Print tickets at home

www.fcbarcelona.cat

Club members and fans of FC Barcelona can now enjoy a new way to buy tickets on the official website which makes the whole process much simpler and easier to use. Supporters are now able to print the tickets in the comfort of their own home.

The Barça website (www.fcbarcelona.cat) will see the service start on Wednesday at 10am and will have several advantages for people wanting to go to games as they can navigate around the Camp Nou on a virtual tour to discover the seat that they want for each match.

Choosing the seat

By doing this, the fan can seek out and find the seat that they want and see what the view is like before they choose to buy. All seats can be chosen like this on an individual basis anywhere in the stadium.

Pay and print

Apart from the ease-of-use of the service, one of the main differences of the scheme is the ‘Print at home’ option that allowed users to print off their ticket in their house. FC Barcelona is the first club to use this service, which is similar to the one operated by airlines, for its supporters.

Bar codes

One the seat has been selected, fans must then pay with a credit card and that will then allow them to print the ticket for the match and it will be as valid as a ticket brought at the offices of the club. On the printed ticket will be the information about the location of the seat, a plan of the stadium with all the entrances and exits marked clearly, and a bar code that permits the supporters to enter the stadium on the day of the game.

If one prefers to save the document and print it at a later time then that is also possible by saving it as a PDF file.

League games

This new service will be available for the home game against Getafe and will be for all league matches throughout the season.

Soon, the service will be extended to make tickets for the Palau Blaugrana available in the same way.
