Buy Athletic Bilbao vs Osasuna tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match listed for Sunday 7 February 2027 at 18:00. The La Liga fixture takes place at San Mamés, the 53,000-seat bowl on the banks of the Nervión that inherited the old ground's nickname, La Catedral. Few league games at the stadium draw a larger or louder away following, because Pamplona sits only a couple of hours down the road.

This is a northern neighbours' meeting between two clubs built on regional identity. Athletic Bilbao field players born or raised in the Basque Country, a policy more than a century old, while Osasuna carry the name and colours of Navarre. Both fan bases travel, both sing and both treat this game as more than three points.
This guide covers resale prices, the right areas of San Mamés for each type of buyer, how entry works and what every league meeting at the new stadium says about the fixture. Everything below is built to help you pick the right seat and complete your order with confidence.
Distance is the first factor. Pamplona is around 160 kilometres from Bilbao, one of the shortest away trips on the Osasuna calendar, so the visiting allocation fills quickly and many more supporters make the journey hoping to find seats elsewhere in the ground.
Osasuna bring one of the more vocal travelling supports in Spain. The club reached the Copa del Rey final in 2023 and its crowd at El Sadar is known for noise out of proportion to its size, a habit it carries on the road. A Sunday evening in Bilbao is an easy day trip by car or coach from Navarre.
The cup history adds edge. In April 2023 Osasuna knocked Athletic out of the Copa del Rey semi-final with a 1-1 draw after extra time at San Mamés, reaching the final on aggregate. Home supporters have not forgotten it, even though Athletic lifted the trophy themselves a year later.
San Mamés is a draw on its own. The new stadium opened in 2013 beside the site of the old ground, hosted the Europa League final in May 2025 and is almost always close to full. Socios, the club's members, take the majority of seats before any general sale begins.
The league record here is tight. Five of the eight meetings at the new San Mamés have been draws and Osasuna have lost only twice in Bilbao since 2016. A home crowd that expects to win and a visiting crowd that expects to frustrate make for a tense evening.
Timing helps too. Early February sits in the middle of the season, when both clubs know what the second half of the campaign requires. The first meeting of 2026/27 takes place at El Sadar in November, so this game settles the season series.
Athletic's own recent profile keeps demand high whoever the visitor. The club won the Copa del Rey in 2024 for the first time since 1984, reached the Europa League semi-finals in 2024/25 and followed that with a Champions League campaign in 2025/26. That run has turned occasional visitors into regulars and socios now hold on to their seats more tightly than they did a decade ago.
Yes, though the club route favours its own members. Socios and season ticket holders fill most of San Mamés and receive exclusive windows to buy extra seats, usually up to two each. Members of Club Athletic, the supporter programme, get the next pre-sale window.
General sale typically opens around two weeks before the match. For higher-demand fixtures buyers can face a virtual queue on the club website and by the time the public sale opens many of the central seats have already gone to members and their guests.
Club prices vary by opponent and area, ranging from around €30 to €240 per seat. The two-ticket limit per member means groups often struggle to sit together through club channels, which is where resale earns its place.
Resale listings at San Mamés often come from socios who cannot attend a particular match. The seat is usually passed on through the club's own transfer system, which is why a listing may state a deadline for the transfer rather than an instant delivery. That is normal and covered by the order protection.
Osasuna supporters buy through their own club. The visiting allocation is passed to Pamplona and distributed to members and regular travellers. Fans outside that group have little chance of an away seat and those who buy in home areas must follow home-section rules.
A verified resale marketplace removes the timing problem. You can secure specific seats weeks before general sale, choose blocks of adjacent places from the start and see the full price before paying, with buyer protection on every order.
Five factors drive resale prices for this match: seat location, overall demand, how close to the fixture you buy, what is at stake in the 2026/27 table by February and whether you choose hospitality. A large Navarre following lifts demand above a typical mid-table visit.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier ends (North and South) | £50 – £85 | Budget-conscious buyers | Steep and elevated with a full view of the pitch |
| Side stand standard | £70 – £120 | Pairs and neutrals | Balanced views and atmosphere along the touchline |
| Lower tier central | £95 – £160+ | Buyers who want to be close to the action | Gentle rake near the halfway line |
| Main Stand premium | £140 – £220+ | Tactical view and comfort | Central sightlines near the dugouts |
| Hospitality / VIP | £220 – £480+ | Corporate guests and occasions | VIP seats, SkyBox and premium packages |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The opponent sets the bracket. The Basque derby is the one home game that moves the market far above this level and Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad in November sits well above every figure in the table. The Osasuna visit lands in the band just below the big-name games.
