When I first arrived in BA(around July 2010) I frequented El Alamo(big suprise right) Anyways one day late in August, I met some Argentines there and ended up drinking with them all night, including once the Alamo closed at 4, we drank on the street for another 2 hours. Anyways, I told this one...

There are groups that take tourists to the games but expect to pay over $100 US. If you go on your own, the tickets will either be fake or you will be charged 3X the amount of the tickets. My experience was with $40(peso) popular tickets. Since we bought them so close to kickoff we paid $120 for...

You are correct I never did go back because I lost touch with Matias and I just went to River games after that because it is very easy to get to and the tickets are cheap and also easy to find(unlike the Boca game I went to, had a horrible experience getting the tickets, but saw a great game...

I lived in BA for a year and a half from July 2010 to end of 2011. I no longer live in Buenos Aires, but I do check this forum because I do miss it.

Check out FC BAFA(Buenos Aires Futbol Amigos) facebook page or website. They have around 3 5 a side games a week. Great people too. I highly recommend them

You need to start learning Spanish now then. I had a friend come and stay at my apartment about a month ago. I was only around for about 5 days, and then I went to Bariloche and El Calafate for adventures and he stayed at my place and explored BA by himself for another 9 days without me. He...

Every foreigner that comes to BA wants to go to a Boca match and I really don't know why. The stadium is in a dodgy area, the stairwells smell of piss after the match, it's impossible to get tickets and the few of my friends who managed to get tickets got fake ones and weren't allowed into the...

There is no need to purchase tickets from a company because they will charge you more than what the tickets are worth. The great thing about River is that the stadium is so big, unless they are playing Boca, it will not sell out. Show up at the stadium an hour or half hour before the game and go...
