Buy Real Betis vs Como FC tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Champions League league phase fixture set for Wednesday 9 December 2026 and kick-off currently listed at 18:45. The venue is Estadio La Cartuja in Seville, the 70,000-seat bowl serving as Betis' temporary home. Two clubs with almost no European history against each other meet for the first time on a winter night in Andalusia.

The occasion is unusual for both. Betis are in the Champions League for only the second time, more than twenty years after their single previous campaign, while Como are making their debut in the competition. Supporters following Real Betis this season are watching something the club has waited a generation to repeat.
Demand is shaped by that scarcity. European nights of this level come around rarely in Seville and a ground of 70,000 still fills with season ticket holders and members before general sale opens. The league phase schedule is confirmed in stages, so the listed kick-off time can still move.
Betis supporters treat these fixtures as events rather than routine matches. The club last played in the Champions League proper in 2005/06, when the campaign ended at the group stage, so a generation of fans has grown up without one. That backlog of interest turns even a fixture against an unfamiliar opponent into a sell-out risk.
The visitors add their own pull. Como FC have climbed from the lower reaches of Italian football to the Champions League in little more than a decade and their first European campaign has drawn attention well beyond Lake Como. Travelling numbers for a debut season tend to be strong.
The setting matters too. La Cartuja was expanded and reshaped for football before Betis moved in, with a new lower tier built over the old athletics track, so the ground now holds around 70,000 and offers far better sightlines than it did as a pure athletics venue. A full house here is a genuine spectacle.
December timing works in the fixture's favour. A midweek European night in Seville sits in a mild winter climate by northern European standards, which makes the trip attractive for visiting fans and neutrals planning a short break. Flights into Seville from across Europe are plentiful.
For buyers, the practical result is straightforward. Betis will fill most of the stadium through their own routes, the away allocation is limited and the seats that reach the open market do so early. Leave this one late and the choice narrows to whatever is left at the top of the price range.
Seville is also a football city with two big clubs and a fierce local rivalry, which keeps standards of support high all season. Betis fans are known across Spain for filling their ground whatever the competition and European fixtures bring out flags, banners and a level of noise that visiting supporters tend to remember.
Yes, though the club route favours its own supporters. Betis sell European matches to season ticket holders and club members first and remaining seats go on general sale closer to the date. For a Champions League night, that pool can be small.
Season ticket holders occupy a large share of La Cartuja. Their seats only return to circulation when a holder releases them, which is why the better central areas are harder to find than the headline capacity suggests. Buyers without a season ticket usually end up choosing between the upper tier and the ends.
A verified resale marketplace removes the dependence on sale windows set in Spanish time. You can pick the area you want, see the price up front and buy without joining a club scheme. For overseas fans planning flights and hotels, that certainty is worth a great deal.
Groups gain the most. Club sales often cap the number of seats per account, which makes it hard to keep four or six people together. Marketplace listings show how many seats sit side by side, so you can book for the group in one go.
Como supporters have a separate route through their own club, which receives the away allocation for the match. Visiting fans who miss that allocation should buy only listings that confirm seats inside the away section, as segregation at European fixtures is strict.
The move to La Cartuja has changed the picture slightly in buyers' favour. The temporary home holds more people than the club's own ground, so there are more seats in circulation than there would be in a normal season. That extra capacity does not make a European night easy to attend, but it does widen the choice at the lower end.
Five things shape the price for this match. Seat location comes first, with the new lower tier along the sides at the top of the range. Demand follows and a Champions League night in Seville sits well above a standard league fixture.
Timing matters as well: prices move as the 2026/27 league phase unfolds and the kick-off time is confirmed. Competition context counts, because European nights against the bigger names, such as Real Betis vs Arsenal, price higher than a first meeting with a debutant. Finally, the hospitality tier you choose sets its own bracket.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Segundo Anfiteatro (upper tier) | £70 – £120 | Budget-minded buyers | The most distant tier, but a clear view of the whole pitch |
| Gol Norte or Gol Sur | £75 – £140 | Fans who want atmosphere behind the goal | Where the noisiest home support gathers |
| Primer Anfiteatro | £100 – £180 | Buyers who want an elevated side-on view | A sound middle ground between price and position |
| Grada Baja, central | £150 – £300+ | Fans who want to be close to the pitch | The new lower ring, only a few metres from the touchline |
| Hospitality / VIP | £350 – £700+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Catering and lounge access with a premium seat; packages vary |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Listings for this fixture have opened from around £69 on the marketplace, which gives a sense of the entry point. Prices climb from there as the better areas sell and the date approaches.
