Buy Bodø/Glimt tickets for the 2026/27 season and you are chasing one of the scarcest seats in European football. Aspmyra Stadion holds 8,200. Kjetil Knutsen's side reached the Champions League round of 16 last season, beat Inter at the San Siro on the way and have qualified again, so four of Europe's established clubs come to a ground eighty kilometres north of the Arctic Circle in a town of forty-three thousand people.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
The arithmetic is unlike anywhere else on this site. When Tottenham came for the Europa League semi-final in May 2025 the club held back close to two thousand seats for UEFA, the media and the visiting allocation, and 480 tickets reached open sale. More than fifty thousand people queued for them. Borussia Dortmund on 14 October and Atletico Madrid on 19 January will not be softer.
What follows covers what those seats actually cost against a season ticket that runs to a few hundred pounds, why club membership cannot help you this season and the exact date that closed, how the away sector and the singing end work, then the practical business of reaching a town with no direct international flights in winter. Everything is scoped to Bodø/Glimt and to this season.
Bodø/Glimt sold out their 2026 sesongkort allocation and the club's own ticket menu has read utsolgt since. Around 4,600 season cards were in circulation by spring 2025 and the club now reports roughly 10,500 season ticket holders and members combined, against a ground that holds 8,200. For a Champions League night the sale runs season ticket holders first, then members, then whatever survives.
The sequence matters more than the numbers. Season ticket holders were offered a four-match package covering all four home league phase fixtures before anything else moved, then received a purchase right ahead of each individual match, then members got one ticket each, and an open sale happens only after all of that. For the play-off against NEC Nijmegen in August that open sale released just under a thousand tickets, and the ground was sold out.
Membership is the part that catches visitors out, and it is worth being blunt about it. To hold purchase rights for the 2026/27 European season you had to be a paid-up member before 31 March 2026. That date has gone. Joining today gets you a vote at the annual meeting and a discount in the club shop, and no priority whatsoever for the matches in this article. The routes that remain open are the verified secondary market and, for the away fixtures, buying from the host club. Both are covered in detail below.
1BoxOffice has run as a verified secondary marketplace since 2006, which spans Bodø/Glimt from the second tier through the near-bankruptcy of 2006, the relegation of 2016, four league titles in five seasons and two consecutive Champions League campaigns. Every listing comes from a seller whose inventory has been checked before it goes live, and every order carries a guarantee that returns 150% of what you paid if the tickets do not work.
Buying for a match in Bodø has traps that catch visitors out, from a club sale process conducted entirely in Norwegian to a members' window that closed in March. A marketplace with tracked delivery and support open around the clock takes the guesswork out of a trip where the flights, the hotel and the seat all have to line up in a town this size.
Bodø/Glimt have sold out every European match at Aspmyra for years, with crowds of 8,016 against Manchester City, 7,845 against Inter and 7,971 against Sporting CP last season. League matches are a different picture, averaging just under seven thousand and filling only for the northern derby. The gap between those two states is where a visitor's whole planning problem sits.
Several pressures act at once and they weigh very differently across the fixture list. Knowing which apply to the match you want is the difference between a fifty-pound afternoon and a five-hundred-pound evening.
The practical consequence is a calendar that splits into two entirely separate products. A Tuesday league fixture against a mid-table side and the Dortmund night are sold under the same badge at a multiple of roughly ten, and choosing between them saves far more than comparing sectors inside one match.
One point has to come first because it decides everything else. As of the start of September 2026 Bodø/Glimt had not published face values for the four Champions League home fixtures, stating only that ticket information would follow on their own site shortly. Any figure quoted elsewhere as a Champions League face value at Aspmyra today is invented, and this page will not add to that.
What is verified gives you a firm floor and a firm ceiling. The club sold away tickets for the Bayern Munich fixture at 340 Norwegian kroner, around twenty-seven pounds, and for the Nijmegen play-off at 365 kroner. Season tickets in the 2025 pricing ran from 1,400 kroner for the singing section to 4,000 for the central main stand. Against that, resale listings for Bodø/Glimt tickets to the home Champions League fixtures open between three hundred and forty and three hundred and eighty-five pounds. Sterling ranges below convert at roughly 0.079 to the krone and reflect observed secondary market bands for 2026/27.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Eliteserien, standard fixtures | £30 – £80 |
| Eliteserien, the Tromso derby and Rosenborg | £60 – £140 |
| Norwegian Cup, early rounds | £20 – £55 |
| Champions League, LASK | £250 – £480 |
| Champions League, Lille | £260 – £520 |
| Champions League, Atletico Madrid | £340 – £850+ |
| Champions League, Borussia Dortmund | £385 – £950+ |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
There is an oddity in those numbers worth acting on. The four away fixtures resell for a fraction of the four home ones, because Bayern, Napoli, Lens and Club Brugge all hold between eight and nine times as many people as Aspmyra. Watching this team at the Allianz Arena or the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona costs less than a quarter of what a seat in Bodø does, and both cities are easier to reach. If the object is to see Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League rather than to see Aspmyra specifically, the away calendar is the sensible purchase.
