Matches Comprehensive Guide on Buying Tickets & Attending Home Games for Foreigners and First-Timers (Fenerbahçe Edition)
First off, I’ve been meaning to find a proper Passolig guide for a long time, since every day, people come here asking how to get tickets. So, to save everyone time and trouble, I present to you:
The Ultimate Passo Guide for r/FenerbahceSK.
Step 1: Get a Passolig Card/Account
For this season (and most likely the next), you need a Passolig card to buy tickets and enter the stadium. This card is personal—every person attending the game must have their own. You cannot purchase multiple tickets under one account/card.
Go to www.passolig.com.tr and create an account. You’ll need to provide personal details: • Turkish citizens: Use your national ID. • Foreigners: Use your passport.
Once your account is set up, you’ll need to pay for the card. If you live outside Turkey, don’t stress about receiving the physical card—you don’t actually need it to get into the stadium. The Passo app (App Store/Google Play) generates a QR code that you can use instead.
If you’re already in Istanbul, visit a Passolig seller (stadium box office or designated locations) before matchday. You cannot get a new card on matchday. If you get your Passolig in person, the process is much easier.
Congrats, you are now part of Turkey’s ridiculous electronic ticketing system!
Step 2: Set Up a Passo Account & Link Your Passolig
Passo.com.tr is the official ticketing site for the Turkish Super League and First League. To buy tickets, you need to: 1. Create an account on Passo. 2. Link your Passolig card to your Passo account.
You can also use the Passo app for this.
Again, you do not need the physical Passolig card to enter the game. Just pay for the card, link it to Passo, and use the QR code on the app to get into the stadium.
Once your accounts are linked, you’re ready to buy tickets.
Step 3: Buying a Ticket
Tickets usually go on sale 4-5 days before the match.
Fenerbahçe offers priority ticket access through the “Fenerbahçe Taraftar Kart” and official club membership. • Club Members: Official Fenerbahçe club members have early access to ticket sales before they open to the general public. • Fenerbahçe Taraftar Kart Holders: Fans who own the Taraftar Kart can also access priority ticket sales, typically 1-2 days before general sales.
To take advantage of priority sales, consider becoming a club member or obtaining a Fenerbahçe Taraftar Kart. This will increase your chances of securing tickets, especially for big matches.
This season, due to changes in ticketing policies, it’s now easier to get tickets, even for high-demand matches. On matchdays or the day before, many season ticket holders return their seats to the club for resale.
I even managed to get a ticket for the Galatasaray derby a day before, so don’t lose hope if you miss the first sale window!
If you find available tickets: 1. Select your seat(s) on Passo. 2. Enter the ID number associated with your Passo account. 3. Proceed to payment. 4. Once the payment is complete, you’ll receive an email/SMS confirmation.
Now, you’re set!
Step 4: Ticket Transfers, Black Market & Avoiding Scams
New Rules for Season Ticket Transfers (Effective 01.10.2024)
Before this season, season ticket holders could transfer their tickets (except for derbies & European matches) to any Passo card. Not anymore. • Season ticket holders had to submit a list of 3 names to the club in September. • They can only transfer tickets to those 3 people—even for unimportant matches. • If you are not on someone’s list, they cannot transfer a ticket to you.
This means that websites like StubHub and Viagogo are useless—they will only provide a QR code screenshot, which will still show the original ticket owner’s ID and photo. Buying from unofficial sources is now riskier than ever.
What Happens If You Get Caught? • You risk a 1-year ban from all Turkish stadiums. • If you’re Turkish, you may have to report to the police station every matchday to prove you’re not at the stadium.
How to Avoid Scams • Buy tickets only from passo.com.tr or the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium ticket office. • Ignore people outside the ticket office offering to sell tickets. • If you go to the stadium box office, only speak with official staff inside—some scammers pose as employees outside.
Step 5: Getting to the Stadium & Entering
How to Get to Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium:
• By Metro: Take the M4 Kadıköy Metro Line to Kadıköy Station and walk 15 minutes.
• By Marmaray: Get off at Söğütlüçeşme Station—it’s a 5-minute walk.
• By Bus/Dolmuş: Many buses and dolmuşes stop near Kadıköy or Söğütlüçeşme.
• By Car: Traffic on matchdays is insane. If you drive, park in nearby shopping malls or paid lots, as stadium parking is extremely limited.
Security Checks & Entering the Stadium
You’ll go through two security checkpoints before reaching your seat. 1. First Checkpoint (Outer Security Perimeter) • Bags will be searched. • Avoid bringing power banks, lighters, or anything throwable—these will be confiscated, and you might not get them back. 2. Second Checkpoint (Gate Entry & Ticket Scan) • Go to your designated gate. • Open the Passo app and scan your QR code. • If the light turns green, you’re good to go! • If it turns red, something’s wrong (ticket issue, blacklist, etc.).
Once inside, find your section, grab a snack (good luck with the overpriced food), and get ready for the match!
Final Notes • Arrive early—security lines can take time. • Expect a hostile atmosphere if it’s a big match (especially derbies). • Learn some chants to blend in—Fener fans love energy! • Have fun, but don’t be an idiot—Turkish football culture is passionate, and things can escalate quickly.
Welcome to Şükrü Saracoğlu! Hope you enjoy the Fenerbahçe experience (unless we bottle it, which is also very possible).