Timing makes a difference. Resale supply tends to be widest in the weeks before general sale, when socios list seats they cannot use. Once the club's own sale opens, the lower-priced listings go quickly and Osasuna supporters looking for neutral seats add pressure in the final fortnight.
The kick-off slot also moves the market. La Liga confirms exact times a few weeks ahead and a Sunday evening slot draws more local demand than a Friday or Monday game. If either side is pushing for Europe by February, expect prices to firm up late.
Group size is the other variable. Pairs find better-value seats easily, while groups of four or more should buy early to keep seats together in the lower tier or the Main Stand.
San Mamés has four stands split into three tiers. The lower tier sits close to the pitch with a gentle rake, the middle tier holds executive boxes and lounges and the upper tier is steep with an elevated view. Study the San Mamés seating plan to see how the blocks sit before you choose.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singing section (lower tier behind the goal) | Home fans who want to stand and sing | Lower to mid | Safe-standing area of around 4,000 places; Athletic colours only |
| Main Stand | Buyers who want a premium central view | Upper | Near the dugouts and premium areas |
| Side stands | Neutrals and pairs | Mid | Balanced views with plenty of atmosphere |
| North and South upper tiers | Budget buyers and groups | Lower | Steep, elevated and loud |
| Away section (south-east corner) | Osasuna supporters | Set by the visiting club | Separated from the home support; red and navy belongs here only |
| Accessible positions | Wheelchair users and companions | Varies | Areas with barrier-free access; confirm the position before paying |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should choose the side stands or the Main Stand and avoid the singing section. Osasuna supporters who end up in home areas should leave club colours, flags and songs for the away corner, since stewards will move anyone whose colours cause friction.
The three-tier design gives every section a clear view. The upper tiers behind the goals are steep, which keeps even the highest seats close to the play, while the lower tier puts you almost level with the players. General admission buyers choose between lower and upper, since the middle tier is reserved for boxes and lounges.
The roof covers the stands, so February rain in Bilbao is less of a factor than at many Spanish grounds. Front rows of the lower tier can still catch wind-blown drizzle, so a few rows back is the safer choice on a wet evening. The San Mamés Stadium listing shows which areas have stock across the season.
For the full effect of a Navarre visit, sit within sight of the away corner. The exchange between the singing section and the travelling support is part of what makes this fixture louder than its league position might suggest.
Visiting supporters who could not get into the away corner should aim for the upper tiers rather than the lower tier near the singing section. Home fans in the upper rows are generally relaxed about neutral-looking visitors and the elevated view makes it easier to follow the game without drawing attention.
Families and first-time visitors do well in the side stands, where the atmosphere is full but the standing and chanting of the singing section is at a distance. Upper side-stand seats also give children a clear view over the rows in front, which matters in a lower tier where everyone stands for the big moments.
Athletic run a well-developed hospitality programme in the middle tier, with executive boxes, lounges and VIP seating. The club promotes Basque food as a central part of its premium offer, which is a real highlight in a city known for its cooking.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| VIP tickets | Couples and small groups | Basque catering with preferential seating |
| SkyBox | Companies hosting clients | A private box in the middle tier |
| The Lion Experience | Special occasions and first-time visitors | A premium matchday package built around the club's identity |
| Matchday package | Visitors building a weekend in Bilbao | One booking covering seats, hospitality and extras |
Pre-match dining is at the heart of the premium offer and a relaxed meal before an 18:00 kick-off is one of the pleasures of a Bilbao Sunday. Arrive early to make the most of it. Smart casual clothing is the safe choice for most hospitality areas.
Hospitality also suits mixed groups. Guests who are not football fans still enjoy the food and the view across a full bowl, which makes it a popular choice for business entertaining. For resale packages, confirm the named product, the food and drink included and the arrival time, since descriptions vary between listings.
