La Cartuja is home to Real Betis while the Benito Villamarín is rebuilt, and the club's return is not expected before 2028. The temporary move has opened up a far larger ground, with capacity of around 70,000 after the latest expansion, and Betis supporters have filled it in numbers that few expected.
This guide covers what seats cost, where to sit at an unfamiliar stadium, how entry works and how almost a century of league meetings in Seville have played out. Everything here is built to help you choose the right seat and walk in without surprises.
Betis are riding a strong wave. A fifth-place finish in 2025/26 earned Champions League football this season, and the crowd at La Cartuja has grown alongside the results. A visit from Valencia, six-time champions of Spain, is one of the fixtures home supporters circle when the calendar comes out.
La Cartuja also carries a special memory for this pairing. It was the ground where Betis beat Valencia on penalties in the 2022 Copa del Rey final, and many supporters still talk about that night. Returning to the same stadium for a league meeting gives the fixture extra pull for locals and for neutrals who were there.
The bigger capacity changes the market in useful ways. With far more seats than the old Villamarín, single-match tickets do reach general sale, but the better-placed areas in the lower tiers and the central Preferencia still go quickly. The upper tiers sit further from the pitch, so buyers who want a close view compete for a smaller slice of the ground.
Timing adds another layer. Early May in Seville means warm evenings, long weekends and plenty of visitors already in the city, and the late-season stakes usually matter for both clubs. La Liga confirms exact kick-off times a few weeks ahead, and Betis's Champions League commitments can shift their weekend slot.
Betis's support is also unusually loyal. The club's membership numbers are among the largest in Spain, and the move to a bigger temporary home has been matched by crowds willing to make the longer trip across the river. That loyalty keeps demand high even when the opponent is not a title rival.
For buyers outside Spain, the message is simple. Lower-tier and central seats thin out quickly once the schedule is fixed, so securing seats early gives you more choice of area and a much better chance of sitting together.
Yes. Betis serve their socios and season ticket holders first, then release remaining seats through the club's own ticketing for each match. At a stadium the size of La Cartuja, there is usually some availability for a fixture like this, but the lower tiers and central seats are often taken by members before general sale opens.
Valencia supporters buy through their own club, which receives an allocation for the visiting area. Valencia have a large travelling following, and the trip south is long enough that most supporters secure tickets in advance through the club rather than risk travelling without one.
That is where a marketplace comes in. You do not need to be a Betis socio or hold a purchase history with either club to buy through 1BoxOffice. Sellers list seats, the listing tells you how and when the ticket will arrive and you choose the area you want at a price you can see before paying.
One practical point: Spanish grounds separate home and visiting supporters. If you support Valencia and buy in a home area, keep colours out of sight. Stewards can move supporters who celebrate in the wrong section, whatever the source of the ticket.
Members sometimes release seats they cannot use, but those returns appear at short notice and rarely in the areas visitors want most. If you need certainty for travel plans, waiting for a late release is a gamble most visiting buyers cannot afford to take.
Five factors move the price for this fixture in the 2026/27 season: seat location, overall demand, how close you buy to the match, what both clubs have riding on the run-in and whether you want a premium or VIP seat. La Cartuja's size keeps entry-level prices accessible, while the closest lower-tier views command a clear premium, and listings currently start at around £48.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £45 – £75 | Budget buyers and big groups | Segundo Anfiteatro seats sit high and far from the pitch |
| Goal ends, lower tiers | £60 – £95 | Atmosphere seekers | Gol Norte and Gol Sur hold the most vocal home support |
| Longside, Fondo | £70 – £115 | Neutral buyers wanting a side view | Faces the main stand across the pitch |
| Central Preferencia | £95 – £160+ | Couples and first-time visitors | Main stand, closest to the tunnel and benches |
| Hospitality / VIP | £180 – £400+ | Corporate guests and celebrations | VIP boxes and lounges in the Preferencia; inclusions vary by package |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Price movement for a late-season fixture follows a familiar pattern. Listings appear once the calendar is published, settle through the winter, then firm up when La Liga confirms the date and kick-off. If Betis are chasing a top-four finish or Valencia need points, expect the final fortnight to carry a premium.
