In the next section, we’ll explore more options for purchasing Real Sociedad match tickets, covering official channels and the secondary market through trusted sources via Ticket Compare.

If you’re purchasing through the club, Real Sociedad does things differently from many La Liga clubs by making tickets for every match available months in advance. So if you’re checking for Real Sociedad tickets at the start of the season every La Liga fixture will be available until the end of the calendar year.

And for that same token, if you’re hunting for Real Sociedad match tickets in December the remaining league fixtures will all be on sale until the end of the season.

This long-term ticket sales schedule is a big contrast to almost every other La Liga club. For example, Athletic Bilbao release their tickets about 15 days before a match, while some Real Madrid matches only go on sale the week before a fixture.

Nine of Real Sociedad’s twenty-three competitive home matches in 2023/24 were officially sold out. So while not every match is sold out, Real Sociedad tickets for La Liga, European matches and big Copa del Rey tickets will be gone quickly.

It’s also important to note that a sold out match may not have 100% attendance at Anoeta Stadium. This is because of the sheer number of socios who already have the tickets but may not show up to the match.

To try to solve the problem of no-shows by socios, the club offers them a ticket transfer service. Known as “Cesión de Carnet” in Spanish, it allows socios to sell their ticket back to the club, recouping 40% of the ticket price. These tickets automatically go back into the club’s ticketing system to be resold to new buyers in the days before a fixture.

Socios can also simply lend their tickets to friends and family via the same service.

The date that all txuri-urdin fans look out for on the calendar is the visit of Athletic Bilbao, their classic rivals 100 kilometres away along the AP-8 motorway.

On the primary market, Basque Derby tickets will never go on general sale, as they will all be purchased by socios. If on the unlikely chance there are any tickets available, they will be highly inflated, with the most expensive tickets in the Main Grandstand costing €120 for general admission seats.

With a unique sense of fellowship, the Basque Derby is like no other derby in the world. There’s never any animosity between La Real and Athletic Club fans, and all the energy at the Reale Arena is directed at getting behind the team.

A Basque Derby is a match not to be missed, and your best option for tickets at Reale Arena is to check Ticket Compare—by sourcing seats from several marketplaces we will have tickets available, even for a massively popular fixture like this.

Buying directly through the club, Real Sociedad match tickets for the Europa League are sold exclusively to socios or full members, or people signed up for the RS Fan scheme. These matches are always oversubscribed so there is no general sale for European football matches at Anoeta.

The good news is that you will have no problem buying Real Sociedad Europa League tickets on Ticket Compare, even for the crunch round of 16 matches.

When one of the bigger clubs in the competition comes to Donostia, you can expect a sharp increase in the price of La Liga tickets for Real Sociedad.

For example, the price of Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid tickets in 2024/25 ranged from €80 in the Family Grandstand (Tribuna Familiar) to €120 in the best seats in the Main Grandstand (Tribuna Principal).

On Ticket Compare the cost of Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid tickets may be above or below face value. However, our partnership with the club’s official hospitality agents, will generally keep prices low.

On the resale market, Ticket Compare is a fantastic resource for finding cheap Real Sociedad football tickets. Not only do we aggregate tickets from a host of secondary markets, for a larger spread of price ranges, we also feature hospitality tickets from official resellers, which tend to have lower prices.

Beyond that there are a few other ways you can snap up cheap Real Sociedad resale tickets, which we’ll cover now:

• Choose the Stadium Corners: Furthest from the pitch, in the corners of the upper ring (Anillo Superior) at Anoeta tend to give you cheaper Real Sociedad tickets.
• Sit Alone: If you don’t mind going solo, single seats will usually be cheaper on football ticket resale sites, because there are usually fees charged for additional seats together.
• Buy Early: For cheap Real Sociedad match tickets, consider buying months in advance, before a fixture takes on special importance as the season progresses.
• Buy Late: One of the tricks of the secondary market is that resellers may need to clear any remaining stock if they still have tickets 24 hours before a fixture. If you don’t mind gambling a little by waiting, you can find cheap last-minute football tickets this way.