Yes, and this season you have no alternative, because membership no longer opens any door. The cut-off for holding purchase rights across the 2026/27 European campaign was 31 March 2026, with a further deadline of 6 August for the season itself. Both have passed. Joining now costs 200 kroner, around sixteen pounds, and delivers a vote at the annual meeting, ten per cent off ordinary goods in the club shop plus purchase rights that begin next season.
It is also worth understanding what membership buys even when you have it in time. The club states plainly that a purchase right does not guarantee a ticket, members receive one ticket per membership, and every season card holder sits ahead of them in the queue. Registration runs through the Norwegian sports federation's own identity system, which is a real friction point for anyone without a Norwegian personal number. This is not a Spanish or German model where a foreign visitor can buy their way to the front.
Two routes stay open. The verified secondary market is the practical one for the home fixtures, and the delivery question covered further down is the thing to settle before you pay rather than after. For the four away matches, buying through the host club is straightforward and far less expensive, and Bodø/Glimt themselves distributed the Bayern allocation at twenty-seven pounds a ticket. Hospitality at Aspmyra exists in the form of the Aspmyra Sportsbar and fifteen boxes in the main stand, but the club publishes no prices and quotes on enquiry only.
The sesongkort covers home Eliteserien matches with a fixed seat on the LNS-Tribunen, and that is the extent of what it admits you to. Everything else it provides is a forkjopsrett, a purchase right: priority to buy for home matches in UEFA competitions, for the Norwegian Cup and for a possible cup final. The card is personal at one per name, and it cannot be moved between sectors or refunded.
The prices below are the club's published 2025 figures, which were themselves held level with 2024, since no 2026 table has been posted and the 2026 allocation sold out. They are among the least expensive season tickets at any club in this competition. The J-feltet card includes membership of the supporters' group, and children under sixteen are admitted free to league matches on a separate arrangement. Sterling converts at roughly 0.079 to the krone.
| Sector | Category | Season Price (NOK) | Season Price (GBP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| G and H, LNS-Tribunen | Ordinary adult | 4,000 | £317 |
| I, LNS-Tribunen | Ordinary adult | 3,200 | £253 |
| SNN-Tribunen | Ordinary adult | 2,900 | £230 |
| SNN-Tribunen | Concession, senior or under 30 | 1,900 | £150 |
| E, Action Now family stand | Adult | 2,000 | £158 |
| E, Action Now family stand | Child | 750 | £59 |
| J-feltet | Includes supporters' club membership | 1,400 | £111 |
Aspmyra has four stands and no upper tiers, and since 2022 it has been entirely seated. The two long sides are the LNS-Tribunen to the south, which is the main stand holding sectors E to J, and the SNN-Tribunen to the north, which is sold as one undivided free-seating block for league matches. The ends are the Havet-Tribunen, meaning the sea, holding sectors C and D, and the Byen-Tribunen, meaning the town, holding K and L. Sectors run from C to L with no A or B.
| Stand / Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sector J, LNS-Tribunen | Atmosphere | Lowest | J-feltet, the supporters' group, occupying 521 places at the west end of the main stand and extending into the first section of K since 2023, around six hundred people in total. Reserved exclusively for J-feltet members and the club warns that standing there without a valid ticket for that sector means being asked to leave. |
| Sector K, Byen-Tribunen | Noise without the membership requirement | Lower | Adjoins J at the town end. The section of K beyond the J-feltet extension is sold normally and puts you alongside the singing without needing to belong to the group. Uncovered. |
| SNN-Tribunen | Value | Lower | The north side, part 1966 grandstand with a roof at the rear and part unroofed 2022 stand in front. Free seating for league matches and allocated for European ties. The least expensive ordinary adult sector on the season ticket table. |
| Sectors G and H, LNS-Tribunen | The finest view in the ground | Highest | Central on the main stand, roofed, facing the sea end. This is where the club's own most expensive season cards sit and where the Sportsbar seating is distributed alongside F and I. |
| Rows 1 to 4, sector E | Families | Lower | The Action Now family stand, free seating, alcohol-free and priced separately with a child rate at 750 kroner for a whole season. |
| Sector C, Havet-Tribunen | Visiting supporters only | Away allocation | The designated away sector, with its own entrance off Halogalandsgata that is closed to home supporters on European nights. Uncovered and at the sea end. A listing offering these seats to a neutral should be treated with suspicion. |
The away half of this season is the part a visiting supporter can realistically buy into, and the club handles it directly. Allocations are distributed to members through a purchase right, one ticket each, with full personal details collected for every traveller, and the tickets themselves do not always arrive through the same channel as the receipt. For the Nijmegen play-off they were physical tickets collected in the Netherlands; for Bayern they came from the German club and every buyer had to register there separately.
