Boca’s board made a historic decision by removing the filter for entering La Bombonera, allowing all members to have the same opportunity to support the team. Starting with the next match against Lanús in the Torneo Clausura, the method for securing a spot in the stands of the iconic stadium will change.
In recent years, the blue and gold institution maintained a strict attendance system that determined whether supporters could attend local league matches. While this measure aimed to reward loyalty, it constantly caused headaches for those who, for different reasons, could not reach the minimum required percentage. Now, the board has decided to make a complete turnaround in its admission policy.
According to the official announcement, prior attendance will no longer be required for league matches. This paradigm shift means that any active member will be able to secure a place in the stands at Brandsen 805 until availability runs out. The board’s main intention is to maximize the stadium’s capacity and democratize access to Boca matches.

Boca members will no longer have the filter to enter La Bombonera.
The new reservation format will officially take effect for the team’s next home match, scheduled for Friday, August 28 against Lanús. Fans will receive detailed information by email in advance so they can secure their ticket within the established timeframes. The system will be identical to the one usually used in international competitions, but without any cost to members.
The elimination of this requirement represents significant relief for the club’s membership base in La Ribera, which had long been calling for an update to the system. The new advance reservation will require fans to be extremely attentive so they do not miss out. Demand is expected to be overwhelming, and the available spots could sell out within minutes ahead of the clash with the Granate side.

Fans will return to La Bombonera on Friday, August 28 against Lanús.
With this measure, the club’s leadership aims to put an end to the controversies surrounding the platform. It remains to be seen how the digital infrastructure will respond to the imminent surge of users trying to guarantee their presence to support Xeneize.
