Advice on attending RSC Anderlecht match?

January 5, 2017 12:37 PM

I'm going to be in Brussels for a conference next month and I'm interested in checking out an RSC Anderlecht match, specifically the Europa League match against Zenit. However, I'm running into a brick wall trying to find information about tickets, as the club's site links to an online ticketing service that doesn't seem to work. I gather that tickets are available at the stadium before match time, though I did see one thing that suggested tickets weren't available day of match. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Also, I have never been to a match in Europe -- is it cool to just wander in as an outsider and cheer for the locals?

Go to the stadium early on the day of the match and try and get tickets. The ticket office opens 3 hours before the match starts, I believe. No one is going to care that you're not a local.

Also a note that in Italy (can't speak for Belgium), you need to provide your identity document (passport, maybe a Drivers Licence will do) both when buying a ticket, and when entering the stadium to check you are the ticket holder. European football matches are a blast ~ have fun and soak up the atmosphere!
