Buy Celta Vigo vs Real Sociedad tickets for the 2026/27 Season. Matchday 37 of La Liga is scheduled for the weekend of Sunday 23 May 2027 at Abanca-Balaídos in Vigo, with LaLiga confirming the exact day and kick-off time three to four weeks beforehand. It is Celta's final home league game of the season, one round before the campaign closes.

Late May in Vigo tends to carry consequences. Both clubs are playing in the Europa League this season, and the penultimate round is where European places for next year are often settled. Our Celta Vigo tickets listings cover every home date at Balaídos, but this is the one that closes the season in front of the home crowd.
This guide covers access, pricing, seating, hospitality and delivery, then sets out the full La Liga record between the sides at Balaídos. Everything here is built to help you choose a seat and buy with confidence.
Demand starts with Celta's own supporters. The club has more than 45,000 carné holders across all membership types, and 99% of season ticket holders renewed for 2026/27. New season tickets were capped, with a waiting list in place until the rebuilt Gol stand is finished.
Capacity is the second factor. Balaídos holds around 23,400 this season while that stand is completed, so single-match tickets are squeezed from the start. If the new Gol stand opens as planned in early 2027, capacity rises beyond 31,000, but the extra seats will be in high demand from members first.
The visitors raise the stakes. Real Sociedad won the Copa del Rey in April 2026 and arrive as fellow Europa League participants. They won La Liga in 1981 and 1982 and have lifted the Copa del Rey four times. Their allocation at Balaídos is small, which puts extra pressure on the away section.
Celta's own recent record adds to the pull. The club finished sixth in 2025/26 and reached the Europa League quarter-finals in the same season, earning a return to the league phase for 2026/27. This is also their 15th consecutive top-flight campaign, the longest run in the club's history. European football has raised the profile of every home game at Balaídos.
Then there is the calendar. Matchday 37 is the last home game for Celta's members before the summer, and with Europe on the line for both sides, interest from neutrals in Galicia and beyond builds through the spring. For a club whose stadium has been partly a building site for much of the past decade, a full house for the last home game of the season is part of the occasion.
Yes, if any seats reach general sale. Celta sells single-match tickets in two phases. Holders of a Carné Celtista get a 24-hour priority window through the club's supporter portal, then general sale opens on the club website and at the stadium box office.
For 2026/27 league games, that sale has typically opened three to five weeks before the match. Last season's meeting with Real Sociedad went on sale around three weeks ahead, with member prices from €20 and general prices from €25. The club now uses dynamic pricing, so face values rise as demand builds.
There are rules to know. Purchases are capped at six tickets, every ticket is issued in the holder's name and the club does not allow name changes or refunds unless a match is called off. Away supporters cannot buy in general sale; they must go through Real Sociedad for the away section.
The arithmetic explains the squeeze. The club has more than 45,000 carné holders of all types against a current capacity of around 23,400, so even before general sale, members alone could fill the ground almost twice over. Only the spare seats left after season ticket holders and the member priority window ever reach the public.
Real Sociedad run their own process for away games. For recent trips, members and registered supporters have applied by a deadline, paid within 24 hours and received named digital tickets by email around 48 hours before the match, with ID required at the gate.
With season ticket holders occupying most of the ground and members getting first access, the general-sale window for a late-season fixture can be brief. A verified marketplace gives you a route that does not depend on catching it, with seats listed across the season and delivery details set out before you pay.
Five factors drive resale prices for this match: seat location, demand, timing, the competitive stakes of the 2026/27 run-in and whether you choose hospitality. Club face values for league games start low, but dynamic pricing and a squeezed general sale push the resale market higher as matchday nears.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behind the goal (Gol or Marcador) | £65 – £95 | Budget buyers wanting atmosphere | End stands with a lively home crowd |
| Río Alto (upper side) | £80 – £120 | First-time visitors | Elevated side view of the whole pitch |
| Río Baixo and lower side | £100 – £160 | Fans who want to be close to play | Lower rows near pitch level; central blocks cost more |
| Tribuna central | £150 – £240+ | Neutrals and premium buyers | Main stand on the halfway line, limited stock |
| Hospitality / VIP | £280 – £500+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Lounge access, catering and padded seats |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Timing matters most. Listings are widest in the months before general sale, when season ticket holders are still deciding on plans. Once LaLiga fixes the kick-off and the club's sale closes, stock thins quickly. The final fortnight is usually where prices peak if European places are still in play.