Anyone travelling should confirm the arrangement for their specific fixture rather than relying on a general guide. The table sets out what is established.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Away allocation at Aspmyra | Sector C on the Havet-Tribunen, plus 200 seats on the LNS-Tribunen for European matches. UEFA rules require at least 5% of approved capacity for visiting supporters, which at Aspmyra works out at roughly 400 seats before the additional 200. |
| Away colours elsewhere in the ground | Banned. The club states that visiting supporter items are permitted only in the away sector and those 200 main stand seats, and that anyone appearing in another club's kit will be asked to remove it or leave. |
| Champions League away pricing | UEFA caps an away ticket at the price a home supporter pays in a comparable sector and in no case above €50. Bodø/Glimt distributed the Bayern Munich allocation at 340 kroner, roughly £27, well inside that ceiling. |
| Distribution route | Through club membership with a purchase right of one ticket per member, using a queue system that assigns a random position to everyone present when the sale opens. Arriving an hour early confers no advantage. |
| Personal data required | First name, surname, email, nationality and date of birth for every person travelling. Away tickets are name-bound and identity is checked by the host club. |
Aspmyra gives you fewer choices than a large ground and the decision is less about sightlines than about weather and noise. Nothing here is far from the pitch, but only the two long sides have any roof at all, and on a November evening in a coastal wind that is the difference that matters. The table maps five priorities onto the areas that deliver them.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Atmosphere above everything | Sector K, Byen-Tribunen | J-feltet itself requires membership of the supporters' group, but the part of K beyond their extension is sold normally and sits directly alongside them. You get the singing and the toothbrushes without the enrolment. Bring waterproofs, because the end stands have no roof. |
| Best view of the match | Sectors G and H, LNS-Tribunen | Central on the main stand and under cover, facing across to the north side. In a ground this small every seat is close, so the premium here buys shelter and a central angle rather than proximity. |
| Value without compromise | SNN-Tribunen | The north side is the least expensive ordinary adult sector and the rear section under the old 1966 roof is dry. The 2022 stand built in front of it is not, so the row number matters more here than anywhere else in the ground. |
| Premium experience | Aspmyra Sportsbar or a box | Fifteen boxes seating twelve each and a hundred club seats, all in the main stand, with a buffet from ninety minutes before kick-off. Note the rule that catches people out: you must sit outside in your allocated seat during play, and alcohol may only be drunk indoors. |
| Lower-priced option | An Eliteserien fixture, or an away leg | A league match at Aspmyra costs a small fraction of a European night and is the only realistic way for a non-member to sit in this ground at short notice. Failing that, the away legs at Bayern, Napoli, Lens and Club Brugge resell for a quarter of what the home ties do. |
Aspmyra Stadion opened in 1966 and holds 8,200, which makes it comfortably the smallest ground hosting Champions League league phase football this season. It sits about a kilometre south of the centre of Bodø, is owned by the municipality and operated by a municipal company, and the club has nicknamed it Hell of Ice. The record attendance is 12,189 for a Norwegian Cup tie against Viking in 1975, set when the town held barely thirty thousand people and still the largest crowd at any sporting event in Northern Norway.
The ground reached its present form for a specific regulatory reason. A stand holding 660 was added at the west end in spring 2021, UEFA granted a capacity dispensation for that European campaign, and when the dispensation was not renewed the club built roughly 1,900 seats over the old standing area in front of the north grandstand, opening them in April 2022. The driver was UEFA's category four minimum of eight thousand seats. Nothing has been added since and no temporary stands are planned for this season, so the figure a visitor should work from is 8,200 for a league match and a little under eight thousand once segregation and institutional holds are applied for a European one.
