I joined the PUB so that I could get alternative news and views on all things Barcelona FC. I am a Scottish Barca/Rangers fan living in West Yorkshire so the web and Sky have been my only sources until now.
I have a target this year that I want to achieve and that is to celebrate a very special birthday for my wife at Camp Nou by taking her and my youngest son to the Real Sociedad game in December. Any suggestions on how to make this happen would be very welcome.

Welcome to the PUB. You will find plenty of advice about trips, some already in the travel section but if you have particular questions, feel free to post them and I am sure they will be answered. Nearly all our members have been at some point and some are even regulars at the Camp Nou so there is plenty of advice out there.

Welcome to the penya, as Brad said above there are quite a few of us over in Barcelona (Barna) on a regular basis so this is exactly the right place for getting help with a planned trip in December.

The most obvious thing to say, and the one that gives us the most trouble, is that the kick-off times are not confirmed until around 10 days (if you are lucky) in advance so if you are booking ahead you need to ensure that you are there Saturday and Sunday nights.

Welcome to the forum

I would suggest getting tickets asap, as it sometimes difficult to get as many as 3 together. Always buy through official channels unless you're really desperate.

As well as advice on everything match related, there is a huge wealth of knowledge and experience on here for places to go/see/eat etc. So don't be afraid to ask anything.

Thanks for the welcome fellas. Much appreciated!
I haven't tried to buy tickets yet other than going on the official FCBarcelona.cat web site.
Struggled so far to get anything. I'll try the Ticketing forums for tips.
