Woke up crazy early today, figured I’d nail those Mallorca vs Real Madrid tickets everyone’s after. Heard finding good seats at Son Moix is like finding gold, so started clicking around like a madman.
First stop was the obvious giant resale platform everyone talks about. Big mistake. Prices looked okay at first glance, but man, the fees! It was like buying a cheap sandwich then getting charged extra for the wrapping paper and the guy handing it to you. Almost choked seeing the final cost. Screw that noise. Needed something simpler, maybe direct.
Decided to peek at Real Madrid’s official site itself. Seemed smart, right? Found the game listing fast enough. Clicked “buy”… and nothing. Just kept spinning. Refreshed a dozen times. Still spinning. Guess they don’t like visitors early in the morning. Or maybe my Wi-Fi was being a jerk. Either way, wasted half an hour there.
Switched tactics. Went full detective mode, searching “Mallorca official tickets” in Spanish. Bingo. Hit the official club ticketing page. Felt way smoother, almost too quiet. No crazy lag, just a list of sections.
Here’s what worked for me:
- Timing is Everything: Logged in before sale time. Used the team’s official site – seems more stable than the away side for this matchup. Just sat there refreshing the ticket page constantly 10 mins before.
- Spotting the Good Seats: Didn’t panic grab the first thing. Scanned the stadium map hard. Sideline central areas were crazy expensive (no surprise). Found decent value slightly behind the goals, around Tribuna and Lateral sections. Higher rows give better views of the whole pitch.
- Checkout Sprint: The moment seats popped up? Click-Click-Click. Name, basic info, payment details – fingers flying. Remembered to UNcheck any pre-checked insurance boxes. They always sneak those in.
Got lucky around the 3rd refresh wave. Snagged just 1 ticket, damn things disappeared faster than free food at a party. Confirmation email hit my inbox maybe 15 seconds after paying. Phew! Sweet relief.
My gut says: For this specific clash? Skip the big-name resellers unless you like throwing money away on fees. Even a slightly off-center view directly through the club’s box office is a win. It’s cheaper, feels safer, and honestly, less of a headache than fighting those bigger platforms. Nailed it!