The pitch is artificial, laid in 2006 and recarpeted in 2022, measuring 105 by 68 metres and fitted with under-soil heating that dates back to a renovation funded between 1989 and 1992. UEFA's stadium infrastructure regulations permit fully artificial surfaces provided the turf holds a valid quality certificate from an accredited testing laboratory throughout the season, so this is entirely within the rules rather than a tolerated exception. The practical benefit showed itself in April 2025, when the Europa League quarter-final against Lazio was played after heavy snowfall had covered the ground on the morning of the match. Grass would not have survived that.
Two of the four stands are roofed, both long sides, and even there the coverage is partial because the 2022 section in front of the north grandstand is open. The Havet and Byen ends have no roof at all. Bodø sits on a peninsula in the Norwegian Sea with average wind speeds between five and seven metres a second through the autumn and winter, so a seat under the LNS roof and a seat at the sea end are materially different experiences at the same kick-off time.
Then there is the light, and this is the part almost every guide gets wrong. Bodø is roughly eighty kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, which is far enough to feel Arctic and not far enough for a true polar night. The sun rises on every single day of the year here. At the winter solstice it is above the horizon for forty-eight minutes. What does happen is that from early December to early January the mountains to the south hide it from parts of the municipality, which is the local version of morketid, but astronomically there is no polar night at Bodø and anyone quoting dates for one is describing somewhere else.
All four Champions League home matches nonetheless kick off in complete darkness, and the two winter fixtures are extreme. On 24 November there are four hours and eight minutes of daylight and the sun peaks about two degrees above the horizon; on 19 January there are four hours and eighteen minutes. October averages 138 millimetres of rain across seventeen wet days and is the wettest month of the year, November brings around ten centimetres of snow and January around twenty-four. Mean daily temperatures run from about seven degrees in October to just below freezing in January, which is remarkably mild for the latitude thanks to the Gulf Stream. Rain and wind, not frost, are what a visitor should dress for.
Getting to the ground is the easy part of the trip. The stadium is roughly a kilometre south of the centre, twelve to fifteen minutes on foot, about twenty minutes' walk from the railway station and close enough to Bodø Airport that the club describes it as under ten minutes on foot, though fifteen is more realistic with luggage. Local bus routes 1 and 3 serve it and the Aspasen stop is a minute away on route 2. Parking is a small lot on the south side and street parking towards the centre, so driving is not the answer.
Getting to Bodø is the hard part, and it deserves planning well before you buy anything. Bodø's international air service is seasonal and summer-only, so for the November and January fixtures there are no direct international flights at all and everything routes through Oslo Gardermoen, Trondheim or Bergen. Oslo to Bodø takes about an hour and twenty-five minutes with more than ten daily returns, and London to Bodø runs to around seven hours door to door on the fastest connections. The Nordland Line from Trondheim is a beautiful nine hours and forty-nine minutes by day, but the night train has been suspended since October 2024 pending new locomotives and was still not running when this page was reviewed. The coastal ferry calls at Bodø daily and takes about twenty-four hours from Trondheim.
Accommodation is finite rather than scarce. Bodø has roughly a dozen hotels and somewhere near eighteen hundred rooms after a building run in 2021 and 2022 added more than five hundred, which is adequate for a four-hundred-strong away following but tightens quickly once UEFA, the media, sponsors and Norwegian supporters travelling north are added. Prices move. When NRK covered the 2025 Champions League qualification, one flat owner overlooking the ground had advertised his apartment for fifteen thousand kroner for a single match before his housing co-operative blocked it, and told the paper he had found comparable listings at higher prices still. Book the room before the ticket.
Hospitality at Aspmyra is small and unusual, and the club does not publish prices for any of it. There are 280 premium places in total, made up of fifteen boxes seating twelve each and a hundred club seats attached to the Aspmyra Sportsbar, all of them in the main stand. Prices are quoted on enquiry through the club's partner contacts, so the figures below are structural rather than financial and no sterling range is given where none is published.
