If using ticketmaster (La Caixa) then the best and by far the easiest way of collecting tickets is to print them at a 'La Caixa' cash machine. Only certain ones offer this facility, but there is one just near Burger King on Las Ramblas that prints tickets.

Levante v Barcelona confirmed as 9pm Spanish time on Sunday the 21st of September.

Having attended a game at El Madrigal I would say that its a beautiful stadium in a nice town, but its a logistical nightmare. We had a car which made it easier, but it was still about a 45 minute - 1 hour drive from Valencia. The roads around the stadium were small and narrow and trying to...

If I was a betting man i'd put my money on this being a Sunday game as it's is off the back of a Champions League week. I dont think you can expect an official announcement for atleast a few weeks.

Going to the national game would be good and you should get tickets (I went to the Belarus game in Mallorca last year) but this game won't be played anywhere near Barcelona so would require quite an amount of travelling.

If Barcelona are at home on the weekend of the 13th of September then the game will most definately be on the Saturday because of Champions League the following midweek. Fixtures should be out at the end of this week, but you never know in Spain...

RE- 5th to 9th of Sept. Very wishful thinking because that is the International break weekend :(

"no rush to head back to your hotel." Never a truer word spoken about Barcelona. One of the best places for nightlife that i've ever been. Ended up in a really hardcore techno dance club the last time i was over. Sound horrific but it was brilliant!

Just worth noting that I read somewhere that Barca and Real could play some Monday night games this season. Doubt they'd get more than one or two each if this happens at all. Also, as of this coming season the Monday night game kick off time has changed from 10pm to 7.45pm (Spanish time). Won't...

Something which might help you save money is if you anticipate when the games might be. If it is a Champions League week (i'm sure it is) then Barca would play Saturday and then the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Use booking.com to find a cancellation free hotel and once you see one you are...

Alot of scare mongering goes on about the picket pockets. They are evident but as long as you are aware (which isnt always easy at 3am when pished) then you should be ok. I've been to Barcelona on several occasions and I dont think i've left a bar/club earlier than 3 or 4 am. On all occasions...

I read either on Marca or the LFP website that the fixtures will be out after the 24th of July as well. I'll try find a link. You just need to hope that they are at home on the weekend of the 13th of Sept. Can you extend you trip if need be? Flying home on Monday the 15th might mean possibly...

Nah it was a ticket office/stall on the middle pavement on Las Ramblas. Up the top end nearest Placa Catalunya. There seemed to be quite a few on Las Ramblas selling tickets at over 300-400 euros but this one had the 'official FCB ticket supplier' logo (not 100% convinced that makes it...

We managed to pick up tickets through an official Barca ticket supplier at a kiosk on Las Ramblas on the morning of the game. Managed to get 2 together for 93 euros each! Was a brilliant experience being at the game and a fantastic weekend in an amazing City!
