2026 Copa del Rey Final Tickets: Dates, Prices & How to Get Yours at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano

Heads up, Atlético faithful! You can feel the excitement building. Atlético de Madrid are back in a Copa del Rey final, and the scramble for Copa del Rey 2026 final tickets has well and truly begun. Ever since the team secured their place, everyone's asking the same thing: how, when, and where can I get my hands on a ticket to witness this historic event live? Don't worry, we've got you covered with the ultimate guide featuring all the details. And here's a key point: the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium is going to be so much more than just our home ground during this time.

Where and when is the big event?

While the Federation has chosen Seville's La Cartuja Stadium for the final, as has become customary, the heart of our fanbase will be pounding strongly back in Madrid. Barring any last-minute changes (which aren't expected), the date is circled in red on the calendar: Saturday, 18th of April. But make no mistake, the epicentre of the red-and-white fever will have a clear address: the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. A large part of the logistics to help members and supporters' club members get their seats will be managed right there.

How the ticket allocation works: The Metropolitano as the central hub

As tradition dictates for major finals, the Copa del Rey 2026 final tickets are split into three main batches. A significant portion goes to the Federation (for institutional commitments, sponsors, and a public ballot), and the rest is divided equally between the two finalists. For us, the important part is the allocation for Atlético. And this is where the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium takes centre stage. Information circulating in football circles suggests the club aims to streamline the process as much as possible to avoid chaos.

• Members and season ticket holders first: The club will give top priority to long-standing members and this season's season ticket holders. Official communication will go out via the app and website, but any in-person tasks (collecting tickets, queries, etc.) will be centralised at the ticket offices of the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. Keep a close eye on your email, as the deadlines will be tight.
• Supporters' clubs and organised groups: The celebration just isn't the same without the peñas. The club will reserve a special allocation for them, and coordination will also go through the stadium. It's expected that the Riyadh Air Metropolitano will host a big pre-final meeting for members of these groups to organise travel to Seville and stadium entry.
• General public and open sale: If you're not a member, all hope is not lost. The Federation usually opens an online sales window for any unallocated tickets. But be warned, demand will be absolutely massive. My advice: have your card details ready and your fingers poised, because they'll be gone in a flash.

How much is this party going to cost?

This is where things get a bit tricky, but based on rumours and comparisons with previous finals, we can expect a price range starting from around €60-€70 for the ends (north and south goals at La Cartuja) up to €200-plus for the main stand. Of course, the club will try to keep prices as reasonable as possible for its members, but the resale market (which is illegal and risky) could see prices skyrocket. Be wary of any 'miracle' deals or requests for payment through unusual channels. The safe route is always to stick to the official channels, which will ultimately lead you back to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium or the Federation's website.

The Metropolitano: Your Plan B if you miss out on a ticket

And here's something many of us seasoned fans are already counting on. For everyone who can't make the trip to Seville or couldn't snag that golden ticket, the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium is gearing up for an epic day out. There's talk of setting up giant screens outside and creating fan zones to watch the final live, making you feel like you're right there in the stands. So, even if you don't have a ticket for La Cartuja, the place to be is the Metropolitano. Grab your scarf, soak up the atmosphere, and experience the match with your fellow fans. Because at the end of the day, it's all about feeling the colours, wherever you are.

In short: stay glued to the club's and the Federation's official channels, get your wallet ready, and above all, keep the faith. Copa del Rey 2026 final tickets are the most sought-after prize this April, and with a bit of luck and this guide, some of you might just be able to say you were there. And for those who can't? You know the drill: we'll see you at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium to get ready to roar as one. Let's go for the twentieth!
