Camp Nou is being rebuilt and reopened in phases. Capacity today is 62,652: the first and second tiers are in use, the third is closed and is being brought in section by section through the season. The best view currently available is therefore the second tier of the Lateral and Tribuna side stands, and which sections are open depends on the date of the match.
How the Stadium WorksCamp Nou has been under reconstruction since 2023 under the Espai Barça project, and the ground's formal name is Spotify Camp Nou. For two seasons Barcelona played away from home, at the Olympic Stadium on Montjuïc, which holds 55,926. The team came back to Camp Nou on 22 November 2025, for a match against Athletic Club, but not to the whole stadium.
The ground is being reopened in stages, as the city authorities license each section. Capacity today is 62,652: the first and second tiers are in use and the third is closed. From the end of September 2026 the club expects to open part of the third tier on the Lateral side, which would take capacity to around 70,000, and by the end of the year to add part of the Tribuna together with its boxes and approach 80,000. The project's final target is around 105,000.
There is one more date worth knowing in advance. Installation of the roof is scheduled to begin in June 2027 and to take four or five months, and the club has asked the league for permission to play the first half of the 2027/28 season on Montjuïc again. For matches in the autumn of next year, in other words, the venue may change once more.
The stand names at Camp Nou are Catalan, and they appear on tickets in that form. Tribuna is the main stand on the west side: the dugouts, the mouth of the tunnel, the boxes and the press seats are here, and the main television picture comes from this side. Lateral is the opposite side stand, to the east; it is the one the cameras face, and it gives the full sweep of play along the pitch.
Gol Nord and Gol Sud are the stands behind the north and south goals. They are steeper and cheaper than the sides, and most of the noise comes from them: singing at Camp Nou starts behind the goals rather than along the halfway line. Exactly where the active supporters' section sits this season, and where the away allocation goes, depends on which sections have been brought into use by the date of the match, so your concierge confirms the layout for each individual game.
In height Camp Nou has three tiers, named on tickets in Catalan. Primera Graderia is the first, lower tier, running right around the pitch. Segona Graderia is the second tier, at middle height; on the side stands it gives the familiar broadcast angle, where you see both the ball and the shape of both teams. Tercera Graderia is the third, upper tier, the highest and the steepest.
The third tier is precisely what is still being built. Today it is closed in full, and it will be brought into use in parts: the Lateral side first, then part of the Tribuna with its boxes. The practical conclusion is simple: this season the highest point you can actually watch a match from is the second tier, and any advice about the view from the very top does not apply to Camp Nou yet.
At an ordinary ground the layout is fixed, and the only question is which category is on sale. At Camp Nou there is a second question: which sections have been brought into service by the date of your match. Between a match in October and one in February the available part of the bowl can differ by a whole tier, and that is not a marketing caveat but the physical state of the building site.
That is why here we ask particularly insistently for a specific date rather than a season. A category that was open for the previous fixture may be unavailable for the next one, and the reverse is true too: each new phase brings sections into sale that did not exist before.
The general rule is the same as at any ground: the closer to the halfway line, the more evenly play reads; the higher up, the clearer the shape of the teams and the further from the emotion. At Camp Nou this season, though, that rule runs into the building work.
While the third tier is closed, the best view in the ground is from the second tier of the side stands, Lateral or Tribuna, towards the centre of the pitch: this is the height the television camera shoots from, and there is simply nowhere higher to go. The first tier along the touchline gives closeness and sound, but the bowl here is large and from the lower rows the far corner falls away at a marked angle. Behind the goals, in Gol Nord and Gol Sud, seats are taken for the atmosphere: the game is foreshortened from there, but the singing runs for the full ninety minutes.
We work with categories and stands rather than individual seats. At Camp Nou they map out like this. VIP is hospitality: a seat in a side stand plus a lounge or a box with catering before the match, at half-time and after the whistle. Premium is the central sections of the side stands, the best view without a separate area or catering. Category 1 is the side stands further from the centre and the second tier. Category 2 is the stands behind the goals and the back rows.
How the categories work at any stadium is explained in our article on football ticket categories. What a hospitality package includes and how it differs from an ordinary ticket is covered in the article on hospitality. A plan with the categories for a specific match at Camp Nou can be seen on the El Clasico page.
At any ground the club releases the seating closer to the match, and an honest seller cannot quote you a row and a seat in advance. At Camp Nou the building work adds to this: a whole section may appear in or vanish from sale depending on whether the licence for the next phase has been signed. We confirm the category and the stand at booking, and the section and the row are fixed when the club releases the seating. A seller who quotes a seat number at Camp Nou a month ahead is promising something neither they nor the club yet know. What else is worth checking before you pay is set out in our article on how to check a ticket reseller.
We arrange tickets for Barcelona's home matches through the La Liga hub: El Clasico on 25 October 2026 and Atlético on 7 February 2027 are there. European nights at Camp Nou run separately: Aston Villa on 3 November 2026 and Manchester City on 8 December 2026. Name the match and the number of guests, and your concierge confirms which sections are in service and open for that date.
Kick-off dates and times can move at the broadcasters' request. Which sections are in service and open for a specific date is confirmed by your concierge before payment.
Short answers to the questions LuxTicket clients ask before a Barcelona match at Camp Nou. The ground is being rebuilt, so the sections available depend on the date and are confirmed by your concierge before payment.
62,652. The first and second tiers are open and the third is still closed. From the end of September 2026 the club expects to bring part of the third tier on the Lateral side into use and reach around 70,000, and by the end of the year to add part of the Tribuna with its boxes and approach 80,000. The project's final target is around 105,000.
Yes, the team returned on 22 November 2025 with a match against Athletic Club. Before that Barcelona played two seasons at the Olympic Stadium on Montjuïc, which holds 55,926.
Not as things stand. The third tier is still being completed and is being brought into use in parts, section by section, as licences are granted: the Lateral side first, then part of the Tribuna with its boxes. This season, therefore, the highest available point is the second tier.
While the third tier is closed, the best view is from the second tier of the Lateral or Tribuna side stands towards the centre of the pitch: this is the height the television camera shoots from, and there is nowhere higher to go at present. The first tier along the touchline gives closeness and sound; the stands behind the goals are taken for the atmosphere.
Tribuna is the main west stand with the dugouts and boxes, Lateral is the opposite side stand, and Gol Nord and Gol Sud are the stands behind the north and south goals. The tiers are named Primera, Segona and Tercera Graderia.
It is possible. Installation of the roof is scheduled to begin in June 2027 and to take four or five months, and the club has asked the league for permission to play the first half of the 2027/28 season on Montjuïc again. This does not affect matches in the 2026/27 season.
No. The club releases the seating closer to the match, and at Camp Nou the building work adds to this: a section may appear in or vanish from sale along with the next phase. We confirm the category and the stand at booking; the section and the row are fixed later.
