Estadio Alberto J Armando

We visited during July vacation period in Argentina so the lines were pretty unreal. I wanted to buy my children Boca Jrs jerseys so asked to enter the store without waiting in the massive lines outside. I bought all 3 children a jersey and asked the sales associate if I could just get in line to buy stadium tour tickets, he said no problem. Stadium Tour comes with the museum experience and the opportunity to go out and sit outside on the goal side of the stadium and just absorb the atmosphere. Museum - some nice interactive pieces and not too overwhelming with too much to see and read, but at the same time gives you a feel for the tradition the club has and the part of the fabric it is of the city and neighborhood. I mostly enjoyed the chance to go out and sit in the goal end of the stadium while we waited. Tour - it was nice to hear a bit about the history of the club and absorb the atmosphere. On the tour you are able to: go in a few tunnels where only employees are allowed, sit in the famous side of the Chocolate Box stand and listen to the guide share some history, go to the other goal side and stand on the pitch behind the goal, visit the visiting locker room, see the press room and then see an entrance where there is a nice painting depicting the club’s history. Missing from the tour (which I first took 20 years ago) was a visit to the Home Team’s locker room, that was a bit of a bummer not to see. Overall worth the time and money, especially if you are taking the time to come to the neighborhood. Don’t miss the opportunity to take home something from the store as they have many items you won’t be able to find if you live outside of the country.

If you can get tickets it's amazing, we'll worth the money. No away fans and 90% are season ticket holders. If you love football then this is for you.

A beautiful display of how futbol supporters can make a neighborhood shine and represent the team values

I recently visited La Bombonera in Buenos Aires and watched an unforgettable experience; albeit a Stadium & Museum Tour, with a fantastic guide. I can’t believe I actually stood and visited the iconic stadium, one day I will return to actually watch a football match therefore I can feel the passion of Boca Juniors fans echoing through the steep stands. One interesting fact: I was told, the stadium’s unique “flat” side was designed to maximize space in the cramped neighborhood of La Boca. Another: when the fans jump in unison, the structure actually vibrates — earning it the nickname La Bombonera no tiembla, late (“La Bombonera doesn’t shake, it BEATS”).

To the ones who love soccer this place is worthy. Good to learn about soccer and the Boca jrs club history, very connected with argentinas soccer as a whole. I thought the tickets were a little expensive but we also did the stadium tour.

One of the most distinctive and iconic football stadiums in the world. The 'Chocolate Box' is instantly recognisable with it's super steep 3 tiered stands and bright colours, while keeping it's 'old school' feel. It's a must visit if in Buenos Aires, and if you made it all the way out to La Boca, you may as well do the stadium & museum tour if Boca Juniors are not playing. Make sure and buy your tickets just inside under the club crest and not from other 'vendors'. Also, do not wander too much away from the stadium or El Caminito, as it can be a bit dodgy, and especially not after dark. The tour is not only informative but the guides are fun with jokes and back stories. Every time I have visited this city, Boca have been playing away or I couldn't get a ticket, so I have yet been unable to sample the electric atmosphere these fans are famous for. When I do, it will get the 5 stars. Definitely worth the trip out here anyway - what a great club!

A must-see for each and every avid football fan. A worship place - for football as such and naturally the Devine Diego. Wanna see a match? Tickets only to be arranged through middle men who makes nice business on it (most hotel receptions will give you some useful guidelines). Hold your phone tight, do not wear a watch. You will be observed by the locals.

Amazing experience, one of the highlights of our trip. Boca fans are so passionate and create such an incredible atmosphere on matchday. A must-see for any football fan out there!

The excitement and energy of seeing a CABJ Football match live was like nothing else... a must if you're visiting Buenos Aires. Look at my videos and photos; the experience was spectacular. Being part of the crowd was all-consuming and the Boca Juniors won the game during injury time. You couldn't hope for anything more! Now some notes on tourists visiting the stadium: Don't bring anything with you - no bags (including purses), no valuables, nothing except your phone. Dress down and dress comfortable - you'll probably stand the entire time so wear comfortable shoes. Everyone wears CABJ gear (Blue and Yellow) so don't wear River Plate colors (Red and White). There will be 4 security checkpoints when you enter. You will present your ID and your ticket to scan. They will pat you down and you can't have anything in your pockets - this is where having a bag with you would make things complex. Getting to the entrance is a bit of a labyrinth so follow the crowd or, better yet, go with a tour. A tour will allow you to enjoy the experience and not try to figure it out as you go along. This will also alleviate any issues with counterfeit tickets. The waiting list for a ticket is around 10-years as there are only season ticket holders so, not matter what, you're getting a scalped ticket. My ticket was 2900 Argentinian Pesos (about $13) but you will spend at least 10x that price on your scalped ticket, so buy it from a reputable place and I'd be wary of anyone trying to sell you the ticket for much less than 10x because it's probably too good to be true. There is zero alcohol sold in the stadium and the food looked pretty meh - some kind of meat in bread wrapped in aluminum foil - so eat before and drink before. The bathrooms are also a bit meh, but that's to be expected in any stadium. You're there for the excitement, not the food or the facilities. When you're there, the crowd is passionate and they'll want you to participate but you probably won't be able to because there are several different songs and chants, not just one to memorize. But it doesn't matter. Scream your loudest! Have fun! This was my favorite thing that we did in Buenos Aires!!

The most beautiful stadium in Argentina. The fans, the atmosphere, the team, it's truly a once in a lifetime experience. They also have a museum with all the teams, accomplishments, and trophies that you should check out. This is the temple of football, I highly recommend you make the pilgrimage.

It is without a doubt a once in a life time thing you must do if you like soccer/football. Go to see the famous Boca juniors play and their fans support them. We went to a match versus temperley in the blazing sunshine. They won 4 - 0 and the crowd went wild for every goal. The atmosphere is like no other. It really is the noisiest I have experienced and I have been to hundreds of matches in ten different countries. This is a must do if you are visiting BA. (I would make sure you have a local with you to get you in and out the stadium in one piece)

What an experience!!! Great stadium and great crowd. Its quite dated but thats what adds the charm! As an avid sports fan who frequents arenas and stadiums all over the world it was a decent place. I've seen better (Maracana, Staples Center, etc.) but I've seen worse. I would go back and make sure to eat before hand as the food options are limited.
