Local Rivalries – there is nothing in the world quite like the Clasico. When Real Madrid come to town, the animosity levels are cranked up a level or ten! On days like these, the Camp Nou is not just the only ticket in town, it’s the only one worth having on the planet! City neighbours Espanyol feature in the Derbi but with a strong Andalusian contingent in the city, games against Sevilla and Betis are also popular. Tiers – there are differences in prices between the various seating location you choose and it’s all about your personal preferences. Some fans wouldn’t go for less than the VIP tickets, and some would want specifically to be seated in the Long side central lower tier to see everything from up close. Others would feel great viewing the entire ground from the Long side upper tiers.
FC Barcelona Match Ticket Categories
There are 5 match categories, based on where they are sited in the stadium. Matches are also categorised using letters, A++ for the best fixtures, through to C for the run of the mill games.
Selecting the Right Seats – Camp Nou Stadium Plan Explained
1 – Which Seats to Choose?
The Camp Nou doesn’t operate ‘named’ stands honouring the exploits of club heroes. Instead, they settle for the main long stand – ‘Tribuna’ – with the ‘Lateral’ opposite.
The ‘tribuna’ houses the majority of the corporate and VIP seats, with the dressing rooms and the museum, as well as press seats and one of the most impressive chapels in world football. Taking in the stadium tour is a ‘must-do’ for any trip to the Camp Nou.
The short sides in the ground are imaginatively named ‘gol sur’ and ‘gol nord’.
We recommend searching for seats in this order, for the best view:
Grandstand (Tribuna) 2 (Central); Grandstand (Tribuna) 2; Grandstand (Tribuna) 1 (Central); Grandstand (Tribuna) 1; Lateral 2 (Central); Grandstand (Tribuna) 3 (Central); Lateral 1 (Central); Grandstand (Tribuna) 3; Lateral 2; Lateral 1; Lateral 3 (Central); Lateral 3; Goal 2; Goal 1; Goal 3; Lateral 4; Gol Baix, and General.
The Camp Nou is one of the largest club stadiums in the world. With a capacity of just under 100,000, seats are plentiful but you need to manage your expectations. The higher the face value of the seat, the better the view.
We’re not going to beat about the bush; General seating – also known as level 5 – is high up, so far that it comes with its own telescope because binoculars aren’t strong enough.
Upper Tiers
The Camp Nou offers a fantastic and unrivalled view of the action. The same architects who designed Wembley and the Emirates are working on the upgrade which will take the capacity to 105,000, as well as bringing fans closer to the pitch.
If you can avoid the upper tiers, do so. Even those on the long sides, categorised as “VIP seating”, are a long way from the pitch. The view in all areas of the ground, is unobstructed.
Should the upper tiers be the only seats available, the short sides – the ‘lateral’ – offer the best views.
Middle Tiers
These are best seats in the ground. In either of the short stands or the long stands, you will get the best view of the action.
Whichever of the upper or middle tiers you sit in, the crowd will be a mix of hardened season ticket holders – often families sitting together – with children welcomed anywhere, sitting alongside football tourists like yourself.
Lower Tiers
If you want atmosphere, the lower tiers are the place to be. This is where the fervent fans gather at either end of the stadium, generating the noise which serves as a backdrop to the action.
Barcelona’s hard-core fans gather in the lower tier of the ‘gol sud’ with away fans up in the gods of the same stand.
It comes at a price; the view isn’t brilliant. Even when everyone is sat down, you are one head movement away from missing the action. But like most other grounds around the world, you are up and down like a yo-yo, singing the club hymn or cheering on the team!
Disabled Fans
The Camp Nou has disabled sections in tier 1 of each ‘gol’ stand. Access to these is managed by the club and applications can be made via the official website.
How to Buy Barcelona Tickets Online?
Getting tickets on the primary market is possible but only if you’re a club member or you’ve missed the public sale for non-members (which often is sold-out in a matter of minutes or hours tops).
Your best chances are in the secondary market. You have a variety of available categories. Pairs of tickets are also available (WoW guarantee them for all tiers), but for more than a pair or groups – contact us – we have it available in several tiers but not in all categories and not always. However, you should be able to find seats in the same block, reasonably close together. For the big matches, such as those against West Ham City and Liverpool, you are struggling but also for games such as Arsenal and Chelsea.
