Buy Valencia vs Alaves tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the La Liga fixture scheduled for Sunday 14 February 2027 and kick-off currently listed at 18:00 local time (17:00 UK) at Estadio de Mestalla. It is matchday 24 and La Liga confirms exact kick-off slots a few weeks before each round, so keep the whole weekend free in case the game moves. This is also one of the last chances to watch Valencia at Mestalla, which is in its final season before the move to the Nou Mestalla.

That deadline changes everything about this fixture. Valencia intend to begin the 2027/28 season in their new stadium, ending more than a century at a ground that opened in May 1923. Every home game from here is part of a farewell and a February Sunday against Alavés is no exception.
The football adds its own interest. Valencia won 1-0 in Vitoria in September and 3-2 here last March, but Alavés won at Mestalla as recently as May 2024.
Start with the stadium. Mestalla holds close to 49,000 and Valencia's membership takes the large majority of those seats. In a normal year, members who skip a routine Sunday release their places to resale. In a closing season, far fewer do, because there will not be another chance to sit in that seat in that stand.
History is part of the ticket. Mestalla opened on 20 May 1923, hosted matches at the 1982 World Cup and has seen Valencia win league titles, cup finals and European nights. The Nou Mestalla will hold far more people, but supporters know the old ground's steep stands and close atmosphere cannot be moved across the city.
Then add the visitors. Alavés are well established in La Liga after finishing 14th last season and their supporters know Mestalla well from decades of meetings. Vitoria-Gasteiz is a long trip to the Mediterranean, so the away allocation in the north-east corner is modest, but it usually fills for a fixture with this much history.
There is a third group in the market. Groundhoppers, photographers and neutrals who want to see Mestalla before it closes are buying tickets to Valencia home games because of the deadline. A stadium with steep, close stands and a reputation as one of the most intimidating in Spain becomes a destination in its final year and that demand competes with local supporters for the same small pool.
Recent crowds show the pull. The May 2024 meeting drew 44,643, the largest attendance this fixture has recorded and last March's game drew 41,512. A Sunday evening in a farewell season should sit at the top of that range.
League context adds weight too. Valencia finished ninth last season, five places and six points above Alavés and both clubs will see February as a point in the season when home points shape the run-in.
Through the club, it is difficult this season. Valencia sell match tickets after their socios have been served and with membership at a high level for the final season at Mestalla, the number of seats reaching general sale for any league game is small. The central blocks on the Avenida de Suecia side are usually the first to go.
Membership is not a practical shortcut for a one-off visitor. Socio places for 2026/27 were taken up well before the season and joining now does not guarantee a seat for a single match.
Timing matters more than usual. Members who cannot attend tend to decide late, so resale supply often appears in the final fortnight rather than when the fixture is first listed. In a farewell season, though, those late releases are fewer and sell faster than in a normal year.
Overseas buyers face an extra hurdle. Club sales can require registration in Spanish, a local payment method or a member number and sale windows open only a few weeks before the match, which makes planning a trip around them difficult.
The resale marketplace is the practical route. Listings on 1BoxOffice come from verified sellers, including members who cannot attend. Every listing shows its stand and delivery method before you pay and every order carries a 150% money-back guarantee.
Alavés supporters have a separate route through their own club for the away section. Visiting fans who miss that allocation should buy only listings that confirm a seat inside the away area and wear neutral clothing anywhere else in the ground.
Five factors shape prices for this match. Seat location comes first, with central seats on the covered Avenida de Suecia side at the top of the range. Demand follows and the farewell season has lifted the whole Mestalla market for 2026/27.
Timing matters too, since prices move once La Liga confirms the kick-off slot. Competition context adds weight, with both sides chasing a top-half finish. Hospitality packages sit in a bracket of their own.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gol Sur, upper | £45 – £75 | Budget-minded buyers | High behind the goal; a steep gradient with a full view of the pitch |
| Gol Norte | £55 – £90 | Fans who want noise and the classic Mestalla view | Steep, close and loud; expect to stand |
| Avenida de Aragón, east side | £60 – £100 | Most visitors and neutrals | Large side opposite the main stand with good side-on views |
| Avenida de Suecia, central | £90 – £160+ | Buyers after the clearest view of the pitch | Covered main side near the halfway line; supply is thin |
| Hospitality / VIP | £200 – £450+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Lounge access, catering and central seats; packages vary |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Listings for this match currently start from around £48. That is well below the visit of Real Madrid in November, which sets the upper limit of the Mestalla market this season, yet above what a February visit from Alavés would have cost in an ordinary year. The farewell effect is real.
