Built by Fans, For Fans
We've spent decades navigating the beautiful chaos of football ticketing so you don't have to.
Why We Started Matchday Guide
If you've ever tried buying football tickets online, you know the feeling: conflicting information, sketchy websites, unclear membership requirements, and forums full of outdated advice. It's exhausting.
Our team has been there, literally. We've attended five World Cups, witnessed matches across England, Italy, Germany, Spain, France, and stadiums around the world. And along the way, friends, family, and fellow fans kept asking us the same questions: "How do I actually get tickets? Who can I trust? What's the real process?"
So we built Matchday Guide, a straightforward resource that cuts through the noise and shows you the legitimate pathways to getting into the stadium. We're good at researching, talking to fans who've navigated these systems, and presenting information in a way that actually makes sense. No hype, no shortcuts, just honest guidance.
We'll continue to update our research each season to stay on top of new methods for official tickets, membership programs, and the latest hospitality partners. Our goal is to give you a one-stop shop for the latest, most reliable information so you can make informed choices.
What Makes Us Different
Real Experience
We're not just researchers. We're fans who've bought tickets, talked to countless supporters, and researched what actually works across different clubs and countries.
Official Pathways First
We always start with club memberships and official channels. When those aren't an option, we show you legitimate hospitality packages and third-party platforms that have good reputations on refunds. You make the choice that works for you.
Truth Over Hype
We tell you what's true and what's noise. If a ticket source is sketchy, we say so. If memberships take time to build access, we're upfront about that too.
The Full Experience
Getting to the match is just the beginning. We also share matchday traditions, where locals go before and after the game, and tips to make your experience truly memorable.
Our Approach
We treat every guide like we're advising a close friend. That means being honest about what works, what doesn't, and what's changed recently. Club ticketing policies shift all the time, and we stay on top of it so you don't have to second-guess yourself.
You'll find information on:
- •Official club memberships and how they unlock ticket access
- •Hospitality packages when general tickets aren't available
- •Third-party platforms that may add risk but have good reputations on refunds
- •Matchday culture and traditions to enhance your experience
- •Pre- and post-match spots where locals actually gather