La Cartuja was built as an athletics stadium in the late 1990s and reshaped for football before Betis moved in, with a new lower ring added over the old track. The Estadio La Cartuja seating plan shows how the rings and ends are arranged.
For the wider matchday picture, from the history of the ground to getting there on the day, see our guide to Estadio La Cartuja. It pairs well with the seat advice below.
The ground is a large oval divided into three levels. The Grada Baja is the new lower ring closest to the pitch, the Primer Anfiteatro sits above it and the Segundo Anfiteatro forms the upper ring. The Gol Norte and Gol Sur ends hold the most vocal home support, while the Preferencia side carries the premium seating.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grada Baja, central | Buyers who want to be close to the action | Upper | Only a few metres from the touchline; the pick of the ground |
| Grada Baja, corners and ends | Fans who want closeness at a lower price | Middle to upper | Same ring, sharper angle on the far goal |
| Primer Anfiteatro | Neutrals who like to read the game | Middle | Elevated view of both penalty areas |
| Segundo Anfiteatro | Budget buyers and groups | Lower | The most distant tier, so bring a coat for an evening kick-off |
| Gol Norte or Gol Sur | Fans who want noise and flags | Lower to middle | Behind the goals among home supporters; Betis colours or neutral clothing |
| Away section | Como supporters | Middle | A designated section set for each fixture, with its own entry; Como colours only here |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for the Primer Anfiteatro or the side sections of the Grada Baja. Both avoid the colours question that comes with the ends and give a fair view of both teams. If you are travelling with Como supporters, buy inside the away section rather than a neighbouring home block.
The size of the bowl is the main thing first-time visitors notice. Rows near the back of the upper ring sit a long way from the pitch, so paying a little more for the Primer Anfiteatro or the lower ring changes the experience more here than at a compact ground.
Weather is a factor for a December kick-off. Seville is mild by northern European standards, but evenings in an open bowl can turn cold once the sun has gone, so bring a jacket whichever tier you choose.
Accessible places are allocated separately from standard seats. If you or a member of your group needs one, confirm with the listing notes before paying that the seat suits your needs, including space for a companion.
One more point for first-time visitors: the ground sits on an island in the north of the city rather than in a residential neighbourhood, so the matchday build-up is centred on the stadium approaches rather than a strip of local bars. Plan to eat in the centre before travelling out, or allow time for the concourses inside.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seat package | Couples and small groups | A padded central seat with lounge access before the match |
| VIP lounge | Business guests | Catering and drinks in an indoor space with a reserved seat outside |
| Private box | Client entertaining and celebrations | A self-contained space for a group with its own service |
| European night package | Visitors marking a special occasion | Hospitality built around the bigger fixtures on the calendar |
Hospitality arrangements at La Cartuja are set by the club for each match, so inclusions vary between fixtures and tiers. Confirm what food, drink and parking are covered before you commit and note the earlier arrival time that most packages require.
For a midweek European night, hospitality has a practical upside. You spend the build-up indoors with food and drink rather than queueing on a busy concourse, then take your seat shortly before kick-off. For a fixture as scarce as this one, it can also be a surer route into the ground.
Premium areas at a stadium this size are limited relative to the overall capacity. If hospitality is the plan, allow more lead time than you would for a standard seat.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF) | That the file displays clearly and matches the seat described in the listing |
| Mobile ticket | That the transfer opens on your phone and shows in the correct app before matchday |
| Paper ticket by courier | That your delivery address is correct and someone can sign for the envelope |
| Collection in Seville | The meeting point, collection window and contact details in your order confirmation |
Read the listing notes before you pay, since they show the delivery method and any restriction on the seat. Bring valid photo ID on matchday in case stewards ask for it and charge your phone fully if you are using a mobile ticket.
Tickets for European fixtures are often released to sellers close to matchday, so do not worry if yours arrive in the final week. Your order stays covered throughout and the delivery timeline appears in your confirmation email.
