Buy Valencia tickets for the 2026/27 season and there is a reasonable chance you are buying into the last full campaign at Mestalla. Construction on the Nou Mestalla resumed on 10 January 2025 after years of dormancy, the club is targeting a move in the summer of 2027 and the new ground is designed for 70,044 seats under a translucent roof.

Mestalla opened on 20 May 1923 with a friendly against Levante and it is the steepest stadium in Europe, with the upper tier rising at around 34 degrees. It holds 49,430. Whatever the Nou Mestalla turns out to be, it will not be that, and supporters who have never seen a match in the old ground are running out of seasons to do it.
On the pitch, Carlos Corberán has kept the job after a recovery that few saw coming. Valencia were seventeenth on 23 points after 23 matches last season and finished ninth on 49, taking 26 points from the final fifteen games. This page covers what seats cost, which fixtures clear first, how a stadium this steep actually works and what the squad looks like.
Valencia sell to their abonados first and the season pass base fills a large share of a 49,430-seat ground. What follows on general sale is usually workable for a routine La Liga fixture, and Valencia is one of the more accessible major-club tickets in Spain for a visitor prepared to plan a few weeks out.
Four or five dates behave completely differently. Barcelona and Real Madrid at Mestalla draw national demand into a stadium that is large by Spanish standards but not large enough for those fixtures. The Derbi del Túria against Levante returns to the calendar with both clubs in the top flight, and it is the fixture the city cares about most.
A verified resale marketplace covers both cases. For the ordinary fixtures it removes the friction of a Spanish-language club sale for someone booking from abroad. For the derby and the elite visitors it gives you access to seats released by pass holders, appearing on a rolling basis rather than in one window that closes before most people have seen it.
1BoxOffice has operated as a verified secondary marketplace since 2006, which covers the 2004 league and UEFA Cup double, both relegation scares and the Copa del Rey final of 2022. Listings come from sellers whose inventory is checked before it goes live, and the transaction is covered rather than left to trust between strangers.
Valencia is Spain's third city and a heavily visited one, and a great many people build a match at Mestalla into a trip. A failed ticket is not recoverable on the day, particularly for a ground that may not be hosting La Liga football much longer.
Valencia have won six league titles and eight Copas del Rey and reached two consecutive Champions League finals in 2000 and 2001. None of that is recent, and the ground still fills, which tells you the relationship between this club and this city does not run on results.
It has not run on contentment either. Supporters have protested against Peter Lim's ownership repeatedly, and roughly 8,000 marched through the city in May 2026 after another season without European qualification. The demand drivers below include that, because it is part of what a matchday at Mestalla currently is.
The result is a ground that is genuinely obtainable for most of the calendar and difficult for a handful of dates, in a city where a significant share of any crowd came for other reasons and added the football.
Valencia price across a wide band, which reflects a large stadium with substantial differences between areas. The floor at Mestalla for a midweek fixture against mid-table opposition is among the more reasonable in Spanish football for a club of this history, and the ceiling for Barcelona or Real Madrid is a long way above it.
The steepness is the thing that makes position matter here more than at most grounds. The upper tier at 34 degrees delivers a view of the whole pitch that lower-bowl seats cannot match, while the lower Tribuna puts you close enough to hear the players. Neither is objectively better and the price difference reflects demand rather than quality.
Valencia tickets for the Derbi del Túria sit in their own category. Levante's return to La Liga makes this the first league derby in the city for several seasons, the away allocation is fixed and both sets of supporters have been waiting for it.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| La Liga, standard fixtures | £20 – £100 |
| La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid | £80 – £400+ |
| Derbi del Túria against Levante | £100 – £500+ |
| Copa del Rey | £20 – £120 |
| Hospitality and VIP | £250 – £1,000+ |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
Yes, and at Mestalla the answer is more straightforward than at most Spanish clubs. The abono is a season pass rather than a membership carrying voting rights, and single-match seats reach general sale for every fixture once the pass holders' window closes. In a 49,430-seat ground that pool is meaningful.
The exceptions are the ones you would expect. Barcelona, Real Madrid and the Levante derby exhaust general sale quickly, and a visitor relying on catching that window from another country is relying on timing they cannot control. Copa del Rey ties against top-flight opposition behave similarly.
