How to buy Boca Juniors vs River Plate tickets?
Understanding access to the Superclásico requires understanding three institutional rules:
- Club Member Priority (Socios): Boca Juniors operates on a club membership system (Soy Socio). Match access is allocated to active members (socios activos) based on match attendance history (filtros).

Every attendee must present an official photo ID (national DNI for Argentines; original physical passport for foreign visitors) that matches the ticketing database at police checkpoints.
