Buying a ticket, step by step
When tickets go on sale: Members buy from 20 Oct in age-of-membership batches (11:00 onwards), the general public (Adepto) from 21 Oct at 11:00. Max 4 tickets per sale.
Membership: Socio (members buy first, Adepto tickets for the public). It gets you in before general sale, but you don't need it.
- Open the Sporting ticket portal at tickets.sporting.pt.
- Create a free account and log in.
- Choose the home match and a sector; socio prices are lower than public prices.
- Pay by card or MB Way; the ticket arrives electronically.
- Alternatively buy at the ticket booth at Estadio Jose Alvalade, where queues can be long for popular games.
Tips
- Big games (Benfica, Porto) sell to socios first and often sell out.
- Resale sites carry fake-ticket risk.
