Buenos Aires – Fans of Club Independiente are gearing up for the upcoming Torneo Apertura 2026 match against Central Córdoba, scheduled for Saturday, February 28th. The club has announced details regarding the sale and exchange of tickets, catering to both members and the general public. This match, the eighth of the Apertura 2026 season, promises to be a significant event for supporters of the Avellaneda-based team, and securing tickets requires careful attention to the phased release schedule.
The process for obtaining tickets is tiered, prioritizing long-standing club members. This approach aims to reward loyalty while also providing opportunities for new and non-member fans to attend. Understanding the specific dates and times for each phase is crucial for those hoping to witness Independiente compete at home. The club is also providing specific guidance for season ticket holders, ensuring a smooth entry process on match day. The availability of tickets, particularly for popular sections, is expected to be high, so fans are encouraged to act promptly when their designated sales window opens.
Ticket Exchange and Sales Schedule
The exchange of “Bonos” (vouchers) for seats in the social tribunes will commence on Wednesday, February 25th, at 18:00 hours. This initial phase is exclusively for club members. Following the Bono exchange, the sale of “Platea” (grandstand) seats will commence. Specifically, platea tickets will be available to members only starting at 19:00 hours on Wednesday, February 25th. Fans who are not members will be able to purchase platea tickets beginning at 10:00 hours on Thursday, February 26th. It’s significant to note that members wishing to purchase tickets must have their January membership dues paid in full.
For those who miss out on the initial sales phases, a remaining allocation of tickets will be made available for in-person purchase at the Complejo Deportivo Avellaneda on Saturday, February 28th, at 16:00 hours. This provides a final opportunity to secure tickets, but availability is not guaranteed. Fans should be prepared for potential queues and limited options as the match draws closer.

Special Considerations and Entry Requirements
Independiente has outlined specific entry requirements for different categories of members. Children under 11 years of age, accompanied by an adult with a current membership and paid January dues, are granted free access to the social tribunes. Similarly, children under 5 years of age can enter the plateas for free under the same conditions. Lifetime members and members with disabilities also receive free entry but are required to exchange their Bono starting Wednesday at 18:00 hours.
New members and those who have not yet received their physical membership cards can enter the stadium using the QR code from their digital membership card, provided they have obtained a Bono or platea ticket. Existing season ticket holders (“Abonados”) can enter with their social membership card or national ID (DNI). The physical season ticket card is no longer required, as the “Abono” is now digitally linked to their membership card or DNI. Members are encouraged to download their digital card from the “Sede Digital” platform for easy access to their seat information.