Where you sit matters more than usual at this ground. La Cartuja was built as an athletics stadium, and although new lower stands have been added over the old track, the upper tiers remain some distance from play. Paying a little more for a lower-tier seat usually makes a bigger difference here than it would at a purpose-built football ground.
The stadium has four sides, each split into tiers. The La Cartuja seating plan shows the Preferencia as the main stand, the Fondo opposite and the Gol Norte and Gol Sur behind the goals, with a Grada Baja, a Primer Anfiteatro and an upper tier on each side.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gol Norte and Gol Sur (Grada Baja) | Home supporters who want noise | Lower to mid | Built over the old track, close to the goals and full of singing |
| Primer Anfiteatro | Value hunters wanting a raised view | Mid | Middle tier with a good overview of the pitch |
| Segundo Anfiteatro | Budget buyers and large groups | Lower | Upper tier; far from the action, especially in the corners |
| Fondo (longside) | Neutral buyers and families | Mid | Side-on view facing the dugouts |
| Preferencia | Premium buyers and corporate guests | Upper | Main stand with the tunnel, the benches and the VIP areas |
| Visiting area | Valencia supporters only | Club-set price | Placed in the corner between the Gol Norte and the Fondo since the move to La Cartuja; sold through Valencia's own ticketing |
Neutral fans and undecided buyers should aim for the lower or middle tiers of the Fondo or the Preferencia. You get a full view without being surrounded by the loudest home support, and families will find the main stand calmer. Anyone comparing areas across the Estadio La Cartuja should favour listings with clear stand, tier and row details over vague descriptions.
Corner seats in the upper tier deserve a warning. Sightlines there can be awkward because of the stadium's athletics heritage, so if a price looks unusually low, confirm the exact tier and position before buying.
Supporters with access needs should contact the seller before buying, since accessible spaces and companion places are allocated through the club. Get any arrangement confirmed in writing before matchday.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| VIP boxes | Business guests and private groups | Private space in the Preferencia with catering |
| VIP lounge seats | Celebrations and corporate hosts | Air-conditioned lounge access and padded central seats |
| Marketplace hospitality listings | Buyers wanting food and drink included | Inclusions written into the listing before you pay |
| Premium Preferencia seats | Couples and visiting neutrals | Central main-stand view without a dining package |
Betis have expanded their VIP offer at La Cartuja, with boxes and lounges in the Preferencia offering catering and air-conditioned spaces. That matters in Seville, where early May evenings can still be warm, and a shaded lounge before kick-off is a genuine comfort.
When a listing includes extras such as dining, drinks or parking, those inclusions are set out in the listing itself. Read them carefully, compare the package against a central Preferencia seat and only pay the premium if the extras matter to your day. Only alcohol-free beer is sold inside the ground, which is worth knowing before you pay for a package built around drinks.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | The ticket loads in the right app or wallet and any transfer has been accepted before matchday |
| E-ticket (PDF) | The file opens on your phone and shows the correct stand, tier and seat |
| Paper ticket | Delivery address and timing, with tracking for overseas orders |
| Local hand delivery | Meeting point, time and contact details, all confirmed through your order |
Read the listing notes before you buy, since they set out how and when your ticket will arrive. Bring a valid photo ID in case stewards ask for it, and charge your phone fully if you are using mobile entry. A screenshot is not always accepted at the gate, so keep the ticket loaded in its app or wallet.
Spanish clubs often release mobile tickets close to matchday rather than weeks in advance. A ticket that has not arrived ten days before the game is usually normal, not a warning sign. The listing notes and your order updates will tell you when to expect it, and customer support can step in if anything slips.
