Clubkaart (EUR 5.50, valid five years, bought in the N.E.C. ticketshop after an identification process with valid ID) or a season ticket; 4 tickets per clubkaart for normal matches, 2 for top matches. Online sales open about four weeks before the match; entry uses FastID face recognition (optional).
No official single-ticket prices found on nec-nijmegen.nl; only a 2022 season-ticket list (EUR 168-378 a season). Third-party figures found were resale sites or a years-old guide, so left null.

Worked out from this club's usual pattern as it is stated above. Clubs change the dates, so treat these as a prompt to check the official page, not a promise.
📅 Add NEC Nijmegen's games and sale reminders to your calendar (a feed that updates itself).
The labels: ✅ Open sale = ordinary league games reach general sale · 🟡 Rules vary = members go first, some games reach general sale · 💳 Members only = a club card or membership is effectively needed · 🪪 = named tickets. They describe the club's usual league games, not one particular match: derbies and big games can be much harder.
Only buy from the club or its official partners. Unofficial resale sites charge far more and tickets can be cancelled at the gate. Prices are a guide and change by opponent; the club's site has the real price.
