Alright, so I have a close friend of mine who lives abroad (In England), decided to watch an FC Barcelona match live in the stadium…
He went ahead and bought what he thought was a last-minute FC Barcelona ticket online before flying to Barcelona.
The confirmation email looked legit, but when he reached Camp Nou, his ticket wouldn’t scan.
It was invalid. He had been scammed…It was a painful experience, all that excitement just pff. VANISHED.
I felt bad for him at that time…that was in 2018.
To save you from the same mistake, I made a complete guide on how to safely buy Barca tickets, where to get them, and what to avoid.
THE SAFEST WAYS TO BUY FC BARCELONA TICKETS
OFFICIAL FC BARCELONA WEBSITE
The official website, fcbarcelona.com, is the most reliable source.
- Tickets usually go on sale 4–6 weeks before a match.
- Best prices (no middleman fees).
- E-tickets are sent directly to your email.
STEPS TO BUY ON BARCA’S OFFICIAL WEBSITE:
- Visit fcbarcelona.com.
- Navigate to Tickets.

💡 Show the QR code on your phone at the stadium entrance. No need to print.
AUTHORIZED TICKET RESELLERS
If tickets are sold out, these trusted resellers are your best bet:
- SeatPick: Compares prices across multiple resellers.
- Viagogo: Wide selection, especially for last-minute tickets (but fees can be high).
- Barcelona.com: Official partner, safe and straightforward.
TIPS WHEN USING RESELLERS
- Always check if tickets are transferable or ID-linked.

Aight, just be cautious and do your best to get the ticket from the official Barca website.
COMPARISON TABLE: WHERE TO BUY TICKETS
| Source | Pros ✅ | Cons ❌ |
| Official Website | Cheapest, guaranteed authentic | Sells out quickly |
| SeatPick | Compares prices across platforms | Service fees apply |
| Viagogo | Great for last-minute availability | High fees, markups |
| Barcelona.com | Official partner, secure | Limited ticket supply |
MATCHDAY TICKETS AT THE CAMP NOU OFFICES
Do you know that you can buy tickets at the stadium box office? Yep…But I don’t recommend this method simply cuz tickets are not always available.
Especially for big games like El Clásico and Champions League nights, this is too risky, my culer.
IF YOU TRY THIS OPTION:
- Arrive early.
- Bring a valid ID and a credit/debit card.
- Expect limited seats with limited vision.

MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS (SOCIOS)
Becoming a Barcelona member (socio) has a lot of advantages…This is what comes with it:
- Priority access to tickets.
- Discounts on certain matches.
- Access to exclusive content/events.
If you plan to attend multiple games per season, membership may be worth it.
PREMIUM VIP TICKETS
If you’re loaded with cash 😁 and want a VIP experience, then go for a hospitality package.
This includes:
- Premium seats.
- Access to lounges.
- Free food & drinks.
- Sometimes, guided tours of the stadium.
💡 Note from me:
I am not 100% sure, but I think premium VIP tickets are available via FC Barcelona’s official site only.