The Sportsbar operating rules are worth reading before you book, because they differ from hospitality elsewhere in Europe in one specific way. You watch the football from your allocated seat outside, not from inside the bar, and that applies to children too. The indoor space is for before the match, half time and afterwards, and alcohol may only be consumed there.
| Package | What It Includes | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Aspmyra Sportsbar | One hundred club seats distributed across sectors F, G, H and I, with a wristband issued on arrival, a buffet from ninety minutes before kick-off with at least two food stations, a simple dessert at half time and allergy alternatives on request. | Prices on enquiry; the club publishes no rate card |
| Boxes | Fifteen boxes in the LNS-Tribunen seating twelve people each, 180 places in total, run by the club rather than the municipal stadium operator alongside the conference centre. | Prices on enquiry; sold through the partner team |
| The pre-match show | A host interviews both managers in the Sportsbar roughly forty-five minutes before kick-off, which is included with a Sportsbar ticket rather than sold separately. | Included with Sportsbar entry |
| Post-match access | The Sportsbar opens to all supporters for an hour and a half after every home league match, whether or not you held a hospitality ticket. | Open to all after league matches |
| European and cup nights | The club states that Sportsbar rules may change for cup and European fixtures, so confirm the arrangement for a Champions League match rather than assuming the league format applies. | Confirm per fixture |
Buying for a match in Bodø has two features that catch visitors out, and both need settling before you pay rather than the week of the match. The club prohibits resale in its ground regulations and runs no exchange of its own, while tickets are delivered into the club's own application. The sequence below covers everything from picking a fixture to getting through the turnstile.
Step1
Pick the fixture, and consider the away leg
Decide which match you want before you look at seats, because the spread at this club is extreme in both directions. A league fixture at Aspmyra and the Dortmund night are separated by a multiple of ten, and the same team playing away at Bayern or Napoli resells for a quarter of the home price in a ground nine times the size.
Step2
Set up your account
Browsing is open to anyone, but you need an account to complete a purchase and to keep your order details together afterwards. Take a minute to create an account first, rather than building one at checkout while the listing you want is still available.
Step3
Book the flights and the room before the seat
This is the reversal that Bodø demands. There are no direct international flights in November or January, connections run through Oslo, the city has around eighteen hundred hotel rooms and prices move sharply around European nights. Confirm you can get there and sleep there, then buy.
Step4
Choose a sector and check the roof
Sectors run C to L with no upper tier, so nothing is far from the pitch. What varies is shelter. Only the two long sides are roofed and even the north side is part open, while the Havet and Byen ends have none at all. In a coastal wind in November that matters more than the angle.
Step5
Read the delivery notes before anything else
This is the step that matters most in Bodø. The club's ground regulations prohibit resale, there is no exchange, and match tickets are delivered into the Glimt app through the club's ticketing platform. Confirm exactly how a listing will reach you and in whose name it will sit before you pay.
Step6
Complete a secure checkout
Enter your details as they appear on the passport you will carry, and use contact details you can be reached on while travelling. Payment is encrypted and confirmation arrives immediately.
Step7
Note that European matches are allocated seating
Free seating applies in some sectors for league matches and does not apply in Europe. The seat printed on your ticket is the seat you sit in, across every stand, and the club is explicit about it. Gates open ninety minutes before kick-off and the club asks supporters to be in place an hour before.
Step8
Follow your order through to delivery
Once the purchase is confirmed you can watch its progress from the seller to you with the track order tool. Check it in the days before you fly, and download the club's application in advance rather than relying on the network at the ground.
Work through those eight steps and the remaining decision is what you do with the daylight, because on the November and January dates there will be about four hours of it and the match kicks off long after dark.
Almost everything at Aspmyra in Europe is gone before it reaches a public sale, so the useful question is not which fixtures sell out but how far short of demand each one falls. The pattern is consistent enough to plan around.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Borussia Dortmund on 14 October | The largest travelling support of the four visitors and the highest observed resale floor, opening above three hundred and eighty pounds. Dortmund's away following will fill the 400-seat UEFA allocation and the additional 200 main stand places without difficulty, and the demand behind it will not. |
| Atletico Madrid on 19 January | A rematch of the fixture Bodø/Glimt won 2-1 in Madrid in January 2026, one of the two results that took them into the knockout phase. Resale has opened above three hundred and forty pounds and the January date brings the added scarcity of a winter trip. |
| Lille on 3 November and LASK on 24 November | Less freighted than the other two and correspondingly less expensive, which makes them the realistic target for anyone determined to sit in this ground during a European campaign. Both will still sell out. |
| The Tromso derby | Slaget om Nord-Norge is the one league fixture that fills Aspmyra, drawing 8,232 in May 2026 against a season average just under seven thousand. It is traditionally played around 16 May, the eve of the national day, with home advantage alternating each year. |
| Any match that could settle the league | Bodø/Glimt lost the 2025 title to Viking by a single point on the final day and lead the 2026 table by one from the same club. A September or October league date that looks ordinary in advance can become a championship decider, and the market moves within hours. |
Delivery in Bodø is the question that decides whether a purchase works, and it needs stating without softening. The club's ground regulations prohibit reselling tickets outright and there is no club exchange or forwarding marketplace, so the only sanctioned way to pass a ticket to somebody else is to share it within a linked group inside the club's own ticketing account. Read the listing notes carefully and understand the mechanism before you commit.
