This is a Madrid derby of a different kind. Getafe sit just south of the capital. Their visits to Atletico's home have become one of the most predictable dates on the calendar for the hosts. For supporters of Atletico Madrid, the record speaks for itself: nine La Liga meetings at the Metropolitano since it opened in 2017, without a single home defeat.
That does not mean the afternoon is a formality. Getafe have scored three goals in two of the last five meetings here. A March fixture with European places on the line gives both sides plenty to play for.
The Riyadh Air Metropolitano holds 70,692, one of the largest grounds in Spain. Recent meetings with Getafe have drawn crowds close to 60,000, including 60,169 in December 2024 and 58,893 in March 2026, which shows how strongly local fans turn out even for the smaller Madrid derby.
Those numbers have grown with the stadium's history. The first meeting here in January 2018 drew 47,023, the two games of 2019 both passed 55,000 and the December 2020 meeting was played behind closed doors. Since crowds returned, every Getafe visit has drawn well over 45,000.
Atletico's membership base takes a large share of the ground before match tickets are released. Members have priority for single-match sales, while the general sale that follows tends to move fastest in the central sideline blocks and the middle tier.
Getafe bring a short-distance travelling support. The club is based in the south of the Community of Madrid, so the trip to the Metropolitano is one of the easiest away days of their season. Their allocation sits high in an upper corner of the ground.
The two sides first meet in November at the Coliseum, where Getafe vs Atletico Madrid will set the tone for the return in March. A Getafe win there would give the visitors fresh belief heading to a ground where they have never won in La Liga.
European football keeps the city busy. Atletico are in the Champions League this season. Members chasing seats for those nights compete for league tickets too.
Getafe have their own continental run in the Conference League, so both clubs have midweek commitments that can shape the final kick-off slot for matchday 29.
Yes. Atletico sell match tickets to the general public after members have had their priority window. A fixture against Getafe is more accessible than the derby with Real Madrid or a Champions League night. The catch is timing: the better-value sideline seats go quickly once general sale opens.
Members still hold the advantage. Season ticket holders occupy much of the ground, while members get the first chance at whatever is released for each match. By the time the general public joins, the remaining choice is often in the upper tier or the ends.
Identification may be checked against the ticket at some La Liga fixtures, so make sure the name on your booking matches the listing's instructions before you travel.
Getafe supporters face a different route. The away allocation is sold through Getafe's own channels, so visiting fans who want to sit with their own crowd should buy only listings in the away section. Home areas are no place for Getafe blue on matchday.
Buying through 1BoxOffice removes the need for a membership or a race against the general sale. You choose the tier, the position and the number of seats, then compare prices across verified sellers. The same buyer protection applies whether you buy months ahead or in the final week.
Five things drive the price of a seat for this fixture. Location comes first, with the central middle tier of the west Tribuna at the top of the scale and the upper ends at the bottom. Demand follows and rises in the final fortnight, while timing matters too: a Sunday evening in March sells faster than a midweek game in winter. The 2026/27 run-in adds pressure, with hospitality sitting in a separate price band altogether.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier, ends and corners | £60 – £100 | Budget buyers and first-time visitors | High and steep, but the roofed bowl keeps the view clear |
| Upper tier, sideline | £75 – £130 | Couples and small groups | A full tactical view from height at a fair price |
| Lower tier, sideline | £110 – £190+ | Buyers who want to be close to the pitch | Near the touchline with no running track in the way |
| Middle tier, west Tribuna | £180 – £320+ | Special occasions and gifts | Central premium seats with lounge access, sell early |
| Hospitality and skyboxes | £300 – £650+ | Corporate guests and celebrations | Private boxes or premium lounges with catering |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Getafe is not one of the highest-demand visitors to the Metropolitano, which makes it one of the better-value La Liga dates of the season for neutral buyers. Prices still climb in the final week for central seats, so buying once the kick-off time is fixed usually gives the widest choice at fair prices.
Compared with the derby against Real Madrid or a Champions League night, a Getafe visit is one of the more affordable ways to see Atletico at home. The same seat in the middle tier can cost a fraction of its derby price, which makes this a strong fixture for a first visit to the ground.
