FC Barcelona is one of the best known football teams in the world thanks to its stunning displays of top class soccer action and with players such as Lionel Messi, demand for Barcelona football tickets at the Nou Camp is always high.

Barça’s stadium was constructed in 1957 and holds nearly 99,000 spectators making it the largest stadium in Europe and tenth in the world. While the stadium can seem empty when playing some less well known clubs, when it is full the roar of the crowd really charges the stadium with an atmosphere so electric it almost crackles.

Barcelona’s ticketing policy allows season ticket holders to sell their tickets back to the club for resale, but it means that it is often difficult to obtain tickets seated next to each other direct from the club. However, a variety of agencies have guaranteed allocations from the club that are provided in continuous blocks.

The Nou Camp is actually called “Camp Nou”, which means New Field in Catalan. Built between 1954 and 1957, the first match was played against a Warsaw selection in September 1957 which FC Barcelona won 4-2. Current remodelling plans include 13,500 more seats to make the Nou Camp the largest football stadium in the world, adding cover for at least 50 percent of seats improving its external appearance.

It also has a popular museum, which opened in 1984, and is claimed to be the most popular in Barcelona with 1.2 million visitors each year.