The secondary market removes the timing problem. A pass holder who cannot attend releases the seat and it becomes available to anyone, with no Spanish address and no membership number. Given that Mestalla may be hosting top-flight football for only one more full season, that route matters more this year than it usually would.
Valencia's season pass base has survived a decade that would have broken most of them. Two relegation scares, a sequence of coaches, a Copa final lost on penalties and an ownership dispute that has produced repeated street protests have not emptied the ground, and renewal levels have held throughout.
The abono carries an additional question this season that it has not carried before. Pass holders are renewing for a stadium the club intends to leave in 2027, and the relocation exercise that follows will be the largest in the club's history. How seats transfer to the Nou Mestalla has been a live topic in the city for two years.
| Abono Area | Typical Season Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Gol Norte and Gol Sur, upper | £150 – £260 |
| Gol Norte and Gol Sur, lower | £220 – £340 |
| Lateral, upper | £300 – £450 |
| Lateral, lower | £400 – £580 |
| Tribuna, central | £550 – £900 |
Ranges are indicative of recent campaigns, set by the club and converted from euros. They are included as context on what a released seat represents to the person releasing it, particularly in a season where a pass carries a claim on what comes next.
Mestalla is the steepest major stadium in Europe and that single fact governs every seating decision. The upper tier climbs at roughly 34 degrees, close to the 37-degree limit the governing bodies allow, which means the view from the top is extraordinary and the climb to reach it is not for everybody.
| Stand or Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribuna, central | The clearest view of the match | Highest | Main stand on the halfway line, covered, with the directors' area, the media positions and the hospitality within it. |
| Lateral, lower | Proximity to the pitch | High to mid | Close to the touchline on the opposite side. The most contested general-sale area because the sightline is comparable to the Tribuna at a lower price. |
| Lateral, upper | Elevation and the full picture | Mid | The steep tier. A remarkable perspective on the game and a genuine climb to reach the back rows, which is worth knowing before you book. |
| Gol Norte | Noise and organised support | Lower | Behind the goal where the singing concentrates. Standing-style support throughout and the section that drives the atmosphere. |
| Gol Sur | Behind the goal without the intensity | Lowest | The calmer end. Families and older supporters gather here and the price reflects the angle rather than the quality of the seat. |
| Upper corners | Availability when nothing else exists | Lower | High, steep and distant from one goal, but often the only inventory left for Barcelona or the derby. |
Valencia's away support travels in numbers that reflect a club of this size and a region with a strong football culture. The Valencian Community fixtures are short journeys and clear immediately, and this season there are three of them with Levante and Elche both in the division.
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Typical away allocation | Around 5% of the host stadium's capacity, adjusted by the home club and the local safety authority. Larger for the regional fixtures, smaller where a flight is involved. |
| Where you will be sitting | Upper-tier corner or end blocks at most La Liga grounds. Segregation is standard and the block is set by the host rather than chosen by the buyer. |
| Access requirements | Spain has no national away-supporter card. Photo ID matching the ticket name is requested at several grounds, and clubs restrict certain high-risk away fixtures to their own members. |
| The regional fixtures | Levante is a short journey across the city, Villarreal around an hour up the coast and Elche about two hours south. All three clear among Valencia's own support before any wider release. |
| Getting there | Valencia sits on the high-speed line to Madrid and has an airport with wide European coverage. Barcelona is three hours by road and most of Spain is reachable in a day. |
At a ground this steep the choice is unusually consequential. The difference between the lower Lateral and the top of the upper tier is not a matter of a slightly better angle, it is two genuinely different ways of watching a football match.
| What You Want | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Atmosphere | Gol Norte, lower | Where the organised support gathers behind the goal with flags and drums. Standing-style throughout and the source of the noise for the rest of the ground. |
| View of the match | Lateral, upper | The steepest tier in European football gives you the whole pitch laid out beneath you. For anyone who watches the shape of a game rather than the ball, this beats the main stand. |
| Family-friendly | Gol Sur or the lower Tribuna wings | Calmer sections with easier access, which matters at a stadium where the upper tiers involve a serious climb. |
| Premium experience | Hospitality within the Tribuna | Catering, lounge access and a covered central seat. The facilities are those of a 1923 ground upgraded in stages rather than a modern build. |
| Lower-priced option | Gol Sur upper or the corners | The bottom of the range at a club whose entry-level pricing is more reasonable than most in this division. |
Mestalla opened on 20 May 1923 with a friendly against Levante and held 17,000. It reached 25,000 within four years and 60,000 by the 1950s, was badly damaged when the Turia burst its banks in 1957 and reopened with floodlights during the Fallas of 1959. It now holds 49,430, which makes it the eighth largest ground in Spain and the largest in the Valencian Community.
