League dates are provisional until the league confirms the exact day and time, usually a few weeks ahead, after TV picks. "TBC" means not confirmed yet. Updated 2026-11-15. The ticket labels show the club's usual rules: see the ticket helper.
🏆 European games: dates and times are UEFA's (read from Wikipedia); the knockout rounds appear once the draws are made. European tickets are sold differently from league ones.
This club's league fixtures are not in our free data, so only its European games are listed.

- 🪪 Named ticket: bring the ID you booked with
✅ Open sale 🪪 ID
When: Regular league home games usually go on sale 4-5 weeks before the match, online (tickets.kaagent.be) and at the ticket desk at the same time. You need a free Buffalo account to order and each ticket must be assigned to the named person who will use it.
The club's 2026-27 price page only lists UECL single tickets (16+: EUR 20 Tribune 2/4, EUR 25 Tribune 3, EUR 30 Tribune 1); league single-ticket prices are shown only in the ticket shop. League season tickets 2026-27 for 16+ range EUR 305-695.
Buy on the official Gent site🏆 European games ✅ Public sale
How: Conference League league phase is sold as a three-game mini-abo (AGF 15 Oct, Red Star 26 Nov, Brann 17 Dec): regular season-ticket holders had priority to 30 Sep 23:59, then free and single-ticket sale from 1 Oct to anyone. E-tickets by email and in the KAA Gent app; box office also open at the Planet Group Arena. The page does not say whether single tickets remain for the 26 Nov and 17 Dec games or whether ID is checked.
Mini-abo for all three home games 'from EUR 40' (a 3-game package, not a per-game price, so not used as min). Per-category prices are on kaagent.be/nl/tickets/abonnementen, which I did not read.
European tickets on the official Gent siteEuropean tickets are sold game by game, often early, in packages or only to registered fans, and many are sold out by now.
📅 When tickets probably go on sale estimate
- Gent v Red Star (Conference League), Thu 26 Nov: general sale probably on sale already
- Gent v Brann (Conference League), Thu 17 Dec: general sale likely on sale about now
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 Gent'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.
Want it all sorted?
Hospitality means a guaranteed seat with food and drink, and it's the legal way to a sure ticket for a big game.
Gent: official hospitality prices on the club's site, sold by the club.
Stadium tours