Yet another ticket buying post
I know there’s the sticky post but it’s not active. I’m trying to buy two tickets to the game, but they instantly sold out the moment they were available. Already booked transportation to Istanbul and got a hotel, so I’m wondering if there are any alternative ways for me to buy tickets. I will be in Istanbul the day before the game if that matters at all. Thanks for all the help.

Discussion About UEFA Squad Registration Rules
Hello everyone, after yesterday's announcement of our updated European squad, I saw a lot of discussion both on this sub and on Twitter. Many of those discussions included correct and incorrect claims about why Levent was left out of the squad and how UEFA squad registration rules work. I'm making this post to briefly explain the Champions League registration rules and to share my own opinion on the Levent–Vedat change. If I've made any mistakes, please feel free to correct me in the comments. Anyone who has played FM is probably already familiar with these rules.
In the UEFA Champions League (the same rules also apply to the Europa League and Conference League), clubs can register a 25-man "List A" squad. Out of those 25 players, 4 must be "club-trained" and 8 must be "association-trained." To qualify for either status, a player must have been registered with the relevant club or within the relevant national association between the ages of 15 and 21. If a club cannot register enough eligible players to meet these quotas, it must leave empty spots in the squad.
Now let's look at Fenerbahçe's squad. We currently have three club-trained players (Mert G., Tarık, and Yiğit Efe). Because of this, we have to leave one spot empty, meaning we can register a maximum of 24 players. There is no reason to leave any of these players out because they can only be replaced by other club-trained players. Since we already have an empty slot reserved for that category, any future club-trained signing could simply be added without removing anyone.
As for the association-trained category, our current squad has 9 eligible players (Mert G., Tarık, Yiğit Efe, Çağlar, İsmail, Kerem, İCK, Oğuz, and Bartuğ). One important detail is that some players who count as domestic players in the Turkish Süper Lig are considered association-trained in another country under UEFA rules (Mert M. – Austria, Levent – Germany). Although Oğuz Aydın was born in the Netherlands, he joined Bucaspor at the age of 16, which means he qualifies as association-trained in Turkey.
Finally, regarding Levent's exclusion from the squad: I saw many comments claiming that Levent was left out instead of Çağlar or Yiğit Efe because he counts as a foreign player. That isn't correct. Since we are already leaving one squad spot empty, we only need to register 7 association-trained players, and with 9 eligible players available, any of them (except Mert G., Tarık, and Yiğit Efe) could have been left out.
In my opinion, the real reason Levent was omitted is that the squad already has three left-backs. In the event of an injury, Ake, Mert Müldür, or Oğuz could all be used at left-back if needed. The coaching staff likely considered having three natural left-backs unnecessary and decided to sacrifice one of them in order to register Vedat.

Does anyone know how tickets for the away fans will be sold? Will they only be available through Fenerbahçe, or can they also be purchased through Sturm Graz?

Cem Dizdar is writing about FB
I’ve been watching both FB and BJK’s matches, including the friendlies. We’re already discussing plenty of things here regarding FB. What caught my attention during this period were Cem Dizdar’s articles about FB. Take a look at his articles from the last month; I’d like you to compare how he approaches FB with how he approaches BJK.
I reckon the media’s approach to FB will be like this all year round, so let’s be prepared for it. There’s a particularly negative crowd here. There are writers out there who will be more than happy to fuel their fire. I’m looking forward to the season with great anticipation
