This is a historic season for LASK. The Austrian champions reached the main stage of the Champions League for the first time, and the visit of a two-time European champion is the kind of night the club and its supporters have waited decades for. The two sides have never met in competitive football, so this is a genuine first meeting.
The Raiffeisen Arena is one of Europe's newest grounds, opened in 2023 on the Gugl hill above the city, and it holds just over 17,000 for UEFA matches. A small, fully covered stadium, a debutant host and one of the continent's most decorated visitors make seats for this fixture scarce.
Supply is the first factor. The stadium's capacity for international fixtures is 17,117, far smaller than the grounds most Champions League clubs call home, and LASK season ticket holders and members take a large share of that. With a visiting allocation for Porto set aside, only a small number of seats reach the resale market.
Demand is heightened by the story of LASK's season. The club won the Austrian title and the Austrian Cup in 2025/26, then came back from a 3-0 first-leg defeat against Celtic to win the play-off 5-4 on aggregate and reach the league phase. For supporters in Upper Austria, every home night in this campaign is a first, and the draw brought Liverpool, Fenerbahce, Slovan Bratislava and Porto to Linz.
FC Porto add their own pull. The Portuguese champions have won the European Cup twice, in 1987 and 2004, and they carry one of the most loyal travelling followings in Europe. Portuguese communities across Central Europe can add further demand for neutral seats.
The final-night format sharpens everything. With every club playing at once, a single goal in Linz could change places across the table, and supporters of both clubs will be following scores from across Europe all evening. That uncertainty is exactly what makes the last round of the league phase such a sought-after ticket.
Neutral visitors have their own reasons to target this date. Linz sits on the Danube between Vienna and Salzburg, and a Champions League night in a brand-new stadium is a strong reason to add the city to a winter trip through Austria. With so few seats available, those visitors compete directly with local supporters for every listing.
Through the club, it is difficult. LASK sell Champions League home tickets first to season ticket holders and members, and with such a small capacity there is little left for a true general sale. Anyone who is not already registered with the club has limited chances of securing a seat through club channels.
Visitors from abroad face further hurdles. Sales windows for European fixtures open only a few weeks before the match, the process is designed mainly for local supporters and tickets can be tied to the buyer's details. Anyone booking flights and hotels months ahead needs certainty long before those windows open.
Timing makes the difference. Once the club's priority windows close, the few remaining seats sell almost immediately, and by the time a general sale might open there is often nothing left in the side stands. Securing a marketplace listing early removes that race entirely.
A verified marketplace removes that uncertainty. On 1BoxOffice you can buy seats for this fixture without club membership, without waiting for a sales window and without guessing where a block sits. Each listing shows the stand, the delivery method and whether seats are together, so you can compare options in one place.
That matters most for overseas visitors, who often cannot register with the club or follow sales updates in German. A marketplace listing sets out the details in English, with a clear delivery timeline and support if anything changes before the match.
Seats together are another challenge in a small ground. Club sales often release scattered single seats for high-demand European nights, which makes it hard for families and groups to sit side by side. Marketplace listings state clearly whether seats are together before you pay.
Porto supporters should note one point. Tickets for the guest sector are sold through Porto's own allocation, not through resale, and marketplace seats will sit in home or neutral areas. That matters for colours and conduct, which the seating section below covers.
Five factors set the price: seat location, demand when you buy, the timing of the fixture, the competition context and whether you choose a hospitality package. For the 2026/27 league phase, a debut Champions League campaign, a small stadium and a decisive final matchday combine to push prices well above a typical Austrian league match.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £60 – £95 | Budget-conscious fans | Upper tiers towards the corners, strongest value on the night |
| Longside standard | £75 – £120 | Supporters who want a sideline view | Side stands away from the halfway line |
| Lower tier / central | £100 – £160+ | Buyers who want to be close to the action | Central lower blocks near halfway, listed first and sold first |
| Premium seating | £140 – £240+ | Couples and small groups | Business seats in the side stands, some with lounge access |
| Hospitality / VIP | £250 – £500+ | Corporate guests and premium experiences | Business club dining, drinks and central seats, or a private box |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Final-matchday prices tend to move with the table. If either club still has qualification to play for, demand climbs sharply in the last fortnight, so buying earlier gives you more choice at a steadier price. Groups of four or more who want to sit together should expect to pay towards the top of each range.
