Tickets

Hard, members first. Usually from £47. 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.

1. Go to realmadrid.com/en-US/tickets and use the filters to see which matches are currently on sale.
2. Create a free account when prompted, with your name, email and personal details.
3. Pick a match that shows a general sale; non-member tickets are often available for smaller league opponents.
4. Choose seats on the stadium map and pay by card; non-member prices start around EUR 100 and stands around EUR 410.
5. If your non-Spanish card fails at checkout, try another card or ask a friend in Europe to buy.
