    Looks like I'll be in Barcelona for the first leg of their champions league semi-finals and am desperate to get tickets. Does anyone know how/where I could get tickets in advance? Don't really want to chance getting tickets outside the stadium on the day.

    You'll get them on the day in Barca but expect to pay. I was over in Jan and it was €15 to see them play Elche in the Copa Del Ray during the week. They were also playing A.Madrid on the Sunday and the cheapest ticket was €120.

    They have stalls selling tickets in La Rambla

    Cheers, main reason I was hoping to get them in advance was to control what I'm paying for them and that I'd need to change my flight to an earlier one. I'd probably pay the €120 but not much more than that.

    You obviously don't buy tickets for big games much, cos 120 euro to watch barca v bayern in a CL semi is cheap.

    For a game in the UK or Ireland it is but I've no idea what ticket prices in Barcelona are like. I was purely basing that on what the previous poster had said about the Atletico game.

    I got tickets to the same semi final a good few years back the day of the game, you need your passport on you though to get tickets. This is going back a few years so thins could have changed since then.

    There was plenty of tickets for the game vs PSG available on the their official website. A friend was contemplating going over. Id imagine the demand for tickets will be higher for this game alright but you should keep an eye on it anyway. Id say you should be able to get tickets for €120 from somewhere if you look hard enough!

    Cheers for the replies, all hope is not lost yet. I can probably afford to go to around €150 for the tickets, I also have to factor in the cost of changing flights to my own budget. Haven't seen them up on the Barcelona website as of yet but I'll keep an eye on it.

    I've just checked and you're correct. It was down on the UEFA website as being on the 5th earlier today; turns out I won't have to change flights afterall :D

    there was 270,000 applications for the Bayern Home semi final, and that before it was known that the opponent was Barcelona! Thats way off the scale, but is indicative of the demand for a semi compared to previous rounds.

    So, presuming theres similar interest in Barcelona, you wont be the only person looking for a ticket and I'd expect prices to be steep.

    Everywhere I looked today had different dates. Even the barca website had a different date on the list view than when you clicked into it.

    The champions league website has updated since this morning. It has switched the dates for both games and added kick-off times. My budget for tickets is definitely more flexible if it's on the 6th and I don't have to switch flights. Obviously they're going to be in demand and not cheap but I'm willing to do the legwork to get them.
