Champions League Matchday 8 Tickets: All 18 Games Ranked by Value

Looking for the best value Champions League tickets on the final day? With 18 matches kicking off simultaneously on Wednesday 28 January 2026 at 8pm, we've ranked every game by what's at stake versus what you'll pay. So you can find the perfect balance of drama and affordability.

Only Arsenal and Bayern Munich have secured automatic qualification to the Round of 16. Meanwhile four teams are officially eliminated. That means 30 teams still have something to play for, from chasing a top-eight finish to simply surviving in the competition. Here's where to get the best bang for your buck.

As a ticket marketplace aggregating listings from multiple providers, SeatPick is uniquely positioned to compare prices across all 18 fixtures, so you can see exactly where the best deals are.

Best Value Champions League Tickets – High Stakes, Low Prices

These matches offer the best combination of competitive importance and affordable entry:

Date Match & Venue From
28 Jan Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham – Deutsche Bank Park £24
28 Jan Bayer Leverkusen vs Villarreal – BayArena £25
28 Jan Atlético Madrid vs Bodø/Glimt – Metropolitano £32
28 Jan Man City vs Galatasaray – Etihad Stadium £39
28 Jan Union SG vs Atalanta – Constant Vanden Stock £52

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham at just £24 is the standout bargain of the entire matchday. Spurs are currently inside the top eight but need a result to guarantee their spot, making this a must-win. Frankfurt are already eliminated, but that won't stop their passionate home support creating a hostile atmosphere. Interestingly, while entry starts at £24, the average ticket price is £486, a 20x markup—suggesting premium seats are in high demand despite Frankfurt's elimination.

Man City vs Galatasaray for £39 is remarkable value given the stakes. City sit just outside the automatic qualification places on goal difference and desperately need three points after their shock 3-1 defeat to Bodø/Glimt last week. With over 7,300 tickets available, there's still good availability for what could be a defining night in City's season.

The Pick of the Night: PSG vs Newcastle

If there's one fixture that stands out for pure drama, it's PSG vs Newcastle at the Parc des Princes (from £71). This is the only Matchday 8 game where both teams are realistically fighting for a top-eight finish, making it a genuine six-pointer in the race to avoid the play-offs.

PSG, the defending champions, have endured a turbulent campaign and currently sit sixth in the table. Newcastle, meanwhile, are just inside the top eight after their crucial win over PSV last night. A win for either side could seal automatic qualification; a loss could send them into the play-off lottery.

For travelling Toon fans, this is a mouth-watering trip to the French capital with everything on the line. At £71, it's cheaper than watching Arsenal host already-eliminated Kairat (£124), yet offers infinitely more at stake. With nearly 3,900 tickets available, there's still time to book a memorable European away day.

Big Club Fixtures: Premium Prices, Maximum Drama

If budget isn't the main concern and you want a blockbuster atmosphere, these matches deliver:

Date Match & Venue From
28 Jan Borussia Dortmund vs Inter – Signal Iduna Park £55
28 Jan Napoli vs Chelsea – Stadio Maradona £61
28 Jan Liverpool vs Qarabag – Anfield £63
28 Jan PSG vs Newcastle – Parc des Princes ⭐ £71
28 Jan Benfica vs Real Madrid – Estádio da Luz £111
28 Jan Barcelona vs FC Copenhagen – Camp Nou £113

Borussia Dortmund vs Inter at £55 stands out as excellent value for a clash between two European giants. Both clubs are on 12 points and fighting for a top-eight position. This could easily be a knockout round fixture. The Yellow Wall atmosphere alone is worth the trip.

Liverpool vs Qarabag has by far the most tickets available of any fixture. Nearly 18,000 listings on the resale market. That's great news for fans hoping to catch a European night at Anfield. The Reds are chasing a top-four finish for better knockout seeding, so expect a professional performance.

Benfica vs Real Madrid is the glamour tie of the evening. Real sit third in the table but can't afford to slip up with the margins so tight. Expect Mbappé and company to deliver under the Lisbon lights.

The Expensive Seats: Dutch & Arsenal Premium

Some fixtures command significantly higher prices due to limited capacity or premium demand:

Date Match & Venue From
28 Jan Ajax vs Olympiacos – Johan Cruyff Arena £153
28 Jan PSV vs Bayern Munich – Philips Stadion £152
28 Jan Club Brugge vs Marseille – Jan Breydel £139
28 Jan Arsenal vs Kairat – Emirates Stadium £124

Dutch clubs command the highest prices relative to the matchups. PSV vs Bayern (£152) and Ajax vs Olympiacos (£153) both start higher than Benfica vs Real Madrid. Despite featuring less glamorous opponents. Limited stadium capacity and strong domestic demand drive these premiums.

Arsenal vs Kairat at £124 is the priciest home ticket for an English side, though with Kairat already eliminated, it's essentially a victory lap for the Gunners. Over 12,000 tickets are available, so prices may soften closer to kick-off. For context, you could watch PSG vs Newcastle, where both teams are battling for top eight, for nearly half the price.

Scarcity Alert: These Games Are Nearly Sold Out

If you're eyeing these fixtures, don't wait:

Match Tickets Left From
Union SG vs Atalanta 46 £52
Pafos vs Slavia Prague 60 £100
Club Brugge vs Marseille 207 £139
Ajax vs Olympiacos 375 £153

Union SG vs Atalanta has just 46 tickets remaining the scarcest fixture of the entire matchday. At £52 for a game where Atalanta are pushing for a top-eight spot, this is actually solid value if you can secure one.

Pafos vs Slavia Prague in Cyprus has only 60 tickets left. Both teams are already eliminated, but for fans wanting to tick off an unusual European away day, this is your last chance.