La Cartuja sits on Isla de la Cartuja in the north of the city, away from the historic centre. For Betis matches the usual route is the Metro to Blas Infante and then the shuttle bus that runs frequently to the ground, while the Cercanías C-2 line reaches Estadio Olímpico station nearby. Parking is limited, so public transport is the easier choice.
Expect a search at the entrance. Large bags and rucksacks may be refused and there is no guarantee of a bag store, so travel light and allow time to clear the gates before kick-off.
Give yourself plenty of time on the way out as well. Crowds of this size clear slowly from a single transport corridor and the shuttle buses and trains back into Seville are busy for a good while after the final whistle. Many supporters simply walk part of the way to thin out the queues.

Value is not only about the lowest number on the screen. In a bowl this size, a seat in the middle ring at a fair price gives a better night than the back row of the upper tier for a little less. Set a budget first, then pick the area that gives you the most for it.
It also helps to watch how the league phase develops. If both clubs go into December needing points to stay in the qualification places, interest rises and prices follow, while an early exit from contention can soften the market.
Overseas buyers have plenty of choice on delivery. E-tickets and mobile transfers suit anyone flying in the day before the match, while courier delivery works best if you have a fixed home address and time to spare. Seville Airport sits a short drive from the city and handles flights from across Europe, with Malaga a longer but well-connected alternative.
Seats together are easier to secure early, so groups should not wait for the last week. Keep your travel plans flexible where you can, as European kick-off times are confirmed in stages and a midweek fixture can land on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Refundable hotel rates and later flight booking reduce that risk.
Seville rewards a longer stay. The cathedral, the Alcázar and the tapas bars of Santa Cruz are within walking distance of each other and a European night pairs neatly with a weekend league game such as Real Betis vs Barcelona when the calendar allows.
Como supporters making the trip should plan the return carefully. A late midweek kick-off leaves little margin for early flights the next morning, so an extra night in Seville is usually the easier option. Trains and buses run into the city centre from the stadium area after matches, but they fill quickly.
These clubs have never met in a competitive match. Betis have spent most of their European life in the Europa League and its predecessors, while Como's history has been played out almost entirely inside Italy, so there is no shared record to draw on. Everything about this tie is new, which is part of its appeal.
Betis bring the deeper pedigree at this level, though only just. Their single previous Champions League campaign came in 2005/06, when they beat Chelsea 1-0 at home, lost 2-1 to Liverpool in Seville and went out at the group stage. Since then the club's European nights have come in the Europa League and the Conference League, including a run to the 2025 Conference League final and a Europa League quarter-final last season, which set up this return to the top competition as Spain's fifth-placed side.
That history matters for the atmosphere more than the football. Betis supporters have waited more than twenty years for another Champions League campaign and the club's move to La Cartuja means the crowd for these nights is larger than anything the Benito Villamarín could hold. Expect a full, loud stadium regardless of the opponent's profile.
Como arrive with no Champions League history at all. This is their debut in the competition, earned through a Serie A campaign that capped one of the fastest climbs in recent European football, from the lower divisions of Italian football to a place among the continent's elite in little over a decade. The club's owners have backed that rise with heavy investment in the squad.
For Como's supporters, every away trip this season is a first. That tends to produce strong travelling numbers and a party atmosphere in the away section and it is one reason the visiting allocation for this match is likely to be taken up in full. A debut campaign also means a squad still learning what European away nights demand, which adds to the uncertainty around the result.
The result matters for both. The league phase rewards consistency across eight matches and fixtures between sides outside the traditional favourites often decide who reaches the knockout places. For a buyer, that makes a December meeting between two clubs with something to prove more competitive than the names alone suggest.
Buying soon after the kick-off time is confirmed usually gives the widest choice before travelling fans and neutrals take the remaining seats.
The club moved there in 2025 as a temporary home while the Benito Villamarin is redeveloped and the works are due to run into 2027.
The Grada Baja, the lower ring added over the old athletics track, puts you within a few metres of the touchline.
The usual route for Betis matches is the Metro to Blas Infante and the shuttle bus, or the Cercanias C-2 train to Estadio Olimpico.
Yes, buyers from any country can order and e-tickets or mobile transfers are the simplest choice if you are flying in close to matchday.