La Cartuja sits on the Isla de la Cartuja, north-west of the old town. The quickest route is the Cercanías C-2 train from Santa Justa to the Estadio Olímpico stop, which takes around 15 minutes. TUSSAM city buses and special matchday services run from the centre, and the walk from the Alameda over the Barqueta bridge takes about 45 minutes.
Driving is a poor option. Police restrict private vehicles around the stadium well before kick-off, and parking needs to be arranged in advance. Plan to arrive at least an hour early, since bag searches and queues build quickly with a crowd of this size.
Security is straightforward but firm. Glass, cans and alcohol are refused at entry, large backpacks may be turned away and small plastic bottles have their caps removed at the gate. Travel light and the process moves quickly.

Value at a stadium this large is about choosing the right tier rather than chasing the lowest price. These habits help.
Seville Airport has direct flights from several UK and European cities, and Madrid is around two and a half hours away by high-speed train. Mobile and e-ticket delivery suit international buyers best, since the ticket travels with you and there is no need to meet anyone on arrival. If you are travelling as a group, filter for listings that guarantee seats together before you buy.
La Liga dates and kick-off times can move once broadcast slots are finalised, and Betis's Champions League schedule adds to that possibility. Book flexible flights and refundable hotels where possible, and avoid flying in on the morning of the match. Late kick-offs in Seville can also run into the night, so plan your journey back to your hotel before you set out.
Prices on 1BoxOffice are shown in pounds sterling, so UK buyers know the full cost before paying, while buyers from elsewhere should expect their card provider to apply its own exchange rate. Keep your order confirmation and the seller's delivery notes on your phone; if plans change or the fixture moves, that is the record customer support will work from.
Turning the match into a weekend is easy. The cathedral, the Alcázar and the tapas bars of Triana and the Alameda are all close to the centre, and early May is one of the most pleasant times to visit the city. Staying overnight lets you enjoy the evening without rushing for the last train.
Betis and Valencia first met in the top flight in December 1932, and the early meetings in Seville belonged to the hosts. Betis won all four home league games against Valencia between 1932 and 1936, a run that included the 1934/35 season in which they won their only Spanish title. That era still shapes how Betis supporters see this fixture: as a meeting with one of the great clubs, on equal terms.
The decades since have swung back and forth. Betis lost only five of their thirty home league meetings with Valencia before 1990, but the following twenty years were harder, with Valencia winning more often than they lost during their own era of titles and European finals. The most remarkable game in the series came in October 2017, when Valencia won 6-3 in Seville the highest-scoring league meeting between the clubs in Seville.
The recent run has belonged to Betis. They are unbeaten in their last seven home league meetings with Valencia, including a 4-1 win in October 2021 and a 3-0 win in October 2023, and they won 2-1 last February in the first league meeting at La Cartuja.
The two clubs also share a reputation for passionate, demanding crowds. Valencia's Mestalla is one of the steepest and loudest grounds in Spain, and travelling Valencia supporters bring that intensity with them. Betis fans, for their part, are known for filling stadiums through good seasons and bad, which gives this meeting an atmosphere that belies its lack of a formal rivalry.
What makes the fixture distinctive this season is the setting. A fixture with almost a century of history now plays out in a stadium built for athletics and finals, with a crowd far larger than the old ground could hold. Valencia supporters who know the trip to Seville well will find a very different matchday, and so will Betis fans until the new Villamarín opens.
Betis have hosted Valencia only once in La Liga at La Cartuja, so the figures below cover every La Liga meeting with Betis as hosts, at the Benito Villamarín site and at La Cartuja.

Source: La Liga results cross-referenced between BDFutbol and the season-by-season results tables. Betis have also won 3-0 four times at home in this fixture, matching the three-goal margin of the 4-1 in 2021; Valencia's 3-0 win in December 1939 matches the margin of their 6-3.
The shape of the record is clear. Betis have won almost half of these home meetings and lost fewer than a quarter, with their strongest spells before 1990 and again since 2011, when they have won eight of fourteen and lost only two.
