagonally adjacent or seats with one intervening fan may be offered depending on availability. Our goal is to provide the most cohesive seating experience possible.

Important Information Regarding Match Schedules

Football match schedules, particularly for major leagues like La Liga, are subject to change. Dates and kick-off times can be adjusted up to 10 days before the event. This is a standard practice in football, often due to television broadcasting rights, European competition scheduling, or other logistical reasons. We strongly advise all attendees to periodically check the official match schedule for the most up-to-date information and to make personal travel arrangements accordingly. Matches originally scheduled for Sundays might be moved to the preceding Saturday, or vice versa, within the same weekend. To mitigate potential disruption, we recommend planning your visit to Barcelona to include at least Saturday morning and Monday morning, providing flexibility for any schedule shifts.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. For reasons of utmost importance, we offer refunds on ticket purchases. However, if you are unable to attend a game, you must inform us at least 20 days prior to the match. A 15% cancellation fee will apply in such cases, in accordance with our terms and conditions. Please note that rescheduled matches are not eligible for refunds; tickets purchased will remain valid for the new date and time.