Compare that with the reverse fixture. Mendizorrotza holds under 20,000, so seats for Alavés home games are scarce in a different way, but the demand from neutrals is far lower than at a stadium in its final year.
Group size affects price as well. Released member seats tend to surface individually, so a group of four buying in the general bowl will often be split across rows. Pairs are easier to place and usually better value per seat.
The kick-off slot also moves the market. A Sunday evening suits visitors on a weekend break, while a switch to a Saturday or an earlier Sunday slot changes who can travel. Listings tend to reprice within days of the confirmation.
Mestalla is not a modern bowl and its character comes from that. The stands rise at an angle few newer grounds would be built with, which puts spectators unusually close to the pitch for a stadium of this size. The Mestalla seating plan shows how the four sides fit together.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avenida de Suecia, central (west) | Reading the game properly | High | Halfway line under the roof, with the dugouts below; the cleanest sightlines in the ground |
| Avenida de Suecia, towards the corners | Keeping the cover, losing some angle | Upper mid | Same stand at a lower price; a sensible compromise when central seats have gone |
| Avenida de Aragón (east) | The value pick for most visitors | Mid | Large side opposite the main stand; good views but little shelter |
| Gol Norte | Noise and the classic Mestalla view | Mid | Steep, close and loud; the stand people picture when they think of this ground |
| Gol Sur, upper | Lowest entry price | Low | High behind the goal; the gradient is severe, so anyone uneasy with heights should look elsewhere |
| North-east corner (away section) | Alavés supporters | Set by allocation | The visiting allocation sits in this corner; blue and white belongs inside that block only |
Neutral or undecided buyers have a real choice to make here. A covered seat on the Avenida de Suecia gives you the clearest view of the football, while a place behind a goal gives you the experience people travel to Mestalla for in its final year. Buyers who want both should take the Avenida de Suecia towards a corner.
Anyone travelling with children or older relatives should avoid the upper Gol sections, since the gradient at Mestalla is steep by modern standards. For the wider matchday picture, our Estadio de Mestalla guide covers the ground and every fixture it hosts in its last season.
Atmosphere is at its loudest behind the goals, where the steep terracing traps the noise and sends it back across the pitch. Buyers who want to watch it rather than join it should pick a seat on the Avenida de Aragón towards the Gol Norte, which gives a clear view of the home end in full voice.
February evenings in Valencia are mild compared with northern Europe, but the open east side can feel cool once the sun goes down. A light jacket is enough for most buyers, while the covered main side offers shelter if rain is forecast.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Private box, main stand | Companies hosting groups | Enclosed space with dedicated service, high on the covered side |
| Hospitality lounge place | Client entertaining in small parties | Indoor lounge with Valencian catering, then a padded central seat |
| Main stand premium seat | Pairs marking a last visit | Central covered position with wider seating, without a full package |
| Group hospitality arrangement | Parties of six or more | Seats together in the premium areas with shared hosting |
Valencia's premium offer sits on the Avenida de Suecia, the covered main side, close to the halfway line. In a normal season, released corporate places reach resale steadily. This season, companies that would usually pass on a mid-table Sunday are using their allocation for every fixture, because there will be no more of them at this address.
Hospitality is also where seats together are easiest to find. Released member seats in the general bowl surface one by one, while hospitality packages keep a group side by side. Inclusions vary, so read each listing for food, drink and arrival times before you commit.
Arrival times vary by package and lounge guests are usually welcomed well before kick-off. Plan your journey around that time rather than the match itself, especially on a busy Sunday evening in the city centre.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF) | That the file displays clearly and matches the seat described in the listing |
| Mobile ticket | That the transfer opens on your phone and shows in the correct app before matchday |
| Paper ticket by courier | That your delivery address is correct and someone can sign for the envelope |
| Collection in Valencia | The meeting point, collection window and contact details in your order confirmation |
Read the listing notes before you pay, since they show the delivery method and any restriction on the seat. Bring valid photo ID in case stewards ask for it and charge your phone fully before you leave if you are using a mobile ticket.