Two further points apply. Season tickets and member purchases are personal and name-bound, and the club will not permit more than one in the same name. Refunds do not exist: the terms state plainly that tickets cannot be refunded and season cards cannot be moved between sectors. Carry a passport, expect a search at the gate and expect it to be thorough.
Gates open ninety minutes before kick-off for European matches and the club asks supporters to be in place an hour before, which for a 21:00 start means being inside by 20:00. Take that seriously in Bodø, because the walk in is exposed and there is nowhere to shelter around the ground. On European nights the club also redirects entrances for security reasons, closing the Halogalandsgata gate to home supporters because it sits too close to the away entrance, so check which gate applies to your ticket on the day rather than assuming last time's arrangement holds.
Carry a passport. Everyone entering Aspmyra should expect strict control at the gates and personal searches are described by the club as part of the normal procedure. The stands are under continuous video surveillance. Entry is through the club's application, so bring a charged phone with the ticket already loaded and do not rely on downloading it at the turnstile. European matches are allocated seating across every stand, and the seat on the ticket is the seat you occupy.
There is no published bag dimension because the rule is simpler than that: the club tells supporters not to bring a bag or rucksack at all, and states that everyone is searched. Travel to the ground with what fits in your pockets. Prohibited items include weapons and anything usable as one, bottles of every type and cans, fireworks of any kind including smoke canisters and flares, alcohol and drugs, motorcycle helmets, flags on poles or banners that block sightlines, laser pointers and video cameras. Banners carrying political, religious, ideological, sexual or commercial messages are also barred. Anyone visibly intoxicated is refused entry, and Norwegian stewarding enforces that.

Bodø/Glimt spent their first fifty-six years barred by regulation from the competitions that would have made them famous, and the next thirty losing as often as they won. They did not reach the Norwegian top division until 1976, did not win it until 2020, and have now won it four times in five seasons while reaching a European semi-final and a Champions League round of sixteen. Almost none of this is old.
The nine regional championships are the honours that explain the club's identity and the reason its supporters have a chip on the shoulder about the south. For half a century Bodø/Glimt were prevented from competing nationally by rule rather than by ability, and the moment the rule went they proved the point within a decade.
The 1975 cup win is the founding myth and it is also the club's grievance made concrete: they won a national trophy and were still refused promotion. That travelling support is regarded within Norway as the origin of modern supporter culture there, and it is where the yellow toothbrush comes from.
Two and a half decades of promotion, relegation and financial crisis produced nothing lasting, which is worth remembering when the current side is described as a model. The transformation that followed was not gradual. It began with a relegation.
The financial scale of that change is easy to underrate. Deloitte reported that the club generated 497 million kroner in UEFA revenue during 2025 and that total revenue rose 125 per cent to 759 million, with a profit above 200 million. That money is building the replacement stadium, which is the direct reason this run of matches at Aspmyra is finite.
Bodø/Glimt retire no shirt numbers, and the club's own records before 1977 were not kept accurately enough to settle its all-time scoring list, so several of the figures below carry honest caveats. What is not in doubt is the Berg family, four generations of whom have played for this club and for Norway.
| Player | Years | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Ulrik Saltnes | 2011 to present | 429 appearances and 102 goals in all competitions as of August 2026, of which 78 in Europe. The club marked his 400th match. No source names an all-time appearance record holder, but he is the outstanding modern figure and part of the captaincy team |
| Harald Berg | 1958 to 1964, 1974 to 1981 | 43 Norway caps. Played in and captained the 1975 cup-winning side, captained the club from 1975 to 1977 and again in 1981, then managed it in 1981 and 1983. Also had a career at ADO Den Haag |
| Patrick Berg | 2014 to 2022, 2022 to present | Harald's grandson, 34 Norway caps, wears number 7 and takes the armband more often than anyone else. Valued at twelve million euros, the highest of any player in the Eliteserien |
| Arne Hanssen | 1960s and 1970s | Credited with more than six hundred goals and named as the club's leading scorer of all time, though the club kept no accurate records before 1977 and the figure has never been verified. He was also in the 1975 cup-winning side |
| Kasper Junker | 2020 | 27 goals in a single season, the club record, in the campaign that brought a first league title with 103 goals and 81 points from thirty matches |
| Philip Zinckernagel | 2020 | 19 goals and 18 assists in the title season and player of the year. Sold that winter alongside Jens Petter Hauge and Junker, and the club won the league again anyway |
| Kasper Hogh | 2024 to 2026 | League top scorer with 17 in 2025 and sold to Celtic in July 2026 for 12.85 million euros, the club's record sale by a distance |
Every national trophy this club holds has been won since 1975 and most of them since 2020. The regional honours that dominate the count are a relic of the era when northern clubs were shut out of the national game.