The defining feature is the pitch of the stands. Mestalla is widely regarded as the steepest stadium in Europe, with the upper tier rising at approximately 34 degrees against a regulatory limit of 37. The effect from the back of that tier is of looking almost straight down onto the pitch, and it is the reason a ground of this age still produces an atmosphere that newer and larger stadiums struggle to match.
It has hosted a great deal. Matches at the 1982 World Cup, five at the 1992 Olympics including the final in which Spain took gold, ten Copa del Rey finals and a Nations League quarter-final in 2025. Four of those Copa finals were between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which is not a distinction many grounds outside Madrid can claim. Fixtures are listed on the Estadio Mestalla tickets page.
The replacement has been coming for nineteen years. Work on the Nou Mestalla began in 2007, stopped in 2009 when the club ran out of money and left a concrete shell on the northern edge of the city for well over a decade. Construction resumed on 10 January 2025 with Fenwick Iribarren Architects and FCC Construcción appointed, and the club is targeting a move in the summer of 2027 into a 70,044-seat stadium with a translucent roof covering every seat and more than 6,500 hospitality places.
Whether that timetable holds is a question Valencian supporters have learned to treat with caution. What is not in doubt is that the club intends to leave, and that a ground which has staged football for more than a century is on a countdown. Block layouts are set out on the Mestalla seating plan.
Getting there could hardly be simpler. Mestalla sits on Avinguda de Suècia in the middle of the city, with metro stations at Araón and Facultats-Manuel Broseta within a short walk and a dozen bus routes serving the surrounding streets. The walk from the centre takes twenty to twenty-five minutes. Pre-match happens in the bars of the surrounding blocks rather than at the stadium, which is what tends to happen when a ground sits inside a residential district rather than beside a motorway.
Hospitality at Mestalla occupies the Tribuna and reflects the building's age. The facilities have been upgraded in stages across a century rather than designed in one go, and the product is comfortable rather than lavish. The Nou Mestalla is being built with more than 6,500 hospitality seats, which indicates how far the club considers the current provision short.
Packages reach the resale market in smaller numbers than standard seating, since corporate holders release less often than individual pass holders. The ranges below reflect what they typically cost when they do appear.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seating | Padded central seat in the Tribuna with lounge access before the match and at half time. | £250 – £400 |
| Hospitality with dining | Full pre-match meal, drinks throughout and a covered central seat in the main stand. | £350 – £600 |
| Private box | Enclosed box within the Tribuna with hosted service, usually sold by the season rather than by the match. | £500 – £900+ |
| Derby and elite-visitor hospitality | The same packages for Levante, Barcelona or Real Madrid, released in small numbers and priced accordingly. | £600 – £1,400+ |
The process takes a few minutes and works the same way for a routine fixture as for the derby. What differs is how long the inventory lasts, and for four or five dates a season that window is short.
Step1
Find the fixture
Work from the home and away lists at the foot of this page rather than searching by date. Each fixture has its own page, so you land on the inventory for that specific match instead of a general listing.
Step2
Set up your account
You can create an account before browsing or at checkout. Doing it first is faster when a fixture is moving, and your delivery details are stored ready for when the right seats appear.
Step3
Choose your tier carefully
This matters more at Mestalla than anywhere else in Spain. The upper Lateral rises at around 34 degrees, which gives an exceptional view and a demanding climb. If stairs are a consideration, the lower bowl is the sensible choice.
Step4
Read the listing properly
Check the block, row and any note about cover, restricted view or seating together. Mestalla is a century-old ground with pillars in places and cover that varies by area, so the description is worth the thirty seconds.
Step5
Confirm the quantity
Sellers list in set quantities and splitting a pair is not always possible. If you need four seats together, filter for four rather than assuming two listings of two will place you next to each other.
Step6
Check the total before you commit
The checkout shows the full amount including fees and delivery before payment. Compare that figure across listings rather than the headline seat price, which is where the meaningful difference usually sits.
