The FC Barcelona squad will receive a mass bath this Friday, November 7, prior to the La Liga match against Celta de Vigo at Balaídos. Hansi Flick's team will work from 11:00 CEST at the Spotify Camp Nou, with 23,000 culés in the stands of the renovated culé temple.

Last Friday, October 31, the club put tickets on sale for the training session, with exclusive access for members during the first 48 hours. Since Sunday, the general public has been able to purchase their tickets through the official Barça website.

Ticket prices for the training session at Spotify Camp Nou

In just a few hours, around 20,000 tickets were sold, with prices of 5 euros for season ticket holders and 10 euros for other fans. This will be the first return of the Barça team to the Spotify Camp Nou since its closure at the end of May 2023, when the total remodeling of the structure began.

On Friday the 7th, only the first two tiers of the Tribune and South Goal stands will be open. On Monday night, only tickets for the Tribune, Corner, and Upper South Goal stands remained available. All the money raised will go to the Barça Foundation's Pulseras Blaugranas charity project.

This will be the first operational test of phase 1A, whose first occupancy license has been in the hands of the board since mid-October. The goal is to process this same requirement for phase 1B in time to play against Athletic in Les Corts.

Tentative dates for the first match at Camp Nou this season

The match of matchday 13 of LaLiga will be played on Saturday, November 22 at 4:15 p.m. In phase 1B, the first two levels of the Lateral stand will be enabled, while work continues on the construction of the third tier (upper level).

This step is key to definitively returning to the Estadi, both in La Liga and the Champions League. The employers' association would not object to Barça playing with the current capacity (23,000 seats), but UEFA does prevent the reopening of the culé temple under these conditions.

The reason has to do with the impossibility of segmenting the visiting public in Champions League knockout stage matches. In case the permits for the match against Athletic are not obtained in time, the return home would be postponed one more week, against Alavés for Matchday 14 of LaLiga (November 29).

That weekend will celebrate the club's 126th anniversary, so it will be ideal to have the Spotify Camp Nou up and running by then, an objective that was pending the previous year for the 125th anniversary. In the Champions League, Barcelona's next opponent at home will be Eintracht (December 9).
