Ferencvarosi Tickets

Ferencváros also run one of the strictest entry systems in European football. Almost every seat at the Groupama Aréna is tied to a personal supporter card that is registered in person with photo ID, so planning ahead matters. This guide covers how the card works, what you can expect to pay, where to sit, the hospitality options that sit outside the card system and the matchday routine at Üllői út.

More Routes In When Club Channels Close

Ferencváros sell most seats through their own ticket office and online system, and season ticket holders take a large share of the stadium before single-match sales open. Routine league games rarely sell out. Matches against Újpest, title deciders and European nights against clubs such as Juventus are a different story, and the prime seats can be committed well before the general public has a chance.

A marketplace offers a second route in. Supporters whose plans change, groups who no longer need every seat and hospitality guests who cannot attend all create availability after club sales have closed. Comparing listings by section and price lets you pick the seat that fits your trip rather than accepting whatever the last batch happens to be.

At Ferencváros that route comes with conditions you should understand before you buy. Standard tickets are held against a named supporter card number, and the club allows a ticket to be moved to another card holder's name free of charge until the working day before the match. Transfers on matchday are not possible. In practice, you will usually need your own Ferencváros supporter card, and its number, before a standard seat can be passed to you. Hospitality sectors work differently and are sold without a supporter card, which is why many visitors choose them.

What Fills the Groupama Aréna

The Groupama Aréna holds around 23,700 for domestic games and slightly fewer for UEFA matches, when standing areas are converted and stricter seating rules apply. Ferencváros won seven league titles in a row between 2019 and 2025, and that run turned European football into an annual expectation rather than an occasional treat.

Demand moves with the calendar and the opponent. Some drivers return every year, while others depend on the draw and the title race.

• European nights. Ferencváros have played group or league phase football in Europe almost every season since 2019. In 2026/27 the Europa League brings Juventus, Celje and Torreense to Budapest, and nights against famous Western European clubs typically draw the season's largest crowds.
• The Újpest derby. Fradi against Újpest is Hungary's fiercest fixture and regularly one of the most heavily attended league games of the year. The match is heavily policed and season ticket holders rarely miss it.
• A title race to win back. After Győr ended the seven-year run of titles in 2025/26, the push to reclaim the championship gives every league game a sharper edge.
• The B-közép. The standing home end behind the goal is one of the most famous terraces in Central Europe, with choreographies, flags and constant noise that attract groundhoppers from across the continent.
• Budapest's tourist pull. The city is among the most visited in Europe, and a growing number of visitors add a Fradi match to a city break. Weekend evening kick-offs in spring and autumn attract more of these buyers.
• Cup football. As the record holders of the Hungarian Cup, Ferencváros treat the Magyar Kupa seriously, and later rounds at home can attract strong crowds.
• Historic rivals. Matches against MTK, the oldest rivalry in Hungarian football, and against Honvéd carry decades of history and draw bigger crowds than the league table alone would suggest.
• The supporter card itself. Because standard tickets require a registered card, many casual visitors look for hospitality seats, which do not. That concentrates demand on a limited number of premium places.

For buyers, routine league games against lower-ranked sides usually offer the widest choice and the lowest prices, while derbies and European nights can move quickly once dates are confirmed. If one of those games is the reason for your trip, compare listings early and leave time to sort out your supporter card.

What You'll Pay and Why

Face values at the Groupama Aréna are low by Western European standards. The club publishes league prices in categories, from around 3,900 forints in the ultras area to about 9,900 forints for the top category, with a separate family price and an extra handling fee for matchday purchases. A supporter card adds a small one-off registration fee on top.

Resale prices sit well above those figures for two reasons. Listings are typically for fixtures that have sold through club channels, and they are priced by demand rather than by the club's category. The opponent matters most: a visit from a lower-ranked side sits near the bottom of the range, while Újpest and European visitors push prices sharply higher.

Location and timing add further layers. Central seats along the touchlines cost more than corner seats, and hospitality bundles food, drink and a premium seat into one price. In the 2026/27 season, the period after fixture dates are confirmed tends to bring the widest spread of listings, while the final days before kick-off can swing either way depending on how much stock remains.

Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.

Inside the stadium, prices are in Hungarian forints and bank cards are widely accepted at kiosks and at the ticket office. If you are registering a supporter card on matchday, remember the small extra fee, and allow for the handling charge that applies to tickets bought on the day. Buying in GBP through 1BoxOffice keeps the cost of the seat itself clear before you travel.

Can You Buy Ferencváros Tickets Without Membership?

You do not need a paid membership, but for standard seats you do need a Ferencváros supporter card. The card is compulsory for everyone over the age of six who enters the stadium outside the hospitality sectors. It is issued in person at the Groupama Aréna ticket office, at Üllői út 129, or at the club's container office at Népliget, and it costs a small one-off fee, slightly more on matchday.

Registration takes a few minutes. Bring a passport or national ID card, fill in the information form and have your photo taken. There are two card types: the standard card, which covers every sector and includes a vein scan at registration, and a second type that covers a limited group of sectors. The ticket office is open from Tuesday to Saturday, with hours adjusted on matchdays, and it is closed on Sundays and Mondays, so time your visit carefully if you arrive in Budapest just before a game.

Once you have a card, a standard ticket can be transferred into your name using your card number until the working day before the match. If you are buying through 1BoxOffice, get your card first, keep the number to hand and read each listing's delivery notes so you know when the transfer will happen. Hospitality sectors are sold without a supporter card, which makes them the simplest option for visitors who cannot register in advance.

For a weekend visit, the most practical plan is to arrive in Budapest by Friday, register at the stadium ticket office that day or on Saturday morning and share your card number with your order straight away. The club's container office at Népliget also registers cards on weekday afternoons. If your trip only allows a Sunday arrival before a Sunday match, a hospitality seat is likely to be the safer choice.

