Buy Celta Vigo vs Getafe tickets for the 2026/27 Season and be at Balaídos for Matchday 22 of La Liga, scheduled for the weekend of Sunday 31 January 2027. La Liga confirms the exact day and kick-off time a few weeks before each round. This is the third round of the second half of the campaign, when the race for the European places starts to take shape.

For Celta Vigo, this is a home game against the side that finished directly behind them last season. Celta were sixth in 2025/26 and Getafe seventh, just three points apart, and both clubs are playing in Europe in 2026/27.
The first meeting of the season, at Getafe in September 2026, ended 1-1. That leaves the January game in Vigo as the decider in the season series, with the head-to-head record potentially mattering if the clubs finish level on points again.
The European race comes first. Celta finished sixth in 2025/26 on 54 points to earn a place in the Europa League, while Getafe were seventh on 51 and reached the Conference League after beating Partizan in the play-off round. When two clubs chasing the same places meet in the second half of the season, the points carry extra weight.
Recent history gives Getafe belief. They won 2-0 at Balaídos on the opening day of 2025/26, and they have won three of their last seven La Liga visits here. That record has made them one of the more awkward visitors on Celta's home calendar.
The head-to-head in Vigo remains close overall. Celta have won six of the 15 La Liga meetings at this ground, Getafe have won three and six have been drawn. Few fixtures on Celta's home calendar are as consistently tight.
Balaídos itself shapes demand this season. The Gol stand behind one goal has been closed for a full rebuild since March 2025, and the city's target is to have it fully operational in early 2027. Until that work is finished, capacity sits below the ground's normal figure, which leaves fewer seats for single-match buyers.
European football also adds to the draw. With Celta's midweek fixtures in the Europa League, the domestic weekend fixtures around them become the main chance for many local fans to see the team at a more familiar time. A Sunday game against a direct rival tends to bring a strong home crowd.
Neither side made a particularly fast start to 2026/27. After seven rounds, Getafe had eight points and Celta seven, with both clubs balancing European commitments against their league form. By late January, the gap to the European places will shape how much this game matters, and early-season stumbles tend to raise the stakes of home games later on.
This season has also brought Deportivo back to La Liga, restoring the Galician derby to the calendar. That fixture sits apart from this one, but it has put Celta's whole home season in sharper focus across the region.
The setting helps too, especially for visitors from abroad. Balaídos sits in Vigo, Galicia's largest city, and a match here pairs easily with a weekend of seafood, the old town and the Atlantic coast.
Yes. Celta sell single-match tickets to the general public once season ticket holders, known as abonados, have been served. At a stadium with reduced capacity during the rebuild, the share of seats left for general sale is smaller than usual.
The rebuild has also moved people around. When the Gol stand closed, the club relocated abonados from that end to other parts of the ground. Some of those seats would otherwise have gone to one-off buyers.
Buying a season ticket to secure one match is rarely realistic for visitors. It commits you to every home game of the campaign and still does not guarantee the seat you want for this weekend.
Timing is the other obstacle. Because La Liga confirms kick-off times only a few weeks ahead, club sale windows often open close to the date. Anyone booking flights to Galicia needs certainty earlier than that.
The resale marketplace is the practical alternative. Sellers on 1BoxOffice list seats across the stadium, with delivery methods and any restrictions stated in each listing. You compare stands and prices side by side and buy when it suits your plans.
Five factors move the price for this fixture. Seat location matters most, with central Tribuna seats at the top of the range. Demand is second, and a meeting between last season's sixth and seventh-placed clubs draws strong local interest.
