Foot ball in barcelona.

[Rickinferno]

im travelling to Barcelona over the weekend 11th-12th Nov. and myself and about 10 people want to see a match. None of the British agents can guarantee seating together, the best i can get is tickets in pairs. I ve been to the official site and can only get single seats. Has anyone ever just turned up at the ground on the day ? Iarrive on the thursday the 9th so have a couple of days before the match.
Its against Real Zaragoza so is a medium sized sort of game, if you see what i mean.
Thanks.

I doubt that you'll be able to buy tickets on the day. The FC Barcelona website states that there are only 412 tickets left for purchase by the general public for the Zaragoza match:

(In theory you can buy tickets online, but I couldn't get past the screen where members enter their details).

I don't think you'll find it is as hard as you may think. The website is tricky to navigate, but I have always found it easy to get to get tickets, even on the day. The best thing for you to do is to go to the stadium when you arrive, and buy tickets then. If you take the open top bus tour, that stops at the stadium, you'll get a discount voucher for match tickets as part of the bus ticket book of vouchers. A couple of days beforehand should be fine, though you may have to split up a bit. Even if the game is sold out, there will be plenty of english speaking touts who will spot you arriving at the stadium on match day, and offer you best prices, though expect to pay double face price.
