How can I get El Clasico tickets?
To get tickets for El Clasico contact the ticket office of Barcelona or Real Madrid directly to make an enquiry. You can also log onto either club’s official online ticket portals on their websites.
Generally speaking, the best and safest way to purchase tickets for El Clasico is through these official channels.
As with anything, it usually helps if you know someone who is better placed than you to procure tickets, such as a paid-up club member, for example.
Club members are granted special privileges when it comes to tickets, such as early access, discounts and sometimes exclusive access.
Sometimes it is possible to get tickets at the stadium, but this is a risky approach and not advised, particularly for El Clasico, for which tickets are in high demand.
Other options worth exploring are ticket exchange services such as viagogo, Ticket Compare and StubHub. However, it is possible that prices may be somewhat higher.
Anyone who hopes to go to a Clasico should be wary of ticket touts selling tickets outside the stadium, because they may be unscrupulous with prices and you may not be granted access to the stadium.