Timing is the third factor, since prices often firm up once the kick-off time is confirmed. Capacity is the fourth, with the Gol rebuild limiting supply. Hospitality is the fifth, priced in its own bracket.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marcador / end sections | €30 – €55 | Budget-conscious fans who want to be inside the ground | Behind-the-goal seats with a full view of the pitch |
| Río, outer sections | €40 – €70 | First-time visitors wanting a longside view | Opposite the main stand, away from the halfway line |
| Río, central | €55 – €95+ | Buyers who want a central view at a lower price than the main stand | Faces the Tribuna and the dugouts |
| Tribuna | €75 – €140+ | Couples and small groups after the prime sightline | Main stand with the tunnel and premium seating |
| Hospitality / VIP | €150 – €400+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Lounge access, VIP seating or private rooms, depending on the offer |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Group size affects price too. Blocks of four or more seats together are scarcer during the rebuild, so the per-seat cost for a larger group often sits towards the top of each range. Splitting a group across two nearby rows can bring the total down.
Balaídos opened on 30 December 1928 and hosted matches at the 1982 World Cup. Since 2015 it has been rebuilt stand by stand: the Tribuna, the Río and the Marcador Centenario are complete, and the Gol stand is the final phase. Italy played all three of their opening group games here in 1982 on the way to the title. For a section-by-section view, the Balaídos seating plan shows every block.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna, central | Buyers who want the premium sightline | Premium | Rebuilt main stand on the north side with the tunnel, VIP areas and media positions |
| Tribuna, outer sections | Fans wanting main-stand views at lower cost | Mid to upper | Same side as the dugouts; the view improves the higher you sit |
| Río | Neutral buyers and first-time visitors | Mid-range | Two-tier longside on the south side, named after the nearby river; a solid all-round choice |
| Marcador Centenario | Value seekers happy behind the goal | Lower to mid | The newest completed stand at the east end, opened in 2023 |
| Gol (lower rows) | Supporters who want to be close to the pitch | Lower | West end under reconstruction; 792 seats in the lower rows were scheduled to reopen for the start of 2026/27 |
| Away section | Getafe supporters | Lower | A designated corner section with its own access; avoid Getafe colours in home areas |
Neutral buyers should aim for the Río or the outer sections of the Tribuna. Both take in the whole pitch and catch the noise from the home supporters. Groups have the strongest chance of finding seats together along the two longside stands.
Row choice matters at a ground this compact. Lower rows put you close to the players and the noise, while seats higher up give a clearer picture of shape and pressing. Buyers who want to follow the tactical side of a tight game often prefer the middle and upper rows.
Balaídos has wheelchair positions with companion spaces, and the rebuilt Tribuna and Marcador stands have improved access. Because the layout is still changing during the Gol works, contact the club before the match to confirm the position and arrange it in advance.
Wear neutral clothing or Celta sky blue in home sections. Getafe blue belongs in the away section, and stewards take segregation seriously.
Celta's hospitality is based in the rebuilt Tribuna, with private rooms and VIP seating along the main stand. Browse the full list of events at Balaídos to compare hospitality across fixtures at the ground.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Player's Club | Fans who want a behind-the-scenes day | Match seat in the Player's Club zone, catering during the match, a room with a view of the players' tunnel and the chance to watch the warm-up |
| VIP Tunnel Room | Small private groups | A private room for up to 25 guests with views of the dressing-room tunnel |
| Club 1923 Scoreboard Room | Company events and larger parties | Space for up to 75 guests with views over the pitch |
| Central Balcony Room | Large corporate groups | Space for up to 150 guests with a central view of the pitch |
The private rooms are sold for group events rather than as individual seats. Inclusions vary by package and by listing, so read each one carefully and confirm catering and seating before you buy.
A late January afternoon in Vigo is often wet, with Atlantic weather rolling in from the ría. Indoor lounge space is a real advantage at this time of year. Hospitality guests also use dedicated VIP gates, which avoids the busiest queues.
If you are planning a client day around this fixture, book well ahead of the final month. With capacity reduced during the rebuild, premium inventory is limited and tends to go first.
Most La Liga tickets are now issued digitally, and some clubs link them to a named holder. Sellers on the marketplace use a handful of delivery methods for matches at Balaídos.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | The app or wallet used, the date the ticket will arrive and that your phone can display it offline at the gate |
| PDF e-ticket | Whether you need to print it, and that any name on the ticket matches the details the seller asked for |
| Season card loan | How the card is handed over and returned, and whether the seat is in a single-match or abonado area |
| Hospitality package delivery | How passes are issued, the VIP gate for your room and any arrival time for guests |
Read the listing notes before you buy, since they state the delivery method for each set of seats. Carry valid photo ID in case stewards ask for it at the gate. Charge your phone fully before you set off.
