Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid means finding Real Madrid tickets just got harder ahead of the 2024/25 season.

Tickets for the Santiago Bernabeu are usually sold out for many months ahead, so if you want to watch Los Blancos live, you better plan ahead from now.

Real Madrid season tickets: Pricing, availability
Season tickets for the 24/25 season are still available, but due to high demand, especially with high-profile signings ahead of the new season, the stadium could be sold out in a few weeks.
Note that most season ticket holders renew every summer, so only a handful, if that, become available. For those, there is a very long waiting list for those, so purchasing a season ticket without being on that waiting list for many years is virtually impossible.
In the 2023/24 season, the cheapest season ticket option was €1,350, while the premier season ticket cost €4500. It means fans will pay the same amount or a little more in the new season of 2024/25.
The club is yet to announce ticket availability for the general public, save for the VIP ticket prices. Keep checking the official website for any changes before booking.
Real Madrid matchday tickets and single-match tickets: Pricing, availability
Real Madrid tickets for individual matches could be found on general sale from time to time, especially for games against smaller teams.
The prices are usually determined by the strength of the opposition and the seating area required. Real Madrid tickets for individual matchdays in La Liga begin from €70 for club members or €100 for non-members.
On rare occasions tickets are available for the Grandstand, but the starting price for those starts from €287 for members and €410 for non-members.
Do I need a membership to buy Real Madrid tickets?
You don't need a membership to buy Real Madrid tickets. That said, membership gives you a substantial discount and priority for purchasing tickets when they become available.
How to get a Real Madrid membership
This is a pretty straightforward process, with Real Madrid’s website taking care of everything in a straightforward way. The main types of membership, turning you officially into a ‘Madridista’ are as follows:
- Regular Membership: This has one, two, or three-year duration plans. The longer the period you want to commit to, the cheaper the annual fee. The fee for this plan varies from €123 per year for three years up to €153 for a single year.
- Junior Membership: This is an option only for youngsters aged 14 or below. It can be purchased only in conjunction with a regular membership and the cost varies from €30 to €37 per year.
Real Madrid ticket prices at the Santiago Bernabeu
The price of Real Madrid tickets for their home matches varies based on the opposition and competition. Very rarely are there Real Madrid tickets available for general sale for Champions League matches.
There's a much higher chance of finding a Santiago Bernabeu ticket for a La Liga fixture. Depending on the stand chosen and the popularity of the fixture the price of a single matchday ticket can vary from as low as €70, rising to €410 for a premium seat.

Real Madrid hospitality tickets
There are two main options for those – Season Real Madrid hospitality tickets and Matchday Real Madrid hospitality tickets. All hospitality tickets guarantee a 360º panoramic view of the pitch and also include gourmet catering, hostess services and cloakroom in annexed hospitality areas.
There is still plenty of time to buy hospitality tickets, including for the first home game of the 2024/25 season on 25 August 2024. Thus, based on the information on the official club website, hospitality tickets for the 2024/25 season will start from €295 for the clash with Valladolid and then climb to €325 when Los Blancos host Real Betis at Bernabeu on 1 September 2024.
VIP tickets for a clash with Espanyol on 22 September will cost €295, while the game against Deportivo Alaves will be the cheapest in September at €275.
Real Madrid will host Barcelona in La Liga on 27 October 2024, and as usual, this is the most expensive match to watch at Bernabeu as those seeking hospitality tickets will part with a whooping €850 on the lower side. The fact that it will be Mbappe's first El Classico means hospitality tickets might be sold out even before the 2024/25 season kick-offs.
Another expensive hospitality ticket in Real Madrid's 2024/25 Liga schedule will be against Sevilla on 22 December and is already priced at €325. However, you will pay a little more to watch the Madrid derby when Carlo Ancelotti's squad host Atleti on 9 February 2025. Hospitality prices for the Madrid derby currently go for €390.
From the foregoing, you can see that the value of hospitality tickets varies depending on the significance as well as the popularity of a match. You may pay up to €1,600 when you factor in additional benefits that come with being a hospitality ticket holder at Santiago Bernabeu.
Santiago Bernabeu Stadium renovation – the latest
The Real Madrid stadium renovation is nearing completion and should be ready to host the 2024/25 matches. Expanded seating capacity, upgraded shopping experience and additional VIP lounges, not to mention improved visual appeal, means a more immersive matchday experience. It also means more money for the club.
A modernized stadium design to improve the aesthetics, something Madridstas have described as a spaceship, means Bernebeu will attract more visitors to the Spanish capital. The improvements lend credence to higher ticket prices for Bernabeu Stadium tours and matchday VIP tickets.
More notable is the additional 300 Super VIP seats, with each expected to cost around €177,000. Other new features such as a retractable roof/pitch and a pitch storage system further justify the huge investment put into refurbishing the venue.
The initial cost of the refurbishment was €1billion and with these changes, Santiago Bernabeu undoubtedly passes the threshold of a sustainable green stadium.