Step7
Pay securely
Checkout runs over an SSL-encrypted connection and the 150% money-back guarantee attaches at the point the order is confirmed. Written confirmation follows immediately.
Step8
Follow it through to delivery
Use the track order page to follow the status through to the tickets reaching you. For fixtures booked months out, tickets are often released closer to the date, which is normal rather than a problem.
For the derby and the two Madrid visits, having an account ready and a tier chosen in advance is worth more than checkout speed, because those fixtures turn on whether inventory exists at the moment you look.
Most of the calendar at Mestalla is obtainable with a few weeks' notice, which is unusual among the larger Spanish clubs. A handful of dates are not, and this season the list is longer than it has been for a while.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| The Derbi del Túria against Levante | Back on the league calendar with Levante in the top flight. Mestalla's first ever match in 1923 was against Levante and the fixture has been contested across a divided city ever since. Both sets of supporters have waited several seasons for it. |
| Barcelona and Real Madrid | The two visits that draw national and international demand into a 49,430-seat ground. General sale clears quickly and resale becomes the route for anyone without an abono. |
| The final season at Mestalla | If the summer 2027 target holds, every fixture this season is one of the last at a ground that opened in 1923. That is producing demand from neutrals and groundhoppers that Valencia would not usually see. |
| Copa del Rey ties from the last sixteen | Eight Copa titles and a competition Valencia take seriously. Corberán's side reached the quarter-finals last season, and a home draw against a Champions League club sells beyond the round's usual profile. |
| The closing weeks | Valencia have finished ninth, twelfth, ninth and fourteenth across the last four seasons and have twice been in relegation trouble in that time. When the final month carries weight, pass holders stop releasing seats. |
The delivery method is stated on every listing before you buy. Check it at the point of purchase rather than afterwards, particularly if you are travelling from outside Spain and postal delivery would not reach you in time.
Gates open well before kick-off and the crowd arrives on foot from the surrounding blocks and off the metro, which spreads the approach. Thirty to forty minutes ahead is enough for a league fixture. If you are in the upper tier, add ten minutes for the climb, which is steeper and longer than it looks from the concourse.
Entry is by scanning at the turnstile and the gate printed on your ticket corresponds to your block. Check it before you leave, because Mestalla is wedged into a residential grid and the outside route between stands is not intuitive. Photo ID matching the booking name is worth carrying, particularly for the derby, where checks are applied more strictly.
Small bags and handbags are permitted subject to search at the gate. Large rucksacks are refused and there is no storage at the stadium, so anything that will not fit under your seat should stay at the hotel. Bottles, cans, glass, flares and pyrotechnics are prohibited, along with professional cameras carrying detachable lenses. Sealed water bottles under half a litre are generally accepted.

Valencia are one of only five Spanish clubs to have won the league more than twice and one of only four to have reached a European Cup final. They have also spent the last decade in a state of institutional argument that has spilled into the streets of the city more than once. Both things are true and neither explains the other away.
The 1940s were the making of the club. Three league titles in six years, two Copas and a centre-forward in Mundo who scored 238 goals for Valencia and remains the record holder by a distance. The side of that decade is still the benchmark against which everything at this club is measured, which is a heavy thing to hang on players eighty years later.
Two Fairs Cups in the early 1960s gave Valencia a European record before most Spanish clubs had one, and the Cup Winners' Cup of 1980 was won on penalties in Brussels against an Arsenal side containing Liam Brady. Mario Kempes led the line for much of that period, arriving as a World Cup winner and leaving as one of the most popular players the club has had.
Five years that produced two league titles, a UEFA Cup and two Champions League finals lost in successive seasons, the second on penalties in Milan after Gaizka Mendieta had scored from the spot inside three minutes. The 2003/04 double under Benítez is the high point of the modern club, and the manager who delivered it left for Liverpool that summer. Nothing since has approached it.