Balaídos sits in the south of the city, next to the Río Lagares and the Zona Franca. City buses along the Gran Vía, including lines 16, 23 and H2, run towards the ground, with a 10 to 15-minute walk from the Praza de América roundabout. From the old town, lines such as 5a, 7, 8, 11 and 17 serve the area.
Parking near the stadium fills quickly on matchdays. The bus or a taxi from the centre is the simpler option.

Vigo Peinador Airport sits around 9 kilometres east of the city, with domestic connections and bus and taxi links into the centre. Santiago de Compostela Airport, around 90 kilometres north, offers more routes and is linked to Vigo by train and coach. Porto Airport in Portugal is another option for overseas visitors, around 150 kilometres to the south.
By rail, high-speed services from Madrid reach Vigo-Urzáiz station in the modern centre. Getafe supporters making the trip from the south of Madrid face a journey of around 600 kilometres, which is why the away following at Balaídos is usually modest. For delivery, choose a mobile or e-ticket listing so your tickets arrive before you travel.
Because the kick-off time is confirmed only a few weeks ahead, build flexibility into your plans. La Liga rounds can run from Friday to Monday, so refundable accommodation for the full weekend protects you if the slot moves. Staying near Urzáiz or the old town puts you close to the bars, the port and the bus routes to the ground.
Vigo rewards an early arrival. The Casco Vello, the old quarter above the port, is known for its oyster sellers on the Rúa da Pescadería. The Monte do Castro park offers wide views over the ría and the Cíes Islands on a clear day.
The first meeting of the season has already been played, with the sides drawing 1-1 at Getafe on 7 September 2026. Getafe supporters travelling for the January game should buy through their own club's allocation for the away section.
Plan the day around the confirmed slot. An early kick-off leaves the evening free for dinner in the old town, while a late Sunday game may mean staying over and travelling on Monday morning. Check return trains and flights before you book, as Sunday evening departures from Vigo are limited.
This is a fixture built in the modern era. Getafe reached the top flight for the first time in 2004, and their first La Liga visit to Balaídos came in May 2006, a 1-0 win for a Celta side that went on to finish sixth and qualify for the UEFA Cup. A year later, on the final day of 2006/07, Celta beat Getafe 2-1 but were relegated all the same.
The fixture returned when Celta won promotion in 2012. For several seasons Balaídos was a hard place for Getafe, and Celta went unbeaten in the first eight La Liga meetings here. That run included a 3-1 win on the opening day of 2014/15, still the widest margin in the fixture at this ground.
Getafe finally broke through in November 2019, winning 1-0 during a spell when the Madrid side were among the most difficult teams in La Liga to play against. Since then the balance has shifted. Getafe have won three of the last seven meetings in Vigo, including 2-0 wins in April 2022 and August 2025.
The draws tell their own story. Six of the 15 meetings in Vigo have finished level, including three in a row between 2015 and 2018. Matches between these two sides are often decided by small margins and set pieces.
The 2025/26 season gave the fixture new weight. With Celta sixth and Getafe seventh, the two clubs ended the campaign as neighbours in the table and both went into Europe. That shared rise turns a mid-table meeting from past seasons into a direct contest for the same places.
Both clubs bring European pedigree to the fixture. Celta reached the last 16 of the Champions League in 2003/04 and the Europa League semi-finals in 2016/17. Getafe, founded in 1983, reached two Copa del Rey finals in their first years in La Liga and a UEFA Cup quarter-final in 2008, where they went out to Bayern Munich.

The totals show how evenly matched the sides have been. Celta have won twice as many games, but Getafe have scored almost as many goals. No meeting here has been decided by more than two goals.
The trend matters as much as the totals. Celta won four of the first eight meetings and lost none, but they have won only once in their last four home games against Getafe. The home side will want to reverse that pattern in January.
