Barcelona fans are buzzing with excitement as the ticket request window opens for the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League match against Benfica. This crucial Round of 16 first leg will be held at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon on Wednesday, 5 March, promising an electrifying showdown between two football giants.
FC Barcelona club members have a golden opportunity to snag their spot in the stands, with the application window open until 10am CET on 25 February. But hold on tight - if the number of requests surpasses the available seats, not everyone will be able to secure a ticket. Instead, a random draw will be conducted on the same day the window closes, 25 February, to allocate these coveted spots.
What does this mean for fans? Well, those who are lucky enough to be selected in the draw will receive crucial information regarding ticket collection. It's important to remember that these tickets are personal and non-transferable, adding an extra layer of security and exclusivity. Fans will need to provide a valid ID when picking up their tickets in Lisbon. Members will be notified with all the details, including how and where to collect their tickets, through email as the match date approaches.
So, for those passionate about supporting the Catalan giants on enemy turf, it's time to mark the calendar, submit those applications, and cross those fingers. Let the countdown to an unforgettable Champions League night begin!
