Included in the price

  • Match Ticket – Category 4, Santiago Bernabéu

    Official e-ticket to a Real Madrid home fixture, delivered digitally before matchday. Category 4 seat with a clear view of the pitch and the full atmosphere of one of the world's most recognisable football grounds.

  • Pre-Match Tapas with a Local Madridista

    A proper pre-match session at a neighbourhood taberna. Classic tapas, drinks, and conversation with a host who knows this club and this city in a way that no guided tour can replicate. It's where the experience actually begins.

  • A Matchday Guided by Someone Who Lives It

    Your host accompanies you from the taberna through to the stadium entrance, sharing the context, the history, and the rituals that make Madrid's football culture what it is. Bilingual, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the game.

  • Official E-Tickets, No Complications

    Your match ticket is official and delivered digitally to your device ahead of the game. Our team will confirm all details with you in the days before — you just show up.

What we will do in this experience

Live the Real Madrid Matchday Like a Local

Madrid has a particular energy on matchday. It builds slowly through the afternoon — in the bars around Chamartín, on the streets outside the ground, in the way the city quietly shifts gear before something big is about to happen. This experience is built around that energy, not just the 90 minutes inside the stadium.

It starts at a traditional neighbourhood taberna close to the ground. Your local host — a Madridista who has been doing this for years — will be there from the beginning. Tapas, drinks, football conversation. The kind of pre-match that locals actually have, not something assembled for tourists.

From there you’ll walk to the Bernabéu together, through the build-up and the noise outside the stadium, with everything already sorted. Your seat is in Category 4 — a solid, well-positioned section of the ground with a clear view of the full pitch and the atmosphere that makes this stadium what it is.

    Yesterday we went to watch Real Madrid vs Elche and everything went great! We witnessed a nice match with Madrid winning 4-1. This was our first time at Bernabeu stadium after renovations and the stadium is simply beautiful, you can clearly see how Real Madrid is pure class.

    We had a great time in Madrid! Ajinkya was a wonderful host for Real Madrid v Valencia and genuinely passionate. The tapas before the match and his local insights made the whole experience feel authentic and memorable. Also good seats in the stadium!

    Ajinkya fue un gran anfitrión para el partido del Real Madrid. Las tapas antes del juego estuvieron increíbles buena comida, ambiente local y muy buenas historias sobre el equipo y la ciudad. Gracias a él nos sentimos como entre amigos y no como turistas. ¡Una experiencia inolvidable!
