How to buy Copa del Rey 2026 semi-final tickets
To purchase tickets for either of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, the most reliable method is to go to the official ticket portals on the respective club sites.
You can also purchase tickets at the ticket offices within the stadiums, although it is advisable to buy them in advance to ensure availability.
Signing up to become a club member may also give you priority when looking to secure seats, especially for standout matches.
As expected, demand for semi-final tickets can be very high, with tickets often selling out through official channels far in advance of matchday. If they are sold out, or you're looking to snap up last-minute tickets, you may wish to consider secondary retailers such as StubHub.

The cheapest seats are to be found behind the goals, with the most expensive situated in the 'Tribuna' (grandstand).

What to expect from the Copa del Rey 2026 semi-finals?
Barcelona reigned supreme as domestic cup kings for a 32nd time in their illustrious history last April, but they will have to produce one of their most stellar performances ever if they are to clinch a place in their 44th Copa del Rey Final. Barca were torn apart by Atletico Madrid during the 1st leg of their semi-final encounter at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano earlier this month.
In an astonishing first half, Atletico slotted four past the defending champions, and they maintained that advantage to the final whistle. It's the Rojiblancos' biggest win over Barca since they recorded a similar 4-0 cup victory on home soil way back in 1989. Having exited the Copa del Rey at the semi-final stage at the hands of the Catalan giants twelve months ago, Diego Simeone's side will be desperate to finish the job at Camp Nou.
Barcelona may have a huge mountain to climb, but they won't have thrown in the towel just yet. They'll be hoping a fervent home crowd will drive them on, and if they can grab an early goal or two, it sets up an epic climax.
Things are much tighter in the other semi-final tie. Real Sociedad take just a single-goal advantage into their home leg against Basque rivals, Athletic Club, following the Txuri-Urdin's 1-0 victory at San Mames. While Bilbao have a strong cup pedigree having been crowned Copa del Rey champions 24, Real Sociedad have only lifted the trophy aloft on two previous occasions.
Last time the sides met at the Reale Arena in November, Sociedad came out on top in a five-goal La Liga clash. In a momentous match-up, Bilbao would battle back to equalise on two occasions before Jon Gorrotxategi settled the score with a dramatic 92nd minute for Sociedad.