The only way to do this is to join the waiting list, which is at more than 5,800 in 2024/25. If that doesn’t sound like a lot, it’s important to remember that full membership at Real Sociedad is about much more than a season ticket. Many socios will pay their dues for a lifetime, even if they only attend a few matches at the Reale Arena each season.

As a result, the waiting list will hardly move from season to season. On the back of La Real’s stunning Champions League campaign in 2024/25 demand for tickets at Anoeta has exploded, and the waiting list has grown from around 3,000 in 2022 to the current total.

To join the socio waiting list at Real Sociedad you have to get RS Fan membership, which we’ll talk about tickets.

The annual price of a season ticket at Anoeta ranges from €280 in the upper corners of the stadium to €702 in the lower ring (Anillo Inferior) of the Main Grandstand. There are significant discounts for a whole spectrum of age tiers. For instance, fans aged 26 to 29 years old can buy the same tickets for between €210 and €527.

Completely distinct from becoming a socio, or full member, you can sign up for a less formal membership scheme to get a variety of perks from Real Sociedad.

As we mentioned one of the primary benefits of RS Fan membership is a place on the waiting list to become a socio at Real Sociedad.

These are:

• Two tickets for a Real Sociedad match at Anoeta
• A 20% discount on two further Real Sociedad tickets
• A 10% discount at the club store
• Access to occasional matches at Real Sociedad’s Zubieta training ground
• A place on the club’s Realzale Programa Loyalty Points programme, rewarding regular attendance with lower prices
• And a place on the waiting list to become a Real Sociedad socio, as mentioned

In 2024/25 the price of an RS Fan Membership is €59.95 a year for adults and €39.95 for kids under 14.

Reale Arena is easily accessible thanks to its excellent transport links across San Sebastián and the wider region:

• Walking: A short stroll from central San Sebastián takes you to the stadium, and you can get acquainted with this beautiful city along the way.
• Metro and Train: Euskotren’s Anoeta station is only 100 meters away, providing fast connections across the city and neighboring towns.
• Bus: Several Dbus and Lurraldebus lines, including 21, 43, and E03, stop within a 200-meter radius of the stadium.
• Parking: Donostia Arena’s parking facilities are just 350 meters from the stadium, ideal for those arriving by car.

The lower tier of the Aitor Zabaleta Grandstand (Grada Aitor Zabaleta), behind the goal on the south side of the stadium is where you’ll find La Real’s loudest fans.

This area is the Zona de Animación, which is a little like a singing section, where fans are encouraged to be as loud and animated as possible, getting behind the txuri-urdin in good times and bad.

Real Sociedad socios who have their season ticket here are strongly encouraged to stay on their feet and attend every match without fail. If you find Real Sociedad tickets in this end of the stadium, be ready to sing and jump for 90 minutes.

If you want to be swept up in the atmosphere, the best place to be is near the south end of the stadium. It may be difficult to get a spot in Grada Aitor Zabaleta, but you will still be able to experience that energy in neighbouring areas. So areas 14,15 and 16, as well as K, L and M, will be noisy too.

For views, choose the longside East Grandstand and Main Grandstand, with superb perspectives of the match in the general admission areas 1 and 20 in the Main Grandstand and 10 and 11 in the East Grandstand.

Finally, if you’re heading to the Reale Arena with younger members of the family, look no further than the Family Stand (Grada Familiar) on the north side of the stadium. This area is directly behind the goal, and has a noticeably more laid-back atmosphere, with plenty of children attending.

Externally, this side of the stadium is also home to the Keler Espazioa, which has family friendly activities, including inflatables, mini-golf, arcade games and table tennis, becoming a fan zone on matchdays.

Visiting fans are in the upper ring in the north-east corner of the stadium at Anoeta, mostly in area 6 and occasionally area 9. Accessed via Gate 9 and now set behind a protective glass screen, the exact areas involved will vary according to the competition and the size of the away allocation.
