Why online Camp Nou tickets are better

You can buy Barcelona Camp Nou tickets online, or you can buy from the ticketing window at Gate No. 9 of the Stadium.

For the best Camp Nou tour experience, we recommend you buy the tickets online.

There are four distinct advantages of booking your Camp Nou Stadium tour online.

1. Avoid the queue

If you decide to buy tickets for the Barca Experience from the Stadium, you must stand in a queue at the Gate No. 9 ticketing counter.

Depending on the season and time of the day, you may have to wait anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours in the line.

You can avoid this waiting time if you buy your tickets online.

2. Ticket prices are discounted

Yes, you read that right – if you buy your Camp Nou tickets online, you get a discount on the ticket.

When you buy Barcelona Camp Nou tickets at the venue, you get charged 2.5 Euros extra for every ticket.

This ‘extra’ you end up paying is called the handling charge (also known as the window surcharge).

When you buy online, you don’t pay this surcharge and hence end up with a 2.5 Euros discount on every ticket.

Save money, buy Camp Nou Tour tickets online.

3. Avoid the wait for your time slot

Tickets issued at Camp Nou have a time mentioned on them.

And you can only start your Tour Camp Nou at the time specified on your ticket.

If you don’t purchase your tickets online, these timed tickets result in additional waiting time during crowded days.

Let us explain how:

Let’s say you reach Camp Nou Stadium at 2 pm.

You stand in the queue at the ticketing counter for a half-hour and get your tickets at 2.30 pm.

But because of the crowd, the next available time slot is 3.30 pm (this time gets printed on your tickets).

Now, you will have to wait for an hour before you can start the Camp Nou Experience tour.

When you book your ticket online, you can avoid this waiting by arriving at the Camp Nou entrance in time for your tour to start.

4. No need to do research on match days

Camp Nou tour gets affected when matches are scheduled at the stadium.

For Champions League matches

When a Champions League match is scheduled, the Camp Nou tour gets affected on two days – one day before the game (for preparation) and the day of the game.

On both days, you can visit the FC Barcelona Museum, the Trophy Room, and Messi’s Zone till 3 pm.

But this is only half the experience, so we don’t recommend visiting on match days.

For La Liga & Copa del Rey matches

The Camp Nou tours get canceled when La Liga and Copa del Rey matches get scheduled.

How booking online helps

When you buy Camp Nou tour tickets online, you can’t book on match days.

Thus, you don’t have to do your independent research on match days.

You also won’t land up at the stadium’s Gate No. 9 to buy tickets on a matchday only to be turned away.

Save yourself a lot of trouble, buy Camp Nou tickets online.

Camp Nou tours on Match days

On Matchdays, Camp Nou Experience tours get canceled.

That’s why match days aren’t the best time to visit Camp Nou.

However, depending on the type of match, certain parts of the Camp Nou Stadium tour are open to the public.

When is Camp Nou closed?

Camp Nou remains closed on Christmas and New Year.

Best time to visit Camp Nou

The best time to visit Camp Nou and start your Barcelona Stadium tour is before 11 am.

The queue is short, and you can spend as much time as you want to explore the exhibits at the FC Barcelona stadium and Museum.

If you can’t make it before 11 am, the next best time is by 4 pm.

But then, you only get two and a half hours to make the most of your Tour Camp Nou.

On all days of the week, the period just after lunch sees the longest queues.

If you want to avoid the crowd, it is best to book Camp Nou tour tickets online.

Visiting this attraction close to the match days isn’t advisable because the Barcelona Camp Nou tour gets canceled.

Camp Nou in winter

You won’t experience long lines at the ticketing counters and the other attractions on tour during winter.

However, during these months, the Camp Nou stadium feels a bit colder than usual.

The self-guided museum tour, which is indoor, doesn’t get affected in winter.

Best time for photographs

Inside the FC Barcelona Museum you can take close shots of trophies and other memorabilia all through the day.

However, if you want to take good photographs of the stadium, the best time to visit Camp Nou is before 5 pm.

Shadows start to elongate and darken up the photographs after 5 pm.

Hint: If you plan to get photographed on the pitch, don’t wear green. You don’t want to merge with the lush green Camp Nou grass.

How long does Camp Nou tour take?

The Camp Nou Tour, which includes both FC Barcelona Museum and the Stadium, takes two hours.

Serious Barcelona FC fans are known to spend even up to four hours on tour.

Most of this time goes in viewing the Barcelona FC’s trophies, the various other exhibits on display, learning the club’s history, and soaking in the stadium atmosphere.

There is no time limit on the Camp Nou tour ticket – once inside, you can stay and explore till it is closing time.

The Chapel is right next to the dressing room.

4. Players’ tunnel and the dugout at Camp Nou

This part of Tour Camp Nou is sure to give you goosebumps.

It is the same tunnel through which players such as Maradona, Johan Cruyff, Ronaldo, Romario, Ronaldhino, Xavi, and Messi walked to the pitch.

You will be standing on the spot graced by their stud-laden feet.

You can also sit on the dugout benches and do a fake warm-up as if you were going in next.

However, this part of the tour remains closed on match days, and you can only enjoy a panoramic view of the stadium.

5. FC Barcelona Museum

At the Museum, you can see all the 5 Champions Leagues, 3 FIFA Club World Cups, 24 La Liga titles, and 29 Spanish Cups.

Many interactive walls take you through the glorious history of the club.

6. Press Box at Camp Nou

As part of the tour, you can explore the elegant 29-cabin Barcelona press box, which stretches for about 35 meters above the ground.

The view from the press box is one of the best.

We have selected two of the most recent Camp Nou reviews for you –

Really interesting tour

As a football lover, I was always going to love this, but my wife who is not really into football also enjoyed it.

The Museum was fascinating. The Museum is not only about the team but the part they played in Catalonian history and the differences between Catalonia and Spain.

Being able to go pitch side, see the change rooms, media boxes and walk up the tunnel to the pitch was all part of the exciting experience. – H3005MGjohna

A must for any football fan!

I have been to Barcelona twice now and both times I have visited Camp Nou.

I honestly cannot describe how amazing the stadium is, I still enjoyed the tours and experiences even though I had already seen them. – Avigeektraveller

Camp Nou audio guide

The Camp Nou Experience tour is self-guided.

You will see enough directional arrows, information boards, bright yellow barriers, etc., to direct you all through the tour.

Restaurants in Camp Nou

If you prefer you can break your Camp Nou tour for some good Spanish food at ‘Tapas 24’, or the popular Spanish fast food joint ‘Pans and Company’ or ‘Ice Rink’.

All these restaurants serve local fare.

You can’t be a soccer fan and not have a beer at Camp Nou.

That’s precisely why ‘Estrella Damm Hall’ dishes out beer and snacks for the tourists who walk in.

Souvenirs at FCBotiga

FCBotiga stores are the official merchandise store for Barcelona FC.

The largest of the FCBotiga stores is at Camp Nou.