The Bérlet Culture at Fradi

In Hungary a season ticket is a bérlet, and at Ferencváros it is the backbone of the home crowd. Bérlet holders occupy a large share of the stadium for every league game, and the club sells separate packages for European football, including a four-match bérlet covering the Europa League home fixtures. Season tickets are sold at the ticket office in several categories, each linked to the holder's supporter card.

Holders who cannot attend a match can transfer their seat to another card holder for a single game for a small fee, again until the working day before the match. That flexibility is one of the main ways seats become available after club sales close, and it means most bérlet seats are filled by someone on matchday.

Where to Sit at the Groupama Aréna

The Groupama Aréna is a compact, steep stadium with four stands joined into a single bowl. The pitch was rotated 90 degrees compared with the old ground to meet UEFA requirements, and the roof keeps the noise of the B-közép inside. Different sectors are open to different card types, so check that your listing matches your card before you buy.

Following Ferencváros on the Road

Fradi have one of the largest travelling followings in Hungary, and with most NB I grounds within a few hours of Budapest, away days are a big part of supporter culture. European campaigns take the green and white across the continent, and the 2026/27 Europa League includes trips to Milan, Glasgow, Poznań and Sinsheim. Allocations are set by the host club and distributed by Ferencváros through their own system.

Domestic trips follow a familiar rhythm. Debrecen, Győr, Paks and Székesfehérvár are straightforward journeys from the capital, and Budapest derbies require nothing more than a metro ride. On the European stage, Fradi supporters have built a reputation for travelling in large numbers, and the club typically gives priority to season ticket holders and regular supporters for allocations. If you plan to follow the team abroad, check the host club's entry rules closely, because personalised tickets and ID checks are standard across European competition.

Matching the Seat to the Matchday You Want

The right seat depends on why you are going. A visitor on a city break wants something different from a groundhopper ticking off Hungarian football or a group entertaining clients, and the Groupama Aréna has an option for each.

The Groupama Aréna Experience

Ferencváros have played on Üllői út since 1911, when the club opened its first stadium in the heart of the ninth district. That ground, later rebuilt and named after the club's greatest player, Flórián Albert, became one of the most famous addresses in Hungarian football. In 2013 work began on a completely new stadium on the same site, and the Groupama Aréna opened on 10 August 2014 with a friendly against Chelsea. Two weeks later Ferencváros beat Nyíregyháza 3–1 in the first league match at the new ground.

The new arena is compact, modern and enclosed, with steep stands, a roof over every seat and a capacity of around 23,700 for domestic games. For UEFA matches the capacity drops to around 22,000 because standing areas are converted to seating. The main building rises four floors and houses VIP lounges, offices and the Fradi Museum, which opened alongside the stadium and tells the club's story from 1899 to the present. Guided tours cover the tunnel, dressing rooms, benches, press room and VIP areas.

The supporter card system has a history of its own. When the new stadium opened with vein-scan registration, many regulars protested against the security measures and league attendances fell sharply in the first season. Crowds recovered as the title-winning team took shape and European football returned, and today the card is simply part of the matchday routine for local supporters.

The atmosphere comes from the B-közép, the standing home end behind one goal. On big nights it produces choreographies across the whole stand, and the noise rolls around the enclosed bowl. Security at the Groupama Aréna is strict, with stewards enforcing sector rules and keeping gangways clear, but the result is an intense, well-organised matchday that many visitors rate highly among grounds in the region.

Getting there is simple. The stadium sits at Üllői út 129 in Budapest's ninth district, about 3km south-east of the city centre. Metro line 3, the blue line, runs to Népliget station right next to the stadium in a few stops from the centre. Many regulars get off one stop earlier at Nagyvárad tér, a five-minute walk away, to avoid the crowds. Tram 1 also serves Népliget, and walking from the centre takes around 40 minutes.

Driving is possible, with an underground garage beneath the main building and car parks nearby, but spaces go quickly on matchday and the surrounding roads are busy. Public transport is the better choice for most visitors, especially for evening European games when traffic around Népliget builds early.

The area around the stadium is busy and residential, with Népliget park and bus station on one side and the long Üllői út boulevard on the other. Most visitors eat and drink in the centre first and take the metro out. Inside the ground, food and drink kiosks serve Hungarian staples, and the Fradi shop is worth a visit before kick-off.

Planning a matchday around a Budapest city break is straightforward. League games are usually played at weekends, often in the evening, while Europa League matches take place on Thursday evenings. The metro and tram network runs late enough to get back to the centre after most kick-offs. If you need a supporter card, plan your trip so you arrive on a day when the ticket office is open, because it is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Matchday With the Extras

Ferencváros offer a range of VIP and corporate options in the main building, and these sectors are sold without the supporter card requirement that applies to the rest of the stadium. That makes hospitality the most practical choice for many international visitors, as well as the most comfortable way to see a big European night.

Packages typically combine a padded seat with views across the pitch, lounge access before kick-off and at half-time, food and drink and a separate entrance. The club's top sectors include the Telekom and VIP Gold areas, and corporate packages can be arranged for groups. Availability for Europa League matches against high-profile opponents is far tighter than for league games.

Prices reflect typical resale ranges where listed and may change as demand and availability shift.

From Search to Seat in Eight Steps

Buying through 1BoxOffice follows the same path for a Europa League night as for a league game. At Ferencváros the most important preparation is deciding between a standard seat, which needs a supporter card, and a hospitality seat, which does not.

Most matchday problems at Fradi come from timing rather than seats. Register your supporter card early, remember that name transfers close on the working day before the match and carry the same photo ID you used to register.