The club's own pricing shows how far demand can move face value. League games this season have started from €25 in general sale, while the Europa League visit of Juventus started from €45. A penultimate-round game with Europe at stake sits closer to the second figure in buyer interest, even if the starting price does not.
Group size matters too. Pairs are straightforward in most stands. Four or more together in the side stands are much harder to find and priced accordingly.
Balaídos sits beside the Lagares river in the south-west of the city, about 3 km from the historic centre. The stadium has been rebuilt stand by stand over the past decade: Río and Marcador are complete, the new Gol stand is going up and the Tribuna is the last to be redeveloped. The Balaídos seating plan shows how the upper and lower tiers are split, which matters for views.
The ground hosts all of Celta's home league and European fixtures, and our Estadio de Balaídos tickets listings show every upcoming match if you want to compare dates.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marcador Centenario (end stand) | Home supporters wanting noise | Lower | Rebuilt end stand with upper and lower tiers; home supporters only |
| Gol (end stand) | Home fans on a budget | Lower | New stand under construction; only part open in the first half of the season |
| Río Baixo (lower side) | Families and first-time visitors | Mid | Close to the pitch along the touchline; reduced-mobility places sit in the last row |
| Río Alto (upper side) | Fans wanting a full view of the game | Mid | Elevated sightlines; part of this tier is reserved for away fans |
| Tribuna (main stand) | Neutrals and premium buyers | Higher | Original main stand facing Río; Balcony Club seats sit in the first row of the upper tier |
| Away section (Río Alto) | Real Sociedad supporters | Lower | A separate section of around 380 seats with its own entrance at Puerta 20; sold through Real Sociedad |
The rebuild is worth understanding before you buy. The new Marcador was named the Marcador Centenario on completion, and the Gol stand under construction will add more than 7,000 seats when it opens. The Tribuna, the last original stand, is due to be redeveloped later as part of the city's bid to host matches at the 2030 World Cup.
Upper tiers in Río and Marcador give a fuller view of the shape of the game, while lower-tier seats bring you near the touchline but flatten the view of play on the far side. Mid-rows in either tier strike a sensible balance.
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for Río Baixo or the Tribuna. The club refuses entry to anyone wearing rival colours outside the away section, so leave Real Sociedad shirts at the hotel unless you hold an away ticket.
Celta's hospitality programme is broad for a club of its size, and its Sky lounge in the Marcador Club won LaLiga's best hospitality product award in 2026. Catering is now run by Oak View Group, which took over the club's hospitality and food service in August 2026.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Río Club | Couples and small groups | Seats in Río Baixo with catering in the Río Club lounge; a premium version adds show-cooking |
| Marcador Club 1923 | Groups wanting a social lounge | Private lift to a VIP lounge in the corner of Marcador Alto with catering |
| Players' Club | Fans who want proximity to the team | Seats behind the dugouts and a lounge overlooking the players' tunnel |
| Balcony Club | Premium buyers marking an occasion | First-row seats in the upper Tribuna with screens and lounge access |
Season packages give a sense of the value involved. Club prices for a full league season of hospitality range from around €1,200 per seat in the Río Club to €2,500 or more in the Balcony Club and private boxes, before VAT, which is why single-match hospitality for a key fixture is priced at a premium.
Above these sit private boxes for up to 19 guests, with their own catering, television and facilities. The club also sells single-match VIP tickets when season packages leave space, though availability for a late-season fixture is limited.