Remember that the resale price reflects more than the seat. It covers guaranteed access to a match with almost no general sale, a choice of stand and seats together for a group, with no membership or sales window needed. For a one-off trip to Linz, that is usually the most practical route.
Compare this fixture with LASK's other home nights too. The visit of Liverpool sits at the top of the price scale, while Porto, Fenerbahce and Slovan Bratislava follow behind. The final-night stakes can close that gap quickly, though, so the difference is often smallest in the last weeks before the match.
The Raiffeisen Arena is a compact, rectangular ground with stands on all four sides and a roof covering every seat. The west end behind one goal is a single-tier stand reserved for LASK's most vocal supporters, while the other three sides have two tiers, and the front rows sit slightly above pitch level for a clear view. Browse all Raiffeisen Arena tickets to compare this match with other fixtures at the ground.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| West end (home supporters) | Fans who want noise and colour | Mid | The single-tier home end, the loudest part of the ground on European nights |
| Side stands, lower tier | Buyers who want to be close to the action | Mid to high | Central blocks near halfway give the clearest view of the game |
| Side stands, upper tier | First-time visitors and neutral buyers | Mid | A full view of the pitch from a height, still close in such a compact bowl |
| East end (home sections) | Budget buyers | Low to mid | Behind the other goal; good value, though close to the visiting supporters |
| Business seats and boxes | Premium and corporate buyers | Highest | Around 2,400 business seats and 42 boxes, reached via the business club entrance |
| Guest sector | Porto supporters only | Set by the visiting club | A segregated section with its own entrance (E6) and kiosk; Porto blue and white belongs here only |
Neutral buyers should aim for the side stands. LASK play in black and white and Porto in blue and white stripes, so dress neutrally in home areas; stewards can move anyone in away colours out of home sections. Because the ground is so compact, even the upper tiers feel close to the pitch, which makes them a smart choice for value.
The roof is a real advantage in January. Every seat is covered, so wind and rain on the Gugl matter less than at older grounds, although the stadium sits on a hill and evenings can be cold. The ground also has 34 wheelchair spaces; confirm any accessible seating needs with the seller before you buy, as places are limited.
Families and first-time visitors tend to feel most comfortable in the side stands, where the crowd is calmer and the view complete. Supporters who want the full atmosphere of LASK's first Champions League campaign should look at seats close to the west end, where the noise builds long before kick-off.
Choosing between tiers comes down to priorities. The lower tier puts you close to the players and the intensity of a European night, while the upper tier gives a clearer tactical picture of both teams. In a stadium this compact, neither option leaves you far from the action.
For a ground of its size, the Raiffeisen Arena has a substantial premium offer. The BWT Business Club spreads across three floors with catering from a local restaurant partner, and the stadium includes around 2,400 business seats, 42 private boxes and two banqueting rooms.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Business seat | Fans upgrading a normal ticket | A padded central seat with a clear view of the pitch |
| Business club package | Small groups and couples | Access to the business club with food and drink before the match and at half-time |
| Dining package | Clients and celebration groups | A seated meal, inclusive drinks and prime central seats |
| Private box | Corporate hosts | A private space with catering and a direct view of the pitch for the whole group |
Hospitality for LASK's debut Champions League season is in high demand, so book early if you are entertaining clients. Package names and inclusions can change for European matches, so read the listing notes to see exactly what a ticket covers.
Hospitality also offers a warm arrival and a guaranteed central seat on a cold midweek night. For companies with clients in Upper Austria, a business club package for LASK's first Champions League campaign is a rare and memorable invitation.