The Riyadh Air Metropolitano is a continuous three-tier bowl with no running track and a roof over the seating, so every seat sits close to the play and stays dry. The west Tribuna carries the premium seats and the skyboxes on its middle tier, the east side faces it across the pitch, the Fondo Sur behind one goal is the home ultras end and the Fondo Norte sits behind the other. The Riyadh Air Metropolitano seating plan breaks down every section if you want to compare positions in detail.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fondo Sur, lower tier | Home fans who want to stand and sing | Lower to mid-range | The ultras end. Expect flags, songs and ninety minutes on your feet |
| West Tribuna, middle tier | A clear tactical view and comfort | Upper | Central premium seats with the dugouts below and lounge access |
| East side, lower and middle tiers | Side-on view at a fairer price | Mid-range | A strong all-round option for neutral visitors and families |
| Upper tier, sideline | Value and a panoramic angle | Lower to mid-range | High above the pitch with a full view of the shape of the game |
| Fondo Norte | Behind-the-goal view on a budget | Lower | The quieter end, away from the visiting section |
| Away section, upper corner | Getafe supporters only | Lower | Segregated block high in the south-east corner. Getafe blue belongs here and nowhere else in the ground |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for the east side or the upper sideline and keep club colours out of sight. Getafe blue will stand out anywhere outside the away section, while red and white is the safe choice in every home area. For a first visit, the middle of the east side gives a central view at a fairer price than the west Tribuna. You can compare live listings for other matches at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano if your travel dates are flexible.
The ground has had three names since it opened in 2017: the Wanda Metropolitano, then the Civitas Metropolitano and now the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Listings and older guides may use any of the three, but they all refer to the same stadium in the east of Madrid.
Height is the main variable inside the bowl. The lower tier puts you close to the touchline with a flatter angle, the middle tier gives the cleanest tactical view and the upper tier rises steeply for the widest picture of the game. If you want atmosphere, look at the Fondo Sur; if you want comfort and a central view, look at the middle tier on either side.
Atletico's premium seating is concentrated on the middle tier of the west Tribuna, where the skyboxes and premium seats sit above the dugouts. Every hospitality product shares the central longside view, so it suits buyers who value comfort over the noise of the Fondo Sur.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Skyboxes | Corporate groups and private parties | A private box on the west middle tier with catering and a central view |
| Premium lounge seats | Guests marking a special occasion | Central seats with lounge access and food before and after the match |
| Business seats | Business guests and regular visitors | Padded seats in the west Tribuna with shared lounge access |
| Premium sideline seats | Couples and small groups stepping up | A central middle-tier view without the full dining package |
Hospitality for a Getafe visit usually has more availability than for the derby with Real Madrid or a Champions League night, which can mean better choice for buyers who plan a few weeks out. Packages still sell well ahead of a Sunday kick-off, so book once the time is confirmed.
Inclusions vary from one product to the next, from the menu to arrival times and any dress guidance, so read the listing in full before you travel. For a larger group, a skybox keeps everyone together and makes the cost easier to justify per head once food and drink are included.
Delivery depends on how the seller holds the ticket. Mobile and print-at-home tickets are the most common formats at La Liga grounds, though some listings still use paper or matchday collection. Whatever the format, the listing tells you what to expect and when.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile tickets via an app | That you have downloaded the app, logged in with the email used for transfer and accepted the ticket before matchday |
| E-tickets (PDF or QR code) | That the code is clear on screen or printed, with one code per person |
| Paper tickets by courier | A delivery address where someone can sign, plus your hotel details if you travel early |
| Matchday collection | The exact meeting point and time, with your order reference and photo ID to hand |
Read the listing notes for delivery timing and any seat restrictions before you pay. Bring valid photo ID in case stewards ask for it at the turnstile. Charge your phone fully if you hold mobile tickets, since a flat battery at the gate is an easy way to miss kick-off.
Plan around the delivery date shown in the listing rather than the date you buy. Mobile tickets are often released in the final week before a match, so an empty inbox a month out is normal. Your order status shows exactly where things stand.
The Metropolitano sits in the east of Madrid, a short ride from the centre on Metro line 7, which serves the Estadio Metropolitano station beside the ground. With close to 60,000 people arriving for this fixture, allow plenty of time for the platforms and the security checks.
Arrive at your gate at least 45 minutes before kick-off, keep bags small and have your ticket ready before you reach the turnstile. Queues build quickly in the last half-hour, especially at the gates nearest the metro.
