Hi community!
Tickets for the match between FC Barcelona and Athletic Club are expected to sell out.
The match between Barça and Athletic Club will be a homecoming for all Barça fans, as after more than two years away at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc, the Blaugrana will once again play a match at the Camp Nou.
Despite the controversy surrounding the high ticket prices, a full house is expected for this clash, which could even see Hansi Flick's team return to the top of the LaLiga table, albeit temporarily.
For the return of all Barça fans to their home ground, the club, presided over by Joan Laporta, will allocate 16,000 seats for ticket sales. The remaining 45,401 seats, up to the total capacity of 45,401 available under Phase 1B, are distributed as follows: 24,800 are reserved for season ticket holders, and the rest are for commitments or tickets sold through other intermediaries.
So far, a staggered sales system has been in place, and with less than a day to go before the match between the Catalan and Basque teams, only about 1,000 tickets remain available. Most of these have already been made available to fans who wish to purchase them. The Barcelona website shows the following sections available: 'Upper Corner 2', 'Upper Goal 2', 'Goal 1', 'Lateral 1', 'Lower Lateral 2', 'Lower Tribune 2' and 'Tribuna 1', with prices between €199 and €449 and a 20% discount for members.
The club, based on the pace of ticket sales, assumes that a 'sold out' sign will be posted before the initial whistle, so the first match at the Spotify Camp Nou is expected to be a historic sell-out.
Although these first matches at the Blaugrana stadium will have a capacity of 45,401 spectators, the Phase 1C license is expected to be received between the end of December and January 2026, which would increase the capacity to 62,000 spectators.
If the latest forecasts provided by the board are correct, it would not be until approximately a year from now that the stadium could have its full capacity, which will be 105,000 spectators, more than the 99,357 before the works.
See You soon!