| Competition | Titles | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Eliteserien | 4 | 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2024. Runners-up six times, including 2022 and 2025, the latter by a single point to Viking on the final day. The 2020 title was the first won by any club from Northern Norway |
| Norwegian Cup | 3 | 1975 against Vard Haugesund, 1993 against Stromsgodset and 2026 against Brann, the last of those 3-3 after extra time and 4-2 on penalties at Ullevaal in front of 24,636. Runners-up five times, twice to Molde |
| Northern Norwegian Cup | 9 | 1930, 1933, 1934, 1939, 1952, 1963, 1964, 1967 and 1969, a record for the competition, which effectively ended once northern clubs gained access to national tournaments |
| 1. divisjon | 2 | 2013 and 2017, the second of those won by sixteen points with a division record 83 goals. Also promoted in 1976 and 2007 |
| European best | Semi-final | The 2024/25 Europa League semi-final, a first for any Norwegian club, reached by eliminating Lazio on penalties. Matched in weight by the 2025/26 Champions League round of sixteen, which included the first Champions League knockout tie ever won by a Norwegian side |
| All-time European record | 115 matches | 55 wins, 20 draws and 40 defeats with 220 goals scored and 161 conceded as of August 2026. The club's UEFA coefficient ranking stood at 31st |
Slaget om Nord-Norge, the battle of Northern Norway, is the fixture against Tromso and the club's own literature names them as the principal rival. The two first met in a regional cup semi-final in August 1939, but the modern rivalry dates from 1993, when Bodø/Glimt's promotion produced the first top-flight meeting of two northern clubs, and it hardened after Tromso beat them in the 1996 cup final. Across Eliteserien meetings from 1993 to July 2026 the record reads 46 played, 19 wins to Bodø/Glimt, 12 draws and 18 to Tromso, with goals at 72-68. The fixture is traditionally scheduled around 16 May and it is the one league date that fills Aspmyra, drawing 8,232 in 2026 when Bodø/Glimt won 5-0.
Rosenborg are the historic measure rather than a hostile rivalry: Norway's record champions, the benchmark this club displaced and the opponent Bodø/Glimt beat away in 1963 in their first cup campaign. Rosenborg also took both the league and the cup from them in 2003. Since 2005 the meetings are close to level overall, but Bodø/Glimt have won eight of nine at Aspmyra, most recently 4-2 in August 2026. Molde are the modern nemesis, having won the cup finals of 2022 and 2023 by the same 1-0 scoreline and denying a double twice, and they hold the edge in meetings since 2005. Brann are the newest and sharpest, beaten in the 2026 cup final on penalties, and they bring the highest average attendance in Norway to the away calendar.
Roma is the European fixture with the most history in it. In the inaugural Conference League group stage of 2021/22 Bodø/Glimt beat them 6-1 at Aspmyra, then drew 2-2 in Rome, then met them again in the quarter-final, winning the home leg 2-1 before losing 4-0 in Italy to the eventual winners. Four meetings in one season, and the 6-1 remains the reference point for what this ground can do to a visiting side.
Lazio and Tottenham define the 2024/25 run, the first eliminated on penalties in the quarter-final after a 2-0 home win and a 1-3 defeat in Rome, the second ending it 5-1 on aggregate in the semi-final. Inter Milan carry the landmark: beaten 3-1 at Aspmyra and 2-1 at the San Siro in February 2026, the first Champions League knockout tie ever won by a Norwegian club, and a reversal of the Cup Winners' Cup tie Inter won 7-1 on aggregate in 1978. Manchester City and Atletico Madrid provided the two results that made last season, and Atletico return to Aspmyra on 19 January.
