This is a regional derby with a quirk no other fixture on the calendar can match. In 14 La Liga meetings at this ground, Levante and Villarreal have never drawn. For supporters of Levante, that means an April afternoon where something always gives, with six rounds left to play after this one.
The visitors arrive as a Champions League club, while the hosts are fighting to stay in the top flight. Villarreal also won the September meeting 3-1 at the Estadio de la Cerámica, so Levante supporters have a score to settle on home soil.
The ground holds 26,354, with its biggest crowds reserved for the visits of the leading clubs and the regional rivals. When Villarreal last visited in February 2026, 18,153 were inside. A spring Sunday with survival points at stake should push that figure higher.
Villarreal bring a short-haul travelling support. The town sits roughly 60 kilometres up the coast in Castellón province, close enough for a matchday trip by car or train. LaLiga itself has billed this meeting as a regional derby. The away end in the north stand usually fills.
The visitors' profile has never been higher. Villarreal finished third in La Liga last season on 72 points and are playing in this season's Champions League league phase. That draws neutral and overseas buyers who want to see a European side in an intimate ground.
Levante's position adds urgency. The club survived on tiebreak last season, finishing 16th on 42 points, level with the two sides directly below. Home points in April will matter just as much this time. The home end will know it.
The record gives Villarreal confidence and Levante an edge to play for. The visitors have won nine of the 14 meetings here, but Levante's five wins include a 2-0 in April 2022 and a 2-1 comeback in August 2019. Nobody leaves this fixture with a point.
Levante's support is rooted in the neighbourhoods around the ground. The club was founded in 1909, while its home end takes its name from the Orriols district where the stadium stands. When the sides opened the 2014/15 season here in a game billed as a regional derby, 19,000 turned out. A spring meeting with survival at stake can match that.
September's meeting sharpened the edge. Villarreal won 3-1 at the Estadio de la Cerámica in front of 18,671, scoring twice after half-time once Levante had cancelled out their opener within a minute. The return in April is Levante's chance to answer on their own ground.
Villarreal's European schedule may also shape the date. A Champions League campaign can bring midweek ties in the spring, with LaLiga often moving weekend fixtures around them. Treat the Sunday slot as provisional until the final schedule is published, then book travel you can change.
Usually, but central seats go early. Levante give their season ticket holders priority for home games and release remaining seats through club routes closer to the match. For a regional derby against a Champions League side, central seats in the Tribuna rarely last long.
Club sales for single matches usually open only once LaLiga confirms the kick-off time, a few weeks before each round. That leaves little room for anyone booking flights or hotels well in advance, which is where buying early on the marketplace helps.
Club membership does not guarantee a seat either. It suits local regulars who attend every week, not a visitor planning a single weekend in Valencia. For a one-off trip, buying a specific seat directly is usually the more reliable route.
Groups face the toughest squeeze. Blocks of four or more seats together rarely survive the member phases in the central Tribuna. Larger parties should look at the Grada Central or the upper rows behind the goals early, where runs of seats are easier to find.
Villarreal supporters face their own route. The away allocation is sold through Villarreal to its members first. Fans who miss out sometimes look for seats elsewhere in the ground, which means dressing neutrally and avoiding the home end.
A secondary marketplace removes those steps. You see the stand before you pay, request seats together and buy from verified sellers without any club membership. Every order also carries a guarantee if a ticket fails to grant entry.
On matchday the ticket office at the stadium sells whatever remains after members have bought. For a derby in the run-in, turning up on the day without a ticket is a gamble few travelling fans should take.
Five things set the price of a seat for this 2026/27 fixture: where you sit, how strong demand is, how close to the match you buy, what is at stake in the table and whether you want hospitality. A regional derby with a Champions League visitor sits towards the top of Levante's home price bands.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gol Orriols / Gol Alboraya, upper rows | £35 – £55 | Budget buyers and groups | Behind the goals; the lowest-priced seats with a full view down the pitch |
| Grada Central, standard | £45 – £75 | First-time visitors | Long side opposite the main stand with a clear view of both boxes |
| Tribuna, central lower tier | £65 – £110 | Comfort and a tactical view | Main stand along the halfway line |
| Premium Tribuna seating | £100 – £160+ | Couples and client guests | Central seats close to the VIP areas without a full package |
| Hospitality / VIP | £160 – £350+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Lounge access and catering; inclusions vary by package |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Levante price their own tickets in euros, while listings on 1BoxOffice show the full price in pounds before you pay. The visits of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid and Valencia command the highest prices at the Ciutat de València. This fixture usually sits just below that group.