The Copa del Rey of 2019 was won against Barcelona in the club's hundredth year and it remains the last trophy. What has dominated the period since is the ownership dispute, with supporters protesting repeatedly against Meriton and roughly 8,000 marching through the city in May 2026 after another season without European qualification. The floods of October 2024 killed more than two hundred people across the region and stopped football entirely for a period; the club and its supporters were heavily involved in the response.
| Legend | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edmundo Suárez, Mundo | Forward, 1939 to 1950 | Scored 238 goals for Valencia across eleven seasons and remains the club's record scorer by a wide margin. Won the Pichichi in consecutive years with 27 and 28 goals and took three league titles as a player. Later returned to manage the club twice. | 238 goals and two Pichichi awards |
| Fernando Gómez Colomer | Midfielder, 1980s and 1990s | Played more matches for Valencia than anyone in the club's history across a career spent almost entirely at Mestalla, through relegation, promotion and the recovery that followed. The one-club standard every academy graduate here is measured against. | 553 appearances, a club record |
| Mario Kempes | Forward, two spells from 1976 | Arrived from Argentina, won consecutive Pichichi awards and became the most popular foreign player the club has had, taking the Cup Winners' Cup in 1980 in between winning a World Cup with Argentina. The stand-alone figure of the club's second European period. | The 1979 Copa del Rey and the 1980 Cup Winners' Cup |
| Gaizka Mendieta | Midfielder, 1992 to 2001 | Captained the side that reached consecutive Champions League finals and scored the opening goal from the penalty spot inside three minutes of the 2001 final against Bayern Munich. Named the competition's outstanding midfielder in consecutive years and the player who defined Valencia's two-year run at the top of Europe. | Two Champions League finals |
| Rafael Benítez | Head coach, 2001 to 2004 | Won two league titles in three seasons at a club that had not won one for thirty years before he arrived, and added the UEFA Cup and the Super Cup in 2004. The most successful spell any coach has had at Valencia in the modern era. | Two La Liga titles and the 2004 UEFA Cup |
| José Gayà | Left-back and captain, since 2012 | Came through the academy, stayed through relegation scares, ownership disputes and a decade of instability when several better-paid options were available elsewhere. Sits ninth in the all-time appearance list on 376 and will climb it further this season. | 376 appearances and the 2019 Copa del Rey |
Valencia have won six league titles, eight Copas del Rey and four European trophies, which places them among the most decorated clubs in Spanish football. The counts below have been cross-referenced against club publications and independent football records.
| Competition | Titles |
|---|---|
| La Liga | 6, in 1941/42, 1943/44, 1946/47, 1970/71, 2001/02 and 2003/04 |
| Copa del Rey | 8, most recently in 2019 |
| Inter-Cities Fairs Cup | 2, in 1962 and 1963 |
| UEFA Cup Winners' Cup | 1, in 1980 |
| UEFA Cup | 1, in 2004 |
| UEFA Super Cup | 2, in 1980 and 2004 |
| UEFA Champions League | Runners-up in 2000 and 2001 |
The two Champions League finals came in consecutive seasons and were lost to Real Madrid and then Bayern Munich, the second on penalties. No Spanish club outside the two largest has reached the final in successive years since, and it remains the closest Valencia have come to the trophy that would complete the cabinet.
Valencia have a city derby that has been dormant and is now back, a regional rivalry that grew out of nothing and two European opponents on opposite sides of a penalty shoot-out. The first of those is the one the city has been waiting for.
The Derbi del Túria, named for the river that runs through the city, and a fixture that has been absent from the league calendar for several seasons while Levante moved between divisions. Mestalla's first ever match, on 20 May 1923, was a friendly against Levante, which tells you how far back the relationship goes. Levante are the older club by a decade and the smaller one by every other measure, and the derby is fought over exactly that gap. Its return to La Liga is the single most anticipated fixture on this season's calendar in Valencia.
The Valencian Community fixture that has changed character completely. Villarreal come from a town of around 50,000 and were a third-division side within living memory, and they have since become a Champions League club and a Europa League winner while Valencia have gone the other way. That reversal is what gives the meeting its edge from Mestalla's side, and it is a comparatively recent rivalry that neither club would have recognised thirty years ago.
The opponent in the last trophy Valencia won. The 2019 Copa del Rey final finished 2-1 to Valencia at the Benito Villamarín in Seville, in the club's centenary year and against a Barcelona side that had won the league by eleven points. Kevin Gameiro and Rodrigo scored. It remains the most recent thing this club has lifted and the fixture carries that memory in a way the league table does not suggest.
