🎯 A Marketer's Take on This Venue

Seating Guide

The Metropolitano is made up of Fondo Norte, Fondo Sur (the “Grada de Animación,” main singing end), Lateral Este, and Lateral Oeste, with away fans seated in the upper Fondo Norte.

Tickets

The safest way to buy tickets is directly through the club’s official website. Popular matches are often prioritized for season-ticket (abono) holders before general sale, so check availability as soon as your travel dates are set.

This site is mainly in Spanish — here's how to get through it

  1. On the ticket site, click your desired match date.
  2. Choose a seating zone — pricing for each zone is shown directly on the site.
  3. Sign up or log in, then pick your seat and complete the payment.
  4. Some clubs check ID against the buyer's name at entry, so bring your passport along with the ticket.

💡 Insider Tips

🚌 Getting Around

The Line 7 metro station “Estadio Metropolitano” sits right next to the stadium (1-minute walk). Alternatives are Line 2’s Las Rosas or Line 5’s Canillejas station (about a 15-minute walk each), and buses 28, 38, 48, 140, and E2 also stop nearby.

🏨 Lodging

The stadium is about 11km northeast of central Madrid, so genuinely walkable hotels are scarce. The metro is essentially a must, with options like easyHotel Madrid Alcalá being realistic choices.

🎟️ Tickets — recent changes

With 155,000 socios competing for 70,000 seats, derbies and European nights are intense, though games against mid-table La Liga sides are generally easier to get into. Starting 2025/26, tickets went fully digital (Apple/Google Wallet or QR), and you’ll need a passport matching the name on the booking.

🗺️ Tourism Tie-in

The Madrid City Card bundles stadium tours for both Santiago Bernabéu and Civitas Metropolitano, alongside a transit pass, city tour bus, Teleférico cable car, and Bicimad bike access.

🎁 Club Perks

The overseas-only “Atleti Red & White” card (€20/year) includes a €20 online store discount voucher, 48-hour ticket priority, and a welcome pack. The stadium tour audio guide supports English, Spanish, French, and Italian.

💡 Insider Tips

Matchday parking is reserved for pre-bookers, making it impractical for general visitors. Bag rules only allow small bags no larger than A4 (30×21cm).
