Why You Should Buy Fc Barcelona Tickets In Advance And Avoid Disappointment

There can be little doubt that FC Barcelona is one of the top football clubs in the world and so any serious sports fan should pay at least one visit in their life to see them play in their home stadium, the Nou Camp.

The club is often known simply as Barça, Spanish league matches at the Nou Camp are massively popular among tourists visiting the city for the weekend. Following the 1992 Olympics Barcelona was put back on the map as a short stay destination thanks to easy access from the UK and other European countries thanks to low cost airlines Easyjet and then Ryanair and other budget carriers, and the rise in fortunes of the club over the last few years since Joan Laporta first became club president has ensured that the number of Barcelona FC tickets sold to tourists has rocketed.

Sandro Rossell is the current president, with Pep Guardiola coaching the squad. Guardiola is an ex-Barça player and took over the position from Frank Rijkaard when he was sacked after a dismal season .

Faces often change in football - Ronaldinho experienced his career highs during his first seasons at Barça and Samuel Eto'o was another hugely successful figure Lionel Messi remains with the club and demonstrates again and again why football is often known as "the beautiful game" . Other core players include goalkeeper Victor Valdes, captain Carles Puyol, Xavi, and Iniesta.

While attendance figures were at one point low, even the current economic crisis can't prevent fans from seeing the current team live and their passion is infectious and if it's Real Madrid that Barça are playing then that passion will be on the point of overboiling.

Almost one hundred thousand spectators can be seated at the Nou Camp and when at capacity the noise from the crowd is really deafening. You'll find people of all ages and backgrounds and if the match coincides with a public holiday in particular then many children will be treated to a match, accompanies by parents or grandparents.

While the result is always important, particularly if they are playing Real Madrid, but if Messi is playing the final result can sometimes become secondary. The crowd loves the young player and his modest demeanour is a long way from the brashness shown by some players.

If you're unlucky enough to visit Barcelona off-season, or on a weekend when FC Barcelona is laying away, remember that the Nou Camp is worth a visit as an experience in itself. While football fans should aim to see Barça in action, the stadium is also hugely popular as a tourist destination. In fact the Barça museum is the most visited museum in Catalonia, ahead of Barcelona's Picasso Museum and the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres.

With displays of trophies, documents and photos you can also take the stadium tour and visit the tunnel and the director's area.

So next time you're in Barcelona how can you call yourself a sports fan and not pay homage to one of the world's greatest football teams?
