✅ Open sale 🪪 ID
When: Single tickets are sold only online via the club's Ticketmaster Greece page; each ticket carries the holder's name and AMKA (passport accepted for foreigners) and entry is only via the Gov.gr Wallet app (non-residents verify with a passport's NFC chip; the club says it is not involved in that step). Season tickets require Panathinaikos Amateur membership, but I found no membership requirement for single tickets; no general-sale timetable is published.
Not a league game: Conference League qualifier v Paksi at OAKA, July 2026 (club prices reported by Ta Nea): Gates 17/19/35 EUR 15, 3/15/33 EUR 20, 5/13/23/31 EUR 30, 7/11 EUR 50, 9 EUR 60, 29 EUR 70 (incl. a mandatory EUR 5 contribution to the amateur club); P1/P2 VIP EUR 155 excluded. No 2026-27 league price list found. Venue caution: league games have mostly been at Apostolos Nikolaidis (Leoforos) with big games at OAKA; the move to the new Votanikos stadium is planned for 2027-28.
Buy on the official Panathinaikos siteThe labels: ✅ Open sale = ordinary league games reach general sale · 🟡 Rules vary = members go first, some games reach general sale · 💳 Members only = a club card or membership is effectively needed · 🪪 = named tickets. They describe the club's usual league games, not one particular match: derbies and big games can be much harder.
Only buy from the club or its official partners. Unofficial resale sites charge far more and tickets can be cancelled at the gate. Prices are a guide and change by opponent; the club's site has the real price.

No game that weekend? Most big grounds run tours and museum visits most days, including the dressing rooms and the tunnel.
