If scalping/touting is as bad in Spain as it is in England I wouldn't recommend it.

I also recommend going to the match if it's at all affordable for you. Laugh at all the barca fans when their desperate team goes full flop fest and still gets worked by Juve. That would be a priceless experience.

Spent some time there. Went to a CL game but tix were passed on to me. Only advice I can give is be prepared for mayhem when you leave. Trains are sardine packed.

How much? Get a good deal?


Pretty much paid 110Euro for each in upper deck but on lower side

Similar to tiger stadium. The first row in upper deck is like the best of the worst

Good view from South side.

Will post pics later when I get out of here

$350 is cheap to see two of the best teams in the world play in the UCL. Unless you will have a lot of future opportunities to see this caliber of match, then I would make it work financially if possible.

It would take $800+ tickets in the rafters for me to not go to the game. As another poster said, you can also watch at a bar which would be amazing in its own right.

Ticket touts love people like you

It's also why you see Asian and Middle Eastern tourists sitting in the front 5 rows of premier league games and Barca/Real Madrid.

No shite. The same way that someone would pay big time money to see a night LSU game and I grew up right around the corner from the stadium. It is different when you have one shot to see a game rather than opportunities every year.

Difference is selling for more than fv is illegal and Europe and it's actually enforced.

I've bought from someone on the street in England to see Chelsea play. Touting is still pretty common from the matches I have been to in Europe.

I know it is

But it's super shady and clubs will deny real tickets bought from a tout.

The membership or season ticket system is very helpful in tracking such information.

When they see a certain ticket always on a secondary market site for three times face value they flag it and can deny it or revoke that season ticket.

Problem is touts still have connections with the ticket office. That's why away ticket for some clubs are so much if you don't get them in the lottery.

That makes sense. There would be riots if the NFL or NCAA started doing that.
