Barcelona tickets
Posted on 7/17/16 at 2:54 pm

I'm taking a Europe trip at the end of the summer. Going to be arriving in Barcelona the morning of Aug 20 around noon. Been eagerly awaiting the release of the La Liga schedule and it came out recently that they play their first match on Sunday Aug 21!
Ok now I want to get tickets...they aren't yet for sale on the official site although I have been reading that because it's not Real Madrid that it probably won't sell out and tickets will be available there. A little concerned because I don't know if the first game would make it more likely for demand to go up(they're playing Real Betis so I don't think the demand for the opponent will be there). Should I just wait or should I look at alternate sites like Viagogo? Right now cheap seats are like 80USD but I'd like something a little better and better seats are really pricey.
Also, I know the dates are subject to change...what are the odds it would be moved to a Saturday afternoon that would make it difficult to land, put my bag somewhere, and make it? I'm thinking because it's the first match that it should be pretty concrete but I have no experience.
And finally, any recommendations for a good place to sit that aren't absurdly expensive? I want to be in an area that has a good fan atmosphere...getting that experience is about as important as seeing Messi and Neymar live.
Thanks

I was about to make a Camp Nou thread. I'll be there as well on the tail end of my honeymoon. Thanks for making this.

Thanks for the rec. Have you been to Camp Nou?

you should be fine with time and date. Tickets aren't as expensive as you would think. Europeans don't pay much, i remember earlier this year bayern fans were protesting because champions league tickets cost roughly 90 euros.

God damnit I've just checked the fixtures and they are away when I'm there, and I've recently convinced the missus it's a good idea
Guess I'll just have to do the tour

Yes, they'll have plenty available for regular season, copa and champions league. The culture over there isn't to try and make a lot of money on the resale so you'll pay above face for a place like that but not much more like here. I got euro final tickets that were 595 euro face for 700 euro and that was months before. Not willing to wait when traveling unless it's electronic delivery which some places have but a lot don't. Not sure about Barcelona on that one.

So looks like the match got set for Saturday at 6:15pm. I land at 11:55am after a 7 hour flight. Shouldn't be an issue other than being tired right? I'd have to go through customs and take a taxi to our apartment(seems to be about 40 mins subway ride from Camp Nou).
Shouldn't be an issue right?

You get tickets yet?
Bought mine yesterday. The fiancée (soon to be wife) have two tix in section Lateral 1 Central 132. Almost directly at midfield
