For any socis, just a note to say tickets for the home game (only for members without season tickets) are going on sale in a few minutes (16:00 Barcelona time).
It all depends on your personal taste. One thing I would say though is to not sit at the back of the first (I think!) tier in the Tribuna - you're under a roof, and whilst your view of the pitch isn't resricted, your view of the rest of the stadium is, which completely changes the atmosphere...
eduardmanas - interesting posts. I should come and see you one of these days (I'm a soci living in London).
As of June 2015, there were about 142,000 socis (down from a peak of about 176,000 in 2011, around the time of the membership rule changes). With about 85,000 season ticket holders (my...
A couple more numbers whilst I wait for the details of this year's new season ticket allocations to be published and the waiting list update.
On 30 June 2015, there were 142,816 socis, and 8,806 on the season ticket waiting list (compared with 8,318 on 7 January 2015).
That's a bit harsh to blame the entire country due to the way a sporting league and cup are run ;) It's like saying the entire world is a joke because of FIFA...
But I agree, they should prevent this happening yet again. Either choose the stadium at the start of the season (it works for the...

I've bought many tickets (including for Clasicos) using my soci card, and have never once been asked for ID or to show my...
Barca were given 2900 tickets by Arsenal, of which 2033 were sold to socis (the club received over 4000 applications from socis for those 2033 tickets - I was one of the unlucky ones and lost out in the random draw, especially disappointing as I currently live in London!), 509 were sold to...
Don't believe that article. I can't find this season's prices, but last season (2014/15) the prices were between 133€ and 1097€ for a full season ticket (25% discount for league-only):

The game will more likely than not be played on Saturday 2nd - the CL quarter-finals are scheduled for Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th, and assuming both Barca and Madrid qualify (and don't get drawn together!), I would expect that one will play on the Tuesday and one on the Wednesday.