Four league titles in five seasons, a European semi-final, a Champions League round of sixteen and a cup ended thirty-three years of waiting. The table sets out how quickly that happened. Note that Norway plays a spring to autumn calendar, so each league season is followed by the European campaign listed alongside it in the following winter and spring.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021 | Champions on 63 points, back to back, after selling Zinckernagel, Hauge and Junker without direct replacements. Sealed 3-0 at Mjondalen on the final day. Runners-up in the cup to Molde. In Europe, a first group stage in the inaugural Conference League, unbeaten in the group including the 6-1 against Roma, and out to Roma in the quarter-final. |
| 2022 | Second on 60 points with 86 goals scored, the highest total of these five seasons, and a cup semi-final. In Europe, a Champions League play-off lost to Dinamo Zagreb after extra time, then the Europa League group stage and a Conference League knockout play-off lost to Lech Poznan. |
| 2023 | Champions on 70 points, a third title in four seasons, and beaten in the cup final by Molde 1-0 for the second time in three years. In Europe, the Conference League group stage and a knockout play-off lost 4-3 on aggregate after extra time to Ajax. |
| 2024 | Champions on 62 points, a fourth title in five seasons, with a third-round cup exit. The European campaign that followed was the breakthrough: the Europa League league phase, then Twente and Olympiacos, then Lazio eliminated on penalties in the quarter-final, then the semi-final lost 5-1 on aggregate to Tottenham. |
| 2025 | Second on 70 points, losing the title to Viking by one point on the final day despite the division's best attack and best defence at 85-28, with Kasper Hogh scoring 17. In Europe, a first Champions League league phase, 23rd place, wins over Manchester City at home and Atletico Madrid away, Inter beaten 5-2 across two legs and the round of sixteen lost 5-3 on aggregate to Sporting CP. |
Bodø/Glimt sold Kasper Hogh to Celtic for 12.85 million euros in July and top the Eliteserien anyway, leading Viking by a point after eighteen matches with 44 points and a goal difference of plus 33. Andreas Helmersen has taken over as leading scorer with eight, and Joshua Kitolano and Joel Mvuka arrived in the summer window from Sparta Rotterdam and Lorient.
The captaincy is worth understanding before you look for an armband. There is no single captain and no vice-captain: a captaincy team of Patrick Berg, Sondre Brunstad Fet, Jostein Gundersen, Jens Petter Hauge and Ulrik Saltnes decides between them who leads out each match, and Berg does it most often. Market values below come from Transfermarkt and are converted to sterling, so treat them as approximate.

8,200 according to the club's own stadium page, entirely seated since 2022. For European matches the usable figure runs a little under eight thousand once segregation and institutional holds are applied, and the three Champions League crowds last season came in at 8,016, 7,845 and 7,971. No expansion is planned; a 10,000-capacity replacement ground began construction in May 2026 for completion in 2027.
Sector J on the LNS-Tribunen, home to J-feltet, which holds 521 places and extends into the first section of K, around six hundred people in all. That sector is reserved for members of the supporters' group, so the practical choice for a visitor is the rest of sector K on the Byen-Tribunen, immediately alongside them. Both are uncovered.
No. Bodø sits about eighty kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, which is not far enough for the sun to stop rising, and it clears the horizon on every day of the year, for forty-eight minutes even at the solstice. From early December to early January the mountains to the south hide it from parts of the municipality, which is the local version. All four home matches still kick off in complete darkness, and 24 November and 19 January have only around four hours of daylight.
Through the Glimt app, which is where the club places every ticket it issues, with the club's ticketing platform behind it. The club prohibits resale in its ground regulations and operates no exchange, and the only transfer route it sanctions is sharing within a linked friends-and-family group inside that platform. Read the delivery notes on any listing before paying, carry a passport and expect a search at the gate.
Through Oslo. Bodø's direct international flights are summer-seasonal only, so outside those months everything connects via Oslo Gardermoen, Trondheim or Bergen. Oslo to Bodø takes about an hour and twenty-five minutes with more than ten daily returns, and London to Bodø runs to around seven hours door to door. The Nordland Line from Trondheim takes nine hours and forty-nine minutes by day, and the night train has been suspended since October 2024.
Whichever fixture you are chasing, 1BoxOffice has been connecting supporters with verified sellers since 2006 and every order carries a 150% money-back guarantee. Compare the listings across Bodø/Glimt's home and away Champions League calendar, check the sector and the delivery method, then book knowing the seat is covered. In a ground holding 8,200 with four European nights left this season, that is worth having.
