More than two years after its closure for works, the Camp Nou reopens its doors. Completely renovated, the FC Barcelona enclosure will finally welcome new spectators, and no later than next Saturday during the match of the thirteenth day of La Liga against Athletic Bilbao. But places are expensive. Very expensive, even. Enough to force the president of the club to react this Tuesday.
The day after 16,000 tickets were put on sale for members, at a minimum price of 199 euros, Joan Laporta tried to provide an explanation for the steep prices offered to spectators. And above all he wanted to defuse the controversy.
“ As we increase reception capacity, ticket prices will drop . »
In his comments reported by Marca, the leader whose mandate is expiring and who must organize new elections between March and June 2026, added: “It is important to remember that subscriptions remain the cheapest in Europe, but as this is a historic event, prices are higher than usual. » A Barça subscriber pays 219 euros per year.

“We will adjust the ratio between subscribers and the rest of the public. »
