Barcelona Football Club has announced plans to open 14,000 additional seats on the first and second tiers of the Camp Nou stadium before the end of the season. These new seats will be exclusively reserved for club members.

The club is currently awaiting approval from the Barcelona City Council for “Phase 1C” of the stadium's reopening, which involves opening the fourth side of Camp Nou. In a statement, Barcelona expressed its hope to obtain this license by early March.

One of the main obstacles preventing the “1C” license approval is the installation of gates that open onto the street. It is estimated that the inability to open the “Gol Nord” stand costs the club one million euros per match in lost opportunities. Meanwhile, a partial season ticket for members in the new section will be offered, costing between 160 and 240 euros.

When will Barcelona open more seats at Camp Nou?

Barcelona aims to open 14,000 additional seats on Camp Nou's first and second tiers before the season ends, pending Barcelona City Council approval for "Phase 1C" by early March.

What is delaying the full reopening of Camp Nou's new sections?

The primary obstacle for the "1C" license is the installation of street-facing gates. This inability to open the Gol Nord stand costs the club an estimated one million euros per match.
