I'm taking the family to Barcelona, and my daughter's partner has a life-long dream to see Barca at Camp Nou. I have to admit, seeing Messi play in the home stadium sounds exciting.

From what I've been able to understand, the exact timing of the match (against Levante in early April) is not finalized until 10-14 days before the match (due to TV schedule changes on the desirability of the specific matches). That's fine - except that we leave on the Monday and that's a potential date if they shift the match time.

Am I correct that once the match time is set, some of the season ticket holders release their tickets for general sale, which opens seating possibilities?

Although I could purchase the tix today, since it's a non-trivial amount (for six people) and we have risk of not being in town for a match day, I think it is best to wait until the date is confirmed. Once the date is confirmed, is the best source to go right to the FC Barcelona site? Are there better local sources?

Appreciate any local insights from Spanish football fans. I also sent a PM to Paco Anton.

Thanks,

Don
