Calling all football fans!! Barcelona vs Real Madrid Tickets

As a lifelong infatuated FC Barcelona Supporter (and season ticket holder to the Nou Camp since the day I was born) I know that Barcelona vs Real Crappy Madrid tickets are like gold dust.

You're looking at £500+ for a scalped ticket outside the ground and then some. Some folks are known to have paid anywhere up to £2500+ for a ticket to this special game.

So believe me when I say this is a great deal i've found and if you've ever contemplated going, i'd advise booking through this offer Ryanair have here:

http://www.activitybreakseurope.com/product/?product=12521&pqdp=1977748

€704 might sound a lot, but for just under £500 per person you get a match ticket each, that's GUARANTEED (and the match WILL sell out), 2 nights in a top quality hotel with breakfast AND a Nou Camp stadium tour.

Flights are NOT included, but come on, the game is in March 2007 and if you book early enough you'll get the flights for next to nothing anyway.

This is seriously a great deal and I don't know when it will be finishing so if anyone wants to go, get in quick! :)

They also do similar packages for other FC Barcelona matches at far cheaper prices, but the Real Crappy Scummy Poohead Madrid games are the special ones, hence the enormous price jump.

Well worth it I say. :beer:

Shame Luis TRAITOR Figo doesn't still play for those saps. Maybe you'd have been lucky enough to witness him getting a Vespa, a dead pig and two mobile phones thrown at him like last time. Oh well! :)

    Hi delorean,
    can i just ask a really girly question? how do you know which side you will be sitting on, Barcelona or Real Madrid side. My little boy loves Barcelona and would be gutted if he had to sit with the Real Madrid fans

    Not sure you'll find many Madrid fans there as they don't take alot of away fans in Spain(all teams that is) though i could be wrong:confused:

    Isn't it the Camp Nou to Barca fans anyway?:p

    I must say, that this is very good price as I know that tickets for the game would cost that minimum for the whole trip!
  • Ebay is the best place i think Sharon.

    And as stated above very few fans travel in spain ....... but i would find out where you will be sitting before parting with your cash.

    Over 90% of the Nou Camp are season tickets so you may be sitting in the gods.

    Well In Feb 05 and Feb 06 ive been to the camp nou to watch firstly the tsunami appeal game then this year Barcelona v Athletico Madrid ...I managed to do The trip very cheaply by booking proir to xmas for the flights both times Ryanair to reus...(this time it was £10 return inc taxes)I had my match tickets delivered to hotel recpetion and where waiting for me on my arrival (about £40 each which included a Barca scarf for each Ticket)...As for the tour its a must as you get to see the changing rooms and pressbox presidents suit etc adn only worked out about £6...If your not into football that much or have a younger child then I wouldnt bother with the museum tour as it can be a tad dull for a non football nut ...As for where you sit you will be in the gods I can assure of that unless you pay real top money as most of the ground is for season tickets.As for away fans they are placed at the very top of the stand to the right of where the players come out of the tunnel although for the athletico game there were no more than 300 I would guess as previously mentioned Spanish fans generally don't travel to away games.As for a kit then ebay have 100's selling kits on there from the far east (all fakes of course but for a child the price is right)If you require the ticket agents I used just ask and I will endevour to find them for you...If this turns out to be his first visit to a football match It really would take some beating..

    I hope this is of some use to you

    Just a word of note Shannon. There are a huge amount of fake shirts on ebay. A lot of them coming from the far east. But there are also many genuine shirts on ebay to. You must be careful when buying that the seller guarantees that the shirts are "official and genuine" shirts made by Nike.

    LOL well spotted. Well, technically it's either but the more 'correct' version is Camp Nou yes. :)

    Kitbag.com do it, they are official distributors in the UK (https://www.fcbarcelona.com uses Kitbag for UK dispatches).

    I get mine from the FC Barcelona official store at the stadium, my father buys them each season and mails them over so I always get mine from the true source. :D

    I'd avoid the fakes on eBay etc etc they really are inferior to the real thing, especially when the Centenary shirt was available, I saw so many fakes of varying descriptions it was untrue. Many of them looked absolutely appauling and probably fell to bits within weeks.

    If anyone wants to buy Real Madrid shirts off eBay please go right ahead. ;)

    As for where you will sit in the stadium, it's marked on the stadium diagram on the website. As mentioned before though, the seats won't be the greatest, but to be honest the atmosphere of being there for the game and at least getting some sort of view will far outweigh where you are placed.

    It's truly a game unlike any other, well worth it. :)
