About this trap
Boca Juniors matches at La Bombonera are for club members, and there is no regular public sale, so visitors usually get in through a member or an organised package. Paper tickets and membership cards are counterfeited, and a deal that looks too good is a warning sign. Avoid scalpers on match day and strangers online. Book a guided match package, compare several offers and confirm exactly what is included.