Lounge sizes vary, which shapes the atmosphere. The Río Club lounge holds around 160 guests and the central Balcony area around 150, while the Marcador Club 1923 lounge and the players' tunnel area are more intimate. Smaller lounges suit groups who want a quieter pre-match experience.
Read each listing carefully. Confirm which lounge is included, whether food and drink are part of the package and where the seat sits before you commit.
Every Celta ticket carries the holder's name, and season cards come either as a chip card or as a digital card in the club app. Some cards cannot be lent, and ID may be checked at the gate for those categories.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF) | Barcode is clear and the name on the ticket matches what the listing describes |
| Mobile ticket | How the seller will transfer it to your phone and when it will arrive |
| Carné or app-based access | Whether the seat comes on a member card and any conditions on lending it |
| In-person handover in Vigo | Meeting point, time and contact number confirmed in the listing notes |
Check the listing notes before you buy, because delivery methods vary by seller. Bring valid photo ID and charge your phone fully if your ticket is mobile. Flares, alcohol and heavy objects that could be thrown are banned.
Gates open 75 minutes before kick-off, and the club advises arriving 30 to 40 minutes early. Box offices open from 10:00 until kick-off on matchday, and free pram storage is available in the Tribuna between gates 10 and 11.
Because tickets at Balaídos are issued to a named holder and the club does not process name changes, the listing notes matter more than usual. Make sure you understand how the seller will deliver the ticket and whose name it carries before you complete the order.
Every spectator needs a ticket, including babies. Under-14s must attend with an adult, and 14 to 16-year-olds need a guardian's authorisation.

Vigo-Peinador Airport sits around 10 km from the city centre, with Vitrasa line A connecting it to Balaídos. Santiago de Compostela Airport is around 108 km away by road and Porto Airport around 149 km, which gives international buyers more flight options.
The old town and port sit about 3 km from the ground, so most visitors stay in the centre and travel to Balaídos by bus or taxi. From Vigo-Urzáiz station, Vitrasa lines A, 5A and 11 run towards the stadium; from Vigo-Guixar, line 16 takes around half an hour. On foot, Urzáiz is around 45 minutes from the stadium. For overseas orders, choose a delivery method that works while you travel and confirm the timing before you book.
Real Sociedad supporters face a journey of around 715 km by road from San Sebastián, and many fly via Santiago or Vigo. Whichever side you follow, request seats together in your order notes and book flexible travel. LaLiga sets the exact day and kick-off time for Matchday 37 only a few weeks out, so the game could fall on the Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday of that weekend.
The first La Liga meeting in Vigo came on 21 December 1941, when Celta won 6-1, still their biggest win in the fixture. Through the 1950s and 1970s Balaídos was a difficult trip for Real Sociedad, with Celta winning the majority of home meetings, including a 5-1 in February 1955. The turn of the century brought another strong spell for the hosts, with back-to-back 4-1 wins in 2000.
The fixture's sharpest moment came on 15 June 2003. On the penultimate day of the season, Real Sociedad arrived at Balaídos chasing the league title and lost 3-2, a result that cost them top spot and helped Celta clinch their first Champions League place. Seven months later, Real Sociedad won 5-2 in Vigo in a season that ended with Celta relegated. Recent years have tilted the other way, with the visitors winning six of the seven meetings between August 2017 and January 2024.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how often it has carried stakes beyond the three points. A title race, a European place and a relegation season have all run through Balaídos. With both clubs in Europe this season and the meeting set for the penultimate round, there is every chance it does so again.
Late-season meetings have form for drama. The 2003 game came on the penultimate day, and in May 2017 the sides drew 2-2 at Balaídos on the final day of the season. A May date in 2027 continues that pattern of the fixture arriving when the table is being decided.
All La Liga meetings at Balaídos with Celta as hosts, from 1941 to the end of 2025/26. The 1992/93 home match played at Pasarón in Pontevedra, while Balaídos was closed, is excluded.

Celta have won almost half of their home meetings with Real Sociedad and lost fewer than three in ten. The recent trend is closer than that overall record suggests, which is part of what makes the 2026/27 meeting hard to call.
