Best Upcoming European Matches in the UK: How to Buy Tickets

A return to club football is imminent following the October international break, with a flurry of exciting games coming up.

As the next round of European football beckons, SeatPick previews some of the best upcoming fixtures. Read further to find out how you can acquire tickets for these matches.

How to Buy UEFA Champions League Tickets

Fans looking to attend a Champions League fixture must typically buy tickets directly through one of the participating clubs.

Season ticket holders are entitled to tickets for all home matches (of that particular club) throughout the season, including cup games.

Seats not in the possession of a season ticket holder are available to official members of the club. Games with the highest demand usually see a ballot system implemented to determine the recipients of available seats.

Fortunately, it is still possible to attain tickets without holding an official membership with a club.

SeatPick compares prices of tickets listed on the secondary market from a wide array of vendors online. Our platform features only authorised and vetted sites, ensuring your tickets come with a 100% guarantee.

Check out availability for these games:

Manchester United vs FC Copenhagen – 24th October 2023

Manchester United vs FC Copenhagen tickets are available from as little as £48 with SeatPick.

We start at Old Trafford, where Manchester United will be looking to get their Champions League campaign up and running at the third time of asking.

The Red Devils lost each of their opening two group games, away at Bayern Munich and home to Galatasaray. FC Copenhagen, meanwhile, settled for a 2-2 draw against the Turkish giants before a narrow defeat to Bayern last time out.

Man United and FC Copenhagen have a common link in the form of Rasmus Højlund. The striker was born in the Danish capital and went on to ply his trade at FC Copenhagen before moving abroad, aged 18, to Sturm Graz in Austria. In 2023, he joined Man Utd in a deal worth a reported £72m.

The only past Champions League meetings between Man United and the current champions of Denmark came in the 2006/07 group stage. Paul Scholes opened the scoring in a 3-0 home win for United.

These teams also met in the Covid-stricken Europa League of 2019/20. Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty in extra-time as United triumphed in their single-legged quarter-final tie at a neutral venue in Cologne, Germany.

Don’t miss this Champions League night under the Old Trafford lights! Head to SeatPick to secure your seats, starting from just £48.

Celtic FC vs Atletico Madrid – 25th October 2023

Celtic FC vs Atletico Madrid tickets start from £199 through SeatPick.

Celtic Park will be rocking on Wednesday evening when Atletico Madrid visit Glasgow.

Atletico got the better of Feyenoord in Group E, having previously conceded deep into stoppage time at Lazio via the unlikeliest of goalscorers. Celtic, meanwhile, tasted defeat in both of their opening two matches in Europe this term.

Celtic and Atletico Madrid haven’t yet met in this competition in its current format but clashed in the semi-finals of the 1973/74 European Cup. The Spanish side emerged victorious but subsequently lost the final to Bayern Munich.

Their last meeting(s) came during the Europa League group stage in 2011/12, as Atletico won both home and away.

Moussa Dembele enjoyed a two-year stint at Celtic before he spent a short-term loan spell with Atletico (from Lyon) in 2021.

There should be a terrific atmosphere at Celtic Park. Get your tickets via SeatPick today!

Newcastle United vs Borussia Dortmund – 25th October 2023

Newcastle United vs Borussia Dortmund tickets are starting from £173 at SeatPick.

Newcastle United currently sit atop Group F, which has been dubbed the ‘group of death’, with 4 points from two games.

Despite being drawn together with three well-established European teams, Newcastle have shown great confidence in themselves upon returning to UEFA’s premier club competition for the first time in 20 years.

Paris Saint-Germain were humbled on their visit to Tyneside, as the Magpies claimed a resounding 4-1 win. St. James’ Park should produce another electric atmosphere when Borussia Dortmund travel to Newcastle.

These two clubs have never shared a pitch in a competitive meeting, so this should make for a fascinating maiden contest.

Alexander Isak signed for Newcastle in 2022, though he was previously a Dortmund player for two years. The Sweden international was 17 when he switched to the German club, before he moved to Real Sociedad in 2019.

Isak has scored seven goals in 10 appearances this season (all competitions) but is yet to open his account in the Champions League.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Ajax – 26th October 2023

Brighton vs Ajax tickets start from just £75 with SeatPick.

Over to Europa League action on Thursday night, there are more eye-catching matches to keep tabs on.

Ajax visit Brighton, as one of Europe’s most successful clubs goes head-to-head with an up-and-coming dark horse.

In the club’s first-ever season playing continental football, Brighton have picked up a solitary point from their two games thus far. The Seagulls lost at home against AEK Athens before salvaging a draw at Marseille.

Ajax, four-time winners of the Champions League/European Cup, have earned two draws in the current Europa campaign. The Amsterdam outfit has been struggling domestically, with 5 points from six outings, and currently occupy a place in the relegation zone of the Eredivisie.

Mainly due to the meteoric rise of Brighton in recent years, these teams have never met before. They do, though, share a common link in the form of Joel Veltman.

The Netherlands defender spent almost two decades at Ajax after joining the club’s youth system aged nine. He left his boyhood club in 2020, signing for Premier League side Brighton.

Liverpool FC vs Toulouse – 26th October 2023

Liverpool FC vs Toulouse tickets are starting from £93 through SeatPick.

Merseyside sets the scene for this clash in Group E of the Europa League.

Liverpool will be looking to make it three wins out of three after routine wins over LASK and Union Saint-Gilloise. Victory for the hosts would take them 5 points clear of their opponents.

Looking back, the teams faced one another in the third and final qualifying round of the 2007/08 Champions League. Then managed by Rafael Benitez, the Reds won home and away – including a 4-0 success at Anfield.

If you want to see Liverpool in European action, SeatPick is where you can purchase reliable and affordable tickets.
