Wear home colours

Who takes you to the match: Nicolas
Nicolas loves sport and is a born organiser. He knows people across Argentine football, and he brings visitors to matches safely. If something goes wrong, he fixes it. His member cards come from safe, trusted contacts. No scams.
I’m Glenn. I have lived in Buenos Aires since 2018 and wrote the guide to Boca Juniors tickets that more than 100,000 travellers found on Google. I don’t take guests to matches myself. Too many visitors lose their money on fake tickets outside the stadium, so I recommend Nicolas: I know how he works, and I trust him. I help you choose the match and book your seats. On matchday, Nicolas takes over.

4.9 out of 5Football in Buenos Aires: frequently asked questions
Can tourists buy tickets for Boca Juniors or River Plate?
Not directly. Argentine clubs only let in fans with a member card (a socio card), and there is no public sale for tourists. Locals wait more than 6 years for a membership. Members who can’t go to a match lend their card. That is how almost every visitor gets in. Never try to do this on the street: there are many fake cards. With Nicolas you get a member card from a trusted contact at the meeting point, and a guide takes you in.
How much does a football ticket in Buenos Aires cost?
Most matches start at around US$150 per person. River Plate starts at US$195, Boca Juniors at La Bombonera at US$250, and the Superclásico (Boca vs River) at US$795. The price depends on the match and the section. Live prices are shown with each match above.
Is it safe to go to a football match in Buenos Aires?
Yes, if you go with a local guide. Without one, I don’t recommend it: you can easily get lost, and you won’t have the contacts to get into the stadium. This is especially true at Boca Juniors. Inside the stadium it’s safe. Nicolas never puts you among the hardcore fans. He chooses a section with great atmosphere where you can enjoy the match safely.
Which match should I choose: Boca Juniors or River Plate?
All four clubs give you a great matchday, because Argentine fans create the atmosphere everywhere. La Bombonera is the most intense, because of its steep stands and its fans. The Monumental is bigger and a good choice for families. The highlight of the year is always the Superclásico, Boca vs River.
How far in advance should I book?
Book 1 to 2 months ahead, and earlier for the Superclásico. Seats are limited because they depend on members who don’t use their card that day.
When is the football season in Argentina?
The season has two tournaments. The Torneo Apertura runs from January to June, and the Torneo Clausura from July to December. Each one ends with play-offs for the qualified teams, so those clubs play extra matches. The AFA sets final dates and kick-off times about 2 weeks before each match.
Can I get tickets for the Superclásico (Boca vs River)?
Yes, but there are very few. Members want to see this match themselves, so fewer cards are available for visitors. Book as early as you can. Superclásico tickets start at US$795 and are non-refundable.
Why shouldn’t I buy tickets outside the stadium?
Most tickets sold around the stadium are scams. You don’t know what a real ticket or member card looks like. You pay cash, then you can’t get in, and your money is gone.
What should I wear to a football match in Argentina?
Wear the home team’s colours, or neutral clothes with a few accents in those colours. Never wear the away team’s colours. At Boca Juniors, for example, never wear red.
Can I bring children?
Matches are recommended for ages 16 and up. Children from 12 can come in a seated section. Ask first, and Nicolas will find a safe spot for your family.
Standing or seated: what’s the difference?
The standing sections (popular) have the most energy: jumping, shouting and singing for the whole match. The seated sections (platea) are calmer, and you get an amazing view of the standing fans jumping.
Can visitors go to away matches?
No. In Argentina only home fans are allowed in the stadium, so you always watch a home match of the club you choose.
Can I visit La Bombonera on a day without a match?
Yes. Boca Juniors runs stadium tours on non-match days, and you buy them at the club shop at the stadium. It’s not the same as a live match, but it’s a good extra if you visit La Boca.