The club that took the Champions League from Valencia on penalties. The 2001 final in Milan finished 1-1 after Gaizka Mendieta scored from the spot inside three minutes and Bayern equalised from theirs, and the shoot-out went 5-4 to the Germans. It was Valencia's second final in consecutive seasons after losing 3-0 to Real Madrid in Paris the year before, and no Spanish club outside the two largest has reached the final in successive years since.
The other side of the same coin, twenty-one years earlier. Valencia beat Arsenal on penalties to win the 1980 European Cup Winners' Cup at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels after a goalless 120 minutes, with both Mario Kempes and Liam Brady missing from the spot before Valencia took it 5-4. It is one of four European trophies in the cabinet and the only one won in a shoot-out, which makes the pair of results with Bayern a neat and painful symmetry.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021/22 | Ninth in La Liga and a Copa del Rey final, lost to Real Betis on penalties at La Cartuja on 23 April after a 1-1 draw. It was the closest Valencia have come to a trophy since the 2019 Copa, and the league campaign around it never threatened the European places. |
| 2022/23 | Fourteenth on 42 points from eleven wins, nine draws and eighteen defeats, scoring 42 and conceding 45. Survival was not settled until the closing weeks and the season was among the most difficult of the Meriton era, with the atmosphere around the club deteriorating sharply. |
| 2023/24 | Ninth, a considerable improvement built on a young side drawn heavily from the academy. The squad was among the least expensive in the division and finished above several clubs spending multiples of its wage bill, which was read in the city as evidence of what the academy could do rather than of what the ownership had provided. |
| 2024/25 | Twelfth on 46 points after a season that began in the relegation places. Carlos Corberán arrived in December with Valencia bottom of the table and delivered survival with room to spare. The campaign was interrupted by the DANA floods of late October, which killed more than two hundred people across the region and stopped football in the Valencian Community. |
| 2025/26 | Ninth on 49 points from thirteen wins, ten draws and fifteen defeats, scoring 46 and conceding 55. Valencia were seventeenth on 23 points after 23 matches and took 26 points from the final fifteen, one of the strongest closing runs in the division. Hugo Duro led the scoring and the side reached the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. |
Corberán begins a second full season with a squad assembled on a modest budget and built around players the academy produced. Javi Guerra is the outstanding one, a central midfielder who has been linked with larger clubs for two seasons, and José Gayà captains a side that also contains César Tárrega and Jesús Vázquez from the same source.
The summer was modest by design. Guido Rodríguez arrived from West Ham to add experience in midfield, Aliou Dieng came from Al-Ahly, Justin de Haas from Famalicão and Ryunosuke Sato from FC Tokyo. Thierry Correia left for Venezia, Eray Cömert for Torino and Baptiste Santamaria for PAOK. The net spend was around 2.25 million euros.

Squad numbers reflect the registrations published at the start of the campaign and are marked where a new arrival had not been allocated one. The academy supplies more of this first team than at almost any club in the division, which at Valencia is treated by supporters as the one thing the current ownership has not been able to spoil.
Possibly. Construction on the Nou Mestalla resumed on 10 January 2025 and the club is targeting a move in the summer of 2027, which would make 2026/27 the final full campaign at the old ground. Valencian supporters treat that timetable with caution, given the project stalled once before for more than a decade.
The upper tier rises at around 34 degrees, against a regulatory ceiling of 37. From the back rows you look almost straight down onto the pitch. It gives the ground an atmosphere that flatter modern stadiums cannot reproduce, and it means the climb to the top is a genuine one.
The city derby against Levante, named after the river running through Valencia. It has been off the league calendar while Levante moved between divisions and returns this season. Mestalla's opening match in May 1923 was against Levante, so the fixture is as old as the ground itself.
Easily. The ground sits on Avinguda de Suècia inside the city rather than on its edge, with metro stations at Araón and Facultats-Manuel Broseta a short walk away and around a dozen bus routes serving the surrounding streets. The walk from the centre takes twenty to twenty-five minutes.
The Copa del Rey in 2019, beating Barcelona 2-1 in the club's centenary year. The last league title was 2003/04 under Rafael Benítez, a season in which Valencia also won the UEFA Cup, and the last European trophy came in that same campaign.
A club with six league titles and two Champions League finals behind it, playing out what may be its final full season in the steepest stadium in Europe, is worth a trip to Spain's third city while the ground is still standing. 1BoxOffice has been a verified marketplace for live event tickets since 2006, with every order carrying a 150% money-back guarantee.