Places are limited for a Sunday fixture with a large away following, because local businesses and visiting groups from Navarre both book early. If a lounge experience matters to you, secure it in the autumn rather than waiting for the final month.
Athletic issue digital tickets by email and fans can show them on a phone at the gate without printing. On the resale market, the delivery method attached to each listing tells you how and when your seats will arrive.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile tickets | Which app or email account the tickets arrive in and when |
| E-tickets (PDF) | Whether you need to print them and how barcodes are issued |
| Socio seat transfer | Whether a member's seat is transferred to you for the match and by what deadline |
| Local collection | The meeting point near the stadium, the time window and the contact name |
Read the listing notes before you pay, bring valid photo ID and charge your phone fully for mobile entry. Open live tickets in their app rather than relying on screenshots.
Getting there is easy. San Mamés has its own metro station on the edge of the stadium and the ground is around a 20-minute walk from the city centre along the river. Bilbao airport is roughly 20 minutes away by road, with regular buses into town.
Arrive early for the build-up. The streets around the stadium, especially Pozas, fill with fans in the bars before kick-off and on an Osasuna Sunday the red of Navarre mixes with the red and white of Athletic along the way. Queues at the turnstiles build in the final half hour, so keep bags small and aim to be inside the ground well before the teams come out to warm up.
After the final whistle, the metro runs extra services from San Mamés station, but the first half hour is busy. Walking back towards the old town along the river is often quicker and a pleasant way to end the evening.
Do not worry if your tickets arrive late in the week. Seats transferred from socios are often released only in the days before the match, so a delivery window close to kick-off is normal. Your order confirmation states the expected timing.

Bilbao airport has direct flights from London and many other European cities and the bus into the centre takes around 20 minutes. Visitors can also fly into Madrid for a domestic connection, or reach Bilbao by road from San Sebastián, Biarritz or Pamplona. Ordering from abroad is simplest with mobile or e-ticket delivery and groups should request seats together in a single order.
La Liga can move matches within the weekend once broadcast picks are made, so avoid non-refundable travel with tight connections until the kick-off time is fixed. The Guggenheim Museum sits a short walk along the river from San Mamés, the Casco Viejo is packed with pintxo bars and a Sunday match fits neatly into a weekend of food and football. If you want to add another game to the trip, you can browse football tickets across Europe for the same dates.
The new San Mamés was not quite ready when Osasuna first visited Athletic in the 2013/14 season. The opening home game of that campaign, a 2-0 Athletic win over Osasuna in August 2013, was played at Anoeta in San Sebastián while construction finished. The first league meeting at the new stadium had to wait until October 2016, when the sides drew 1-1.
Since then the fixture has been defined by stalemate. Osasuna won 1-0 in February 2020, Athletic's first win over them at the new ground only came in May 2022 and five of the eight meetings have ended level, including back-to-back 2-2 draws in 2021 and 2024. Athletic won 1-0 in April 2026, the most recent meeting in Bilbao. The first game of this season is at El Sadar in November, with seats available for Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao before the return here in February.
The cup history sits alongside the league record. In the 2022/23 Copa del Rey semi-final, Osasuna won the first leg 1-0 at El Sadar in March, then held Athletic to a 1-1 draw after extra time at San Mamés in April to reach their second final. It remains the most painful home night against Osasuna for Athletic supporters in the new stadium.
What makes the fixture distinctive is how rarely either side pulls clear. Athletic have the bigger crowd and the stronger recent record in the league, yet Osasuna have left San Mamés with at least a point in six of eight visits. Add the 2023 cup semi-final, when the Navarre side went through in extra time in Bilbao and every Osasuna visit carries a reminder that this is a hard game to win.
The two clubs also share a style of support. Both crowds see their club as a symbol of a region as much as a football team and both stands keep the noise going for 90 minutes. That shared intensity is why the fixture feels bigger in the ground than it looks on the fixture list. For a neutral visitor, it is one of the more authentic Sunday evenings in Spanish football, with two sets of supporters who both know every word.
The figures below cover every La Liga meeting at the current San Mamés (opened September 2013) with Athletic as hosts, from 2016/17 to 2025/26. The August 2013 meeting played at Anoeta and all cup ties, including the 2023 Copa del Rey semi-final, are excluded.