Tickets for La Liga matches are often released to sellers close to matchday, so do not worry if yours arrive in the final week. Your order stays covered throughout and the delivery timeline appears in your confirmation email.
Mestalla sits close to the city centre. Metro Line 5 to Aragón station puts you alongside the stadium, several bus routes stop within a short walk and many hotels are close enough to walk. Access usually opens around two hours before kick-off and arriving early lets you see the ground fill.
After the final whistle, Aragón station fills quickly. Walking towards Avenida de Blasco Ibáñez or back into the centre is often quicker than queuing for the metro and the streets around the ground stay lively well into the evening.

Valencia Airport is linked to the city centre by metro in around 20 minutes and the city's main rail stations have high-speed connections to Madrid and Barcelona. Most visitors stay in the old town or around the Ruzafa district, both within easy reach of Mestalla.
E-tickets and mobile transfers suit anyone flying in the day before the match. Request seats together at the point of purchase if you travel as a group and give the seller the exact name and email you will use on the day. Because La Liga confirms kick-off times only a few weeks ahead, book flexible travel that covers the whole weekend of 12 to 14 February.
Gulf-based buyers can connect through Madrid or other European hubs and an 18:00 kick-off in Valencia is 21:00 in the UAE. Alavés supporters travelling from Vitoria-Gasteiz usually fly or take the train via Madrid, so booking early pays off on a busy weekend.
A February weekend in Valencia is a good time to visit. The weather is usually mild, the old town and the City of Arts and Sciences are easy to reach and the restaurants around Ruzafa make an evening kick-off part of a longer night out.
Valencia first hosted Alavés in the top flight in March 1932 and won 5-1, then won 5-2 the following season. The two met again in the 1950s, when Valencia won 6-1 at Mestalla in November 1954, still the widest margin in the fixture here alongside a 5-0 in May 1999.
The turn of the century belonged to an extraordinary Alavés side. They won 2-0 at Mestalla in September 1999 and 2-1 in April 2001, the latter in the season they reached the UEFA Cup final. Those wins came against a Valencia side that reached two Champions League finals and won the league in 2002, which shows how strong that Alavés team was.
Valencia's response came after Alavés returned to La Liga. The hosts won four home meetings in a row between September 2016 and October 2019, scoring ten goals and conceding four, before a 1-1 in April 2021 ended the run.
The modern era has been steadier for the hosts. Since Alavés returned in 2016, Valencia have won six of nine home meetings and lost only once, a 1-0 defeat in May 2024 in front of the fixture's record crowd. Last March's 3-2 win kept the balance firmly with Valencia.
What makes the fixture distinctive this season is the setting. A meeting that has produced goals, upsets and record crowds will be played at Mestalla for one of the last times. For buyers, that turns an ordinary Sunday into a piece of the stadium's final chapter.
There is a practical point as well. Once the Nou Mestalla opens, the old ground's steep ends and close sightlines will be gone for good and the new stadium's larger capacity is likely to change both atmosphere and ticket supply. Buyers who have always meant to see a match here have a limited number of dates left and this is one of them.
The figures below cover all 19 La Liga meetings at Mestalla with Valencia as hosts, from March 1932 to March 2026. Segunda División and Copa del Rey meetings are not included.

Split by era, the pattern is clear. Valencia won all four meetings before 1956, scoring 19 goals. Between 1999 and 2006 the record was much closer, with three Valencia wins, a draw and two Alavés wins. Since 2016 Valencia have won six of nine, with 19 goals for and ten against.
Goals have been plentiful. The 19 meetings have produced 69 goals, an average of more than three and a half a game and only one, in September 2001, has ended goalless. Neutral buyers can expect an open contest.
Valencia have scored in 16 of the 19 meetings and Alavés in 14. Alavés have won only three of the 19 and Valencia have lost just once at home to them since 2001, which shows how often the hosts have been in control at Mestalla across nearly a century of meetings.
Every La Liga game Valencia have hosted against Alavés, newest first. Scores are shown with Valencia first and every result sits within the same scope as the figures above.