And you never know your luck; other supporters can be accommodating and willing to swap seats with you – it’s a case of being lucky on the day. Spanish matches take place on Thursday through to Monday night. Kick-offs are scheduled throughout the weekend, although most of Barcelona’s fixtures take place in prime TV slots on Saturday and Sunday.
Midweek matches see a lot of tickets available.

Formed in 1899 by Joan Gamper (then known as Hans), Football Club Barcelona have come a long way from the humble beginnings of a newspaper advertisement for players. The iconic red and blue were worn for the first time in 1899 against Team Anglès during the club’s first match. During the Spanish Civil War, the club became a focal point for Catalan pride and one of the few places where the Catalan language could be spoken. Despite this background, the middle decades of the twentieth century saw Barca win six La Liga titles in fifteen seasons and five Copa Del Rey in the same period. Real Madrid’s European triumphs hung like a pall over Barcelona, which even the ‘minor’ UEFA trophies couldn’t relieve. Until 1992 and the ‘Dream Team’ triumph at Wembley; the first of five Champions Leagues in the club’s history. Europe’s bridesmaid became the bride. It was the start of Barcelona’s Golden Age. Since then, a host of the world’s best talent has graced the Blaugrana: Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Stoichkov, Kluivert, Eto’o, Deco through to Luis Suarez and Neymar Jr. Some even went on to manage the club: Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique, all under the watchful eye of Johan Cruyff as advisor, director and perhaps the club’s most vocal supporter (or critic depending on your viewpoint!) This is a club made to break records. Barcelona are dominant in Spanish football, winning ten of the past twenty La Liga’s, along with six Copa Del Rey. In 1952, El Barça de les Cinc Copes became the first Spanish club to win five trophies in the same season. In 2009, they went one better – the sextuple; qualifying for Europe every year since 1955 – the only club to do so – paid off handsomely.

Leading Goalscorer
Lionel Messi, 472 goals in 571 appearances (as of 22nd September 2016) Cristiano Ronaldo may beg to differ but Lionel Messi is the best player in the world right now and has been for a number of seasons. The impish and mercurial Argentinean has mesmerised defences across the world since making his debut on 16th October 2004 against Espanyol. He was described by Arsène Wenger as a PlayStation footballer, such is the close dribbling skill which Messi possesses. It is unlike any other player seen before. Since he broke into Barcelona’s first team, the records have tumbled. He is Barcelona’s leading scorer of all-time in: 1) La Liga (316), and, 2) European competitions (89) as well as being the holder of just about every other goalscoring record at the club except for most goals in a game (Joan Gamper, 9), most goals in the Copa Del Rey (Samitier) Fastest hat-trick (Pedro), most goals in the Cup Winners Cup (Krankl), UEFA Cup (Rexach) and Fairs Cup (Zaidua). That is the measure of his complete dominance of the Barcelona record books. All this from a man who cost the club some medical treatment when he was younger!
Greatest Moment
19th December 2009, Zayed Sports City, Abu Dhabi. There aren’t many clubs which can lay claim to a Club World Cup triumph being their greatest moment but for Barcelona it was. In beating Argentinean club Estudiantes 2 – 1, the Catalan giants became the first club to win all domestic, European and world tournaments which they entered. It was a phenomenal record. The sweetest of the six trophies won was the La Liga title, all but delivered in the 6 – 2 thrashing of Real Madrid. In the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Real never recovered and Barcelona were officially crowned champions when Villarreal beat Real 3 – 2 at El Madrigal. Three days before that, the trophies had begun to arrive with Athletic Bilbao swept aside 4 – 1 in the Copa Del Rey final in Valencia. And to think, they only just scraped past Benidorm in the Round of 32! Next was the Champions League and Barcelona were at their imperious best, swatting Manchester United aside at Wembley. It had been a long journey from the third qualifying round to lifting the trophy with some magnificent performances along the way. Five were scored against Lyon, Basel and Sporting Lisbon, Bayern Munich hit for four but it took Andres Iniesta’s strike four minutes into injury time to beat Chelsea on away goals at Stamford Bridge, for Barcelona to reach the final. The Spanish Supercopa arrived courtesy of the luckless Athletic Bilbao, a 5 – 1 aggregate scoreline underlining the gap between Barcelona and the rest of La Liga at the time. Shaktar Donetsk were obdurate in Monaco but the European Super Cup followed with a 1 – 0 win. Which left the FIFA Club World Cup. Mexican club Atlante were despatched 3 – 1 in the semi-final before Estudiantes were beaten in the final by Lionel Messi’s goal ten minutes before the end of extra time.