Two factors could push prices up. If Levante are fighting relegation in April, local demand will rise. A strong Villarreal following would also tighten supply around the north end, so buying once the kick-off time is confirmed usually gives a good balance of price and certainty.
Read each listing's stand carefully. Home sections in the Gol Alboraya sit beside the visiting supporters, which suits fans who enjoy a lively end but not families or anyone in Levante colours wanting a quiet afternoon. Seats a few blocks further along the Grada Central often cost little more and feel far calmer.
A Sunday afternoon slot also widens the market. It suits families, day-trippers from Castellón and visitors spending a weekend in Valencia, which keeps demand for pairs and fours in the longside stands strong. Groups should move first, while single seats can safely wait a little longer.
Expect movement at three points. The first comes when LaLiga confirms the final slot. The second follows Villarreal's Champions League results, which shape their travelling numbers. The third arrives in the final week, when season ticket holders who cannot attend release their seats.
The Estadi Ciutat de València opened in 1969 and took its current name in 1999. A new roof now covers every stand, so the whole ground is sheltered from rain and sun. The Tribuna runs along the west side as the main stand, the Grada Central faces it on the east, the Gol Orriols is the home end to the south and the Gol Alboraya closes the north.
Before you commit, compare sightlines on the Ciutat de València seating plan. The stands sit close to the touchline, so even the upper rows give a good view.
Because the roof now covers the whole ground, there is no longer a weather penalty for sitting high up. The upper rows of the Tribuna and Grada Central give a clear read of the shape of the game, often at a lower price than the front rows nearest the pitch.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna | Premium buyers and couples | Higher | Main stand on the west side with the VIP areas and the most central seats |
| Grada Central | First-time visitors | Mid | East longside facing the Tribuna, with the full sweep of the pitch in view |
| Gol Orriols | Levante supporters | Lower | The south home end, loud throughout; not for Villarreal colours |
| Gol Alboraya (home sections) | Groups on a budget | Lower | Behind the north goal, sharing the end with the visitors, so expect segregation |
| Upper rows of the longsides | Value seekers | Lower to mid | An elevated view of the whole pitch at a lower price than the central lower tier |
| Away section | Villarreal supporters | Lower | An upper sector of the Gol Alboraya towards the Grada Central; yellow belongs only in this area |
Neutral and undecided buyers are usually happiest in the Grada Central or the upper Tribuna, away from both sets of organised supporters. Wear neutral clothing outside the away section and keep Villarreal's yellow away from the Gol Orriols. Seats near halfway in the Grada Central give almost the same view as the Tribuna opposite.
Listings do not always use the same name for the ground. You will see Ciutat de València in Valencian, Ciudad de Valencia in Spanish and occasionally its old name, Nou Estadi. All of them refer to the same stadium in the north of the city.
The Gol Orriols is the heart of the Levante support, loud from the warm-up to the final whistle. It suits fans who want to sing and stand for the match, while visitors wanting a quieter view should stay on the longsides.
For a wider look at the ground before you travel, our Ciutat de València guide covers every event held there this season. Supporters with access needs should contact Levante before buying, as wheelchair positions and companion seats are allocated through the club.
Families should look at the Grada Central or the upper Tribuna. Both give a full view of the pitch with a calmer atmosphere than the rows nearest the home end or the visiting supporters. Check listings for any age restrictions before you buy.