For groups, a hospitality package also removes the task of piecing together separate listings in a small, sold-out ground. One booking covers seats together plus food and drink. Arriving early lets you enjoy the build-up before a 21:00 kick-off.
LASK use digital ticketing for most home matches, and Champions League fixtures often carry stricter rules on how tickets are issued and transferred. Know which delivery method a listing uses before you buy.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket transfer | The account or app the seller transfers to; set it up and log in well before matchday |
| E-ticket (PDF or QR) | How the ticket holder's name is recorded; each code scans once, so never share screenshots |
| Paper ticket by courier | Confirm the delivery address and dispatch date, and allow extra time for addresses outside Austria |
| Collection in Linz | Note the collection point, the opening hours and the ID you need to bring |
Read the listing notes carefully before you buy. Bring valid photo ID, as stewards can ask for it at European fixtures, keep bags small and charge your phone fully if your ticket is on it.
The stadium stands on the Gugl in the Froschberg district, a few kilometres from Linz Hauptbahnhof. Local buses serve the area with extra services on matchdays, and a taxi from the station is quick, while the walk is uphill and takes around half an hour or more. Parking near the ground fills early, so public transport is the simpler option.
Plan your return before you set off. The match finishes close to 23:00 local time on a Wednesday, and queues for buses build quickly after the final whistle. Many supporters spend the evening in the old town beforehand and head up the hill in the hour before kick-off.
Turnstiles open well before kick-off on European nights, and security searches can take time, so aim to be at your gate at least 45 minutes before the start. Your ticket shows which of the stadium's eight entrances to use, and choosing the right one saves a walk around the ground in the cold.

Linz has a small airport with limited international routes, so most overseas visitors fly into Vienna or Salzburg and continue by train, with fast rail links from both cities. Porto supporters often connect through a larger hub before continuing to Austria. Mobile and e-tickets are the simplest options from abroad; if a listing uses paper tickets, choose collection in Linz or delivery to your hotel.
UEFA has set the date and kick-off, but it is still wise to book flexible travel and accommodation, as hotel rooms in a city of Linz's size fill quickly for a major European night. Ask the seller before you buy if you need seats together for a group, and plan an overnight stay, since the match finishes late on a Wednesday. January in Upper Austria is cold and snow is possible, so pack warm layers for the evening.
LASK and Porto have never met in competitive football, so this match has no history to lean on. LASK arrive as newcomers to this stage: their best previous European run came in the 2019/20 Europa League, when they reached the round of 16 before losing to Manchester United, and their first Champions League campaign began with a 1-0 defeat away to AEK Athens on Matchday 1.
Porto bring a very different pedigree. The club won the European Cup in 1987 and the Champions League in 2004, and they remain one of the most regular participants in the competition from outside Europe's biggest leagues. Their campaign opened with a 2-0 home defeat to Manchester City, which means every point in the rounds that follow will count towards the final table.
For buyers, a first meeting has a clear appeal. There is no pattern of results to predict the outcome and no one-sided record to take the edge off, so the night will be decided entirely on the pitch. It is also the first time Porto's supporters will visit Linz, which gives the guest sector a real sense of occasion.
The contrast between the clubs is what makes this fixture distinctive. A debutant with a new stadium and a comeback story meets one of Europe's most experienced sides on the night the league phase is settled. For home supporters it is a chance to test themselves against genuine European royalty; for Porto it is a trip where anything less than a result would feel like a missed opportunity.
Whatever the table says by January, both clubs will want to finish their league phase on a high. LASK will be keen to prove their debut season was no one-off, while Porto will want to show why they remain one of the most consistent names in European football.
Yes. A verified resale listing lets you buy without club membership or waiting for a sales window.
No. All final-matchday games kick off together at 21:00 local time, so the slot is fixed.
Visiting fans use a segregated guest sector with its own entrance, sold through Porto's allocation.
Yes, the roof covers all four stands, which helps on a cold January night.
Vienna and Salzburg offer the most routes, with direct trains to Linz from both.
