Barcelona Says Ticketing Failure Hit 7,500 at Spotify Camp Nou

The club cited a slowdown in the new Espai Barça access system, with individual follow-up promised for roughly 300 who could not enter.

Overview

  • The club reported its access application slowed or crashed as supporters arrived, producing long queues at stadium gates and at the Office for Attention to Barcelonistas.
  • Vice president Elena Fort apologized and described the incident as a technology issue linked to implementing the new access system at the renovated venue.
  • The Office for Attention to Barcelonistas stopped printing physical tickets during the match and allowed entry upon presentation of a membership card or paper proof of membership.
  • Most affected socios gained entry later in the game, although the club estimated about 300 supporters did not get into the stadium.
  • The club said the member services office will reach out to those individuals one by one to establish what occurred and address their cases.
