The Build-Up - From there we’ll head to a local bar and mingle with the fans, continuing on through the pre-match party in the streets of La Boca. Chants of Dale Bo, practicing the correct wrist-flick for our agite, a beer in one hand and a choripán in the other, the perfect preparation for a day in the Bombonera.
Your guide will accompany you in reduced groups (~8 pax.) to the correct entrance gate, through the squeeze of security controls and police checkpoints, and finally into the ground. 

The match - Through the turnstiles and up the stairs - you’ll see first hand the famous saying: La Bombonera no tiembla, late, “The Bombonera doesn’t shake, it beats 💓”. Onto the terrace (Popular) behind the goals with the diehard fans to witness the sea of blue and gold, the confetti and fireworks, the trumpets and drums providing the soundtrack for match-day at this famous old ground.
Your guide will keep the group together, and finding a good spot among the fans, explain the songs and describe the stadium's intricacies.

The Come-Down - The inevitable adrenaline crash after the ecstasy, streaming out of the exits and back through La Boca towards San Telmo. Some chase the dragon in a local bar, some head to a steakhouse to savour the moment, others straight to bed to dream on…
You’ll head back to San Telmo to a secure spot and your guide will assist in pointing you in the right direction to get back home safely

For others, tickets are available but can only be bought in-person, with local ID/bank cards, or through numerous inventive means of wasting your time. We will make sure to find tickets for you and guarantee their authenticity.
  
  

• The access to the stadium is filled with different controls and security checks in which police and fans get mixed up, sometimes creating tension. Our expert guides have navigated these sites dozens of times, know the ins and outs, and can anticipate and handle these situations so you don’t have to.
  

• Many football fans in Argentina are not used to seeing tourists and barely speak English. In a way, this is what makes our experience truly authentic, and we will help with Spanish so no language barriers affect your match-day.

• Many supporters will appreciate it if you show your support through your clothing, by wearing the club's merchandise like a shirt, beanie, jacket, etc. Dressing with the club colours will be fine, but if you want a jersey make sure to take a look at our store.

• Football in Argentina is an amazing subculture. Our expert guide will let you know everything you need about the context of the game, the history of the clubs, the traditional pre-game rituals, the meaning of the songs you will hear, the significance of the flags and symbols, and more.

• The chaos and unpredictability in Argentine football are what makes it uniquely beautiful, and uniquely frustrating. The League often decides fixtures at the last moment, and changes can happen late on also. If this is the case, we will let you know in advance for you to make a decision according to your availability.
