Tickets

Usually available. Usually from £17. Per match; the 8 Nov 2026 Groningen game was already on sale on 25 Oct 2026, and the Twente game that day had only resale tickets left.

1. Open az.nl/wedstrijden/tickets and find the match in the 'Programma' list.
2. Check the label: 'Koop nu je tickets' or 'Nu beschikbaar' means open sale, 'Alleen resale nog beschikbaar' means only resale, 'Helaas, uitverkocht' means sold out.
3. Open 'Meer info' and read 'Losse verkoop'; for the league games checked it says free sale and no AZ Clubkaart or season ticket is needed (a few matches, such as cup finals, ask for a verified account).
4. Press 'Tickets bestellen', which opens ticketshop.az.nl, and create or log in to a free AZ account (the Clubkaart itself is free and arrives by email if a match asks for it).
5. Choose seats and pay online; you can also buy at the AZ Fancentrum in the stadium.
