Istanbul Travel Forum

How can I manage to get tickets for matches of the Turkish Süperlig in advance from abroad?

Me and three friend will visit Istanbul in October or November and we want to visit a match of Fenerbahce, Galatasaray or Besiktas.

Will it be possible to buy tickets online and will they be delivered or reserved? Or aren't the games usually sold out, so that we will be able to buy tickets directly before the match?

Btw: Regarding http://www.tff.org.tr games will be played exclusively on sundays, 12:00 am. Is it true or will the matchday and -times vary?

Don't know about buying abroad.

We went to see FB 3 years ago. Friends got the tickets for us, but it was definitely not sold not. However, local derbies and games against top teams may be.

Our game started at 9.30pm on Saturday night, but that might have been because it was in August and very hot.

Maybe you can prebook and pay for them, here below and pick them up when you arrive from a number of their small ticket booths around the city.

I've never used them but my wife does for concerts and seems straight forward.
Just keep looking for the dates you want.

Hi,
You can by the tickets from Biletix. www.biletix.com for more info about Turkish Super League Best Team (Galatasaray) and the other teams visit my sports and travel tips.
If you really want to watch really good footbal by a combine ticket for one season from Galatasaray .

It won't be necessary to buy a season ticket, 'cause I'll only stay for 5 days....

:)

hi! you can buy match ticket on the match days in the front of the stadiums. for example to wathc galatasaray's match you should be in front of the ali samiyen(at mecidiyeköy) at that day's afternoon.

Aren't the matches sold out, usually?

Is any of the following matches likely to be sold out, so that I can't buy tickets in front of the respective stadium?

1) Galatasaray-Denizlispor (first match of the season; Aug, 24th)
2) Besiktas-Gaziantepspor (Oct, 21st)
3) Fenerbahce-Genclerbirligi (Oct, 21st)
4) Galatasaray-Istanbul BB (Nov, 16th)
5) Fenerbahce-Ankaraspor (Nov, 16th)

Which stadium will host the above games? I am quite unsure, because I read something about renovation (Sucru Saracoglu), reconstruction (Inönü) and complete new building (Ali Sami Yen)....

First match of the season could be a problem.
New Galatasaray stadium is in another place as far as I know and far from being ready, so the old stadium is still being used. Fenerbache stadium is fully changed, not seen any work while passing it, and Besiktas isn't currently being worked on, just the roads around it, as far as I could see 2 days ago.
