Buying a ticket, step by step

When tickets go on sale: Not confirmed. Tickets for most league games should be on sale in the days before the match; check the club site and social media for each game.

Membership: None needed for a public ticket (members pay less). It gets you in before general sale, but you don't need it.

  1. Open academicodeviseu.pt and go to the Bilheteira page, where the club offers a 'Compre aqui o seu bilhete' link.
  2. Pick the home match you want and choose the public (não sócio) ticket type.
  3. Create an account with your name and email if asked, then pay by card.
  4. Save the ticket to your phone, or collect it at the Fontelo stadium ticket office, which opens before kick-off on match day.
  5. If the match is not listed online, buy at the stadium box office on the day.