After the final whistle, taxi and ride-hailing queues build quickly around the ground. The metro is usually the fastest way back to the centre, though it pays to wait ten minutes for the first rush to clear.

Overseas buyers should favour mobile or e-ticket listings, which avoid courier delays across borders. If you need seats together, filter for that before you pay and look for the confirmation in the listing notes. Madrid-Barajas airport sits close to the east of the city, which makes the Metropolitano one of the easier La Liga grounds to reach straight from a flight.
If you are flying in on the day, leave a wide margin between landing and kick-off. Security queues, baggage and the transfer across the city can all take longer than planned. A tight connection is an easy way to miss the first half.
The main risk for travellers is the date itself. The fixture is set for Sunday 21 March 2027, with the final slot depending on LaLiga's scheduling and on both clubs' European commitments. Book flexible flights and refundable hotels until the kick-off is fixed. Keep the Saturday and the Monday open in case the match moves.
A March weekend in Madrid is easy to fill around the match. The city centre, the museums and the evening food scene are all a short metro ride from the ground. Staying central and travelling out on the day is the simpler plan for a single match.
Madrid is home to four La Liga clubs this season, with Atletico, Real Madrid, Getafe and Rayo Vallecano all in the top flight. If the fixture list allows, a long weekend can take in more than one match, though kick-off times are only confirmed a couple of weeks ahead.
Getafe were promoted back to La Liga in 2017, the same summer Atletico moved into their new stadium, so the two have shared every season at the Metropolitano. The early meetings were one-way traffic. Atletico won the first four without conceding, including a 2-0 in the first home game of 2018 and a 1-0 on the opening day of 2019/20.
Getafe have made the contest far more open since. They scored three times in a 4-3 defeat in February 2022, held Atletico 1-1 in February 2023 and drew 3-3 in December 2023. Atletico restored order with 1-0 wins in December 2024 and March 2026, but Getafe have shown they can trouble the hosts.
The two clubs also share a long history at Atletico's previous home, the Vicente Calderon, but the move to the Metropolitano gave the fixture a fresh start. For a buyer, the modern record is the one that matters: a full stadium, a home side that has never lost this match at the new ground and a visiting team that keeps the score close.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the gap between the record and the feel of the games. Atletico are unbeaten in nine, yet each of the last five meetings was settled by a single goal or ended level. For a buyer, that means a home win is likely but rarely comfortable.
Getafe arrive in March still chasing a first La Liga win at the Metropolitano. A result in the reverse fixture in November would only sharpen their belief that the run can end.
The figures below cover all La Liga meetings at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano with Atletico Madrid as hosts, from the stadium's first season in 2017/18 to the most recent meeting in March 2026. Earlier meetings at the Vicente Calderon and cup ties sit outside this scope.
| Metric | Total |

| Matches played | 9 |
| Atletico Madrid wins | 7 |
| Getafe wins | 0 |
| Draws | 2 |
| Atletico Madrid goals | 16 |
| Getafe goals | 7 |
| Biggest Atletico Madrid win | 2-0 (6 January 2018 and 26 January 2019) |
| Biggest Getafe win | None in scope (best result 3-3 on 19 December 2023) |
| First La Liga meeting in scope | 6 January 2018 |
| Most recent meeting in scope | 14 March 2026 |
Atletico have kept six clean sheets in nine meetings here. All seven of Getafe's goals at the Metropolitano came in three matches: the 4-3 in 2022 and the 1-1 and 3-3 in 2023.
Atletico have scored in every one of the nine meetings. The 4-3 and the 3-3 are the only games here to produce more than two goals, so most of these afternoons have been tight, low-scoring affairs decided by a single moment.

No. Members get priority in the club's own sale, but a resale marketplace lets you buy without any membership.
Once LaLiga fixes the kick-off time for matchday 29, when listings are widest. Central sideline seats tend to rise in the final week.
Visiting supporters are housed in a segregated block high in the south-east corner. Getafe blue should stay inside that section.
Yes. Choose a mobile or e-ticket listing so nothing depends on international post. Travel with the passport that matches your booking details.
Only if the listing states that the seats are together. Groups of four or more will find more choice in the upper tier than in the central middle tier.
