✅ Open sale
When: Holders of the carné franjiverde (about 27,000 season-ticket holders) get about 24 hours' priority, then the general public can buy online; only one match at a time tends to be on sale.
Alicante Plaza (Nov 2026) reporting the club's general-public prices for Elche v Valencia (1 Nov) and v Betis (8 Nov 2026): EUR 50 for the cheapest to EUR 240 for Tribuna Cubierta Central; no zone table found. Club site showed 'from 50' for Betis. Both are bigger games; barca match was 95-340. Club's own ticket page currently lists only Elche v Atletico (28 Nov) as 'buy soon'.

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.
