Every home match has some single tickets, but selected matches need a ClubCard and the club says its ClubCards are sold out.

Buying a ticket, step by step

When tickets go on sale: Single-ticket sale for a home league game starts about 6 weeks before the match.

Membership: FC Twente ClubCard (needed only for selected matches; the club says they are sold out). It gets you in before general sale, but you don't need it.

  1. Open fctwente.nl and go to Wedstrijden, then Kaartverkoop, then 'Losse kaarten'; press 'Ga naar de kaartverkoop' to reach kaartverkoop.fctwente.nl.
  2. Check which matches are on sale; sales start about 6 weeks before kick-off.
  3. Read the note on the match: for 'bepaalde wedstrijden' you can only buy with an FC Twente ClubCard, and the club page says the ClubCards are sold out, so those games are closed to newcomers.
  4. For other matches, create a free account on the ticket shop, pick the match and your seats on the plan.
  5. Pay online (iDEAL or card); the e-ticket arrives by email and can be printed.
  6. Email ticketing@fctwente.nl or call +31 53 852 5777 if a match seems closed.
