Where to buy Al-Hilal vs Al-Ittihad tickets?
To purchase Saudi Pro League match tickets, the most reliable method is to go to the official league site, where you can navigate to the ‘Fixture/Tickets' section under the ‘Matches’ tab.
Matchweeks are usually staged across three days, the majority of which run from Thursday to Saturday to coincide with the Saudi weekend (Friday and Saturday) and tickets are usually released a couple of weeks before each match.
While official club and league websites often handle initial ticket releases, secondary ticketing platforms such as StubHub can also come in handy, especially for high-demand matches like this derby.
How much are Al-Hilal vs Al-Ittihad tickets?
Ticket prices for the Al-Hilal vs Al-Ittihad match can vary significantly based on demand, seating location, and the platform of purchase.
For a derby of this magnitude, expect prices to be higher than an average Saudi Pro League match, which typically ranges from SAR50-100.
While $43 is the current cheapest option, prices can quickly escalate for more desirable sections. For instance, prime seating or hospitality packages could command prices well into the hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
To secure the best possible price, especially the most affordable tickets, we recommend checking listings regularly.
When are Al-Hilal vs Al-Ittihad tickets released?
Tickets for high-profile matches like the Saudi El Clásico are usually released in phases. While the initial general sale often occurs weeks or even months in advance through official club channels or the Saudi Pro League website, secondary marketplaces like StubHub become invaluable once these initial allocations sell out or for fans looking for specific seating options.
- Pre-sale Information: Official pre-sales, if any, would have been conducted by the clubs (Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad) or the Saudi Pro League for season ticket holders or registered members. These typically happen well before the public sale and usually sell out quickly due to the immense popularity of both teams.
- General Sale Information: The general sale window, where tickets are released to the wider public by official channels, would also likely have passed for this rescheduled fixture. Your best bet now is to monitor reputable secondary marketplaces.
- Hospitality Information: For premium experiences, including VIP access, private suites, and inclusive food and drink packages, these tickets are usually offered directly by the venue, clubs, or specialized sports hospitality providers. Check Al-Hilal’s official website or the Kingdom Arena website for any direct hospitality offerings.
