Package Trip or Tickets
When planning your Real Betis experience, you'll need to decide whether to book a complete package trip or just purchase match tickets. Package trips typically include hotel accommodation, match tickets, and sometimes flights and transfers. These are ideal if you want a hassle-free experience and prefer having everything organized in advance. They're particularly recommended for first-time visitors to Sevilla or those traveling during busy periods. Buying just tickets gives you more flexibility with accommodation and travel arrangements, which might be preferable if you're planning a longer stay in Andalusia or have specific hotel preferences. Consider how much time you have for planning and whether you value convenience over customization when making your choice.
Real Betis's Rivalries
The most intense rivalry for Real Betis is undoubtedly with city neighbors Sevilla FC, in what is known as "El Gran Derbi" (The Great Derby). This Seville derby is one of Spain's most passionate local rivalries, dividing the city in two with Betis traditionally representing the working class. Matches between these teams are fiercely contested and tickets are extremely difficult to obtain. Betis also has notable rivalries with other Andalusian clubs like Granada CF and Málaga CF in what are called "Andalusian derbies." There's also a competitive relationship with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, though these are based more on sporting competition than historical or cultural factors. Attending any of these matches guarantees an exceptional atmosphere and display of passion from Betis supporters.
