Where to buy King Abdullah Sports City tickets?
Securing your tickets for matches at King Abdullah Sports City involves navigating official club platforms and reputable resale marketplaces.
Official primary ticket retailers for the Saudi Pro League include the Webook platform, which serves as the centralized hub for most major sporting events in the Kingdom.
Additionally, clubs like Al-Ittihad often sell tickets through their own official apps or dedicated portals.
For high-demand fixtures, such as the Jeddah Derby or matches against Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, official tickets often sell out within minutes. In these cases, you may want to look to secondary ticket retailers. Platforms such as SeatPick and Ticombo offer a reliable way to secure seats for sold-out games, allowing you to witness the Saudi football fever live.
How much are King Abdullah Sports City tickets?

- VIP & Hospitality: For those seeking a luxury experience, VIP boxes and Silver/Gold lounges can range from SAR 1,500 to over SAR 5,000, depending on the fixture and catering inclusions.
- Secondary ticket markets: For marquee events, prices on platforms like SeatPick and Ticombo reflect market demand. While they can sometimes be higher than face value, they offer a guaranteed entry for fans traveling from abroad who missed the initial sale.
Always check multiple platforms to compare prices and ensure you're getting the best possible view for your budget.