Levante's hospitality is centred on the Tribuna, where VIP seats and private boxes sit along the halfway line, level with the dugouts. For a regional derby, corporate demand from across Valencia and Castellón tends to be steady, so single-match packages go earlier than for a mid-table visit.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| VIP seat with lounge access | Pairs and small client groups | Central Tribuna seat with pre-match drinks and food |
| Business lounge package | Corporate guests | Catering before kick-off and at half-time with premium seating |
| Private box | Companies and private parties | A private space with catering and a dedicated view of the pitch |
| Premium padded seat | Fans wanting comfort without full hospitality | A central seat with quicker access, without the lounge |
Packages differ widely in what they include, so focus on the lounge, the arrival time and exactly where your seat sits in the Tribuna. Boxes are often sold for the full season, which leaves few for single matches. Groups of six or more should book well ahead.
For an afternoon kick-off, hospitality also turns the match into a relaxed lunch rather than a rush through the security queue. Valencia takes its food seriously, so a lounge package is a good way to fold the city's cooking into the day.
When comparing packages, look at four things: whether drinks are inclusive, whether dining is a buffet or a served meal, where the seats sit relative to halfway and how early the lounge opens. Those details separate a pleasant upgrade from a memorable afternoon.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket in the club app | Confirm the ticket loads in the app before matchday and opens without a signal problem |
| Mobile transfer | Use the same name and email as your order, then accept the transfer as soon as it arrives |
| E-ticket (PDF) | Confirm whether a printed copy or on-screen barcode is accepted at the turnstile for this fixture |
| Paper ticket or collection | Note the delivery address or collection point and allow for postal delays close to the match |
Read the listing notes before you buy so you know which delivery method applies and when the tickets will arrive. Mobile tickets often land in the final days before the game. Your order stays protected while you wait.
Bring valid photo ID that matches the name on your booking and charge your phone fully before setting off. A flat battery at the turnstile is the most common entry problem with digital tickets, so a power bank is worth packing.
Getting there is simple. Tram line 6 stops right outside the stadium at Estadi Ciutat de València, while Metro line 3 to Machado leaves a walk of five to ten minutes. Allow at least 45 minutes before kick-off to clear the security checks without rushing.
Plan your exit as carefully as your arrival. Trams outside the ground fill quickly after the final whistle, so many visitors walk to Machado for the Metro instead. Taxis are easier to find a few streets away from the ground. Allow extra time if you have an onward train or flight to catch.
If your ticket has not arrived by the day before the match, contact 1BoxOffice customer support with your order number. Keep your confirmation email to hand until then, as it is your proof of purchase.

Valencia airport has direct flights from across Europe, with Metro lines linking it to the city centre in under half an hour. The stadium sits in the north of the city, so a Sunday kick-off fits neatly into a weekend break. A Saturday fixture at the Estadio Mestalla can turn the trip into a Valencia double if the calendar lines up.
LaLiga confirms kick-off times only a few weeks ahead, so book flexible flights and hotels with a Monday departure if you can. Spain runs one hour ahead of the UK and two hours behind the UAE in April. Visitors from the Gulf usually connect through Madrid or another European hub. If you are travelling as a group, request seats together at the point of purchase and confirm the arrangement in the listing notes.
Domestic visitors have easy options too. High-speed trains link Madrid with Valencia in under two hours, while Villarreal supporters can take Cercanías line C6 from Vila-real station down the coast. That makes a same-day trip simple for fans of either club.
The first top-flight meeting here came in January 2005, when Villarreal won 4-2 in a six-goal game. Villarreal dominated the early years, winning the first four visits. Levante's first home league win over their neighbours finally came in March 2012, with a stoppage-time winner after Villarreal had been reduced to ten men.
The modern era has been sharper. Levante won on the opening weekend in 2017 and again in August 2019, when they came from behind with two penalties in five minutes. Villarreal answered with their widest win here, 5-1 behind closed doors in April 2021, before Levante took a 2-0 win in April 2022. Last season's meeting was postponed from December by a red alert for heavy rain and finally settled 1-0 to Villarreal in February.
Fourteen meetings here have produced 36 goals and not a single draw. Villarreal's 3-1 win in September at the Estadio de la Cerámica keeps their recent edge intact. Levante's task in April is to add a sixth home win to the list. Half of all 14 meetings here have been settled by a single goal, so expect a tight afternoon.
