Buying a ticket, step by step
When tickets go on sale: Members first, then Madridista card holders; general sale for weaker fixtures opens a few days to 2 weeks before, and sometimes not at all for big games.
Membership: Socio / Madridista (priority access). It gets you in before general sale, but you don't need it.
- Go to realmadrid.com/en-US/tickets and use the filters to see which matches are currently on sale.
- Create a free account when prompted, with your name, email and personal details.
- Pick a match that shows a general sale; non-member tickets are often available for smaller league opponents.
- Choose seats on the stadium map and pay by card; non-member prices start around EUR 100 and stands around EUR 410.
- If your non-Spanish card fails at checkout, try another card or ask a friend in Europe to buy.
- If nothing is on sale, check again closer to the game or book an official hospitality package.
Tips
- Prices are often 15-20% lower about a month before most fixtures, per Football Ground Guide.
- Buy only from the club site: resold tickets bought elsewhere are at your own risk.
