Estudiantes Tickets: How to Buy Category 2 Seats for the Copa Libertadores Final

Estudiantes de La Plata announced a new ticket sale for the Copa Libertadores final against Palmeiras, scheduled for November 28 at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo. The club secured an additional allocation of Category 2 seats priced at 250 dollars following rapid sell-outs and high resale prices in earlier windows.

Estudiantes de La Plata reported on Tuesday night that an extra allotment of tickets has been cleared for the upcoming continental clash Atención Estudiantes: más entradas para la final de la Libertadores :: Olé.

The club said that official negotiations with CONMEBOL opened a fresh purchasing tier for supporters holding specific ranking points. Thus, the fans will have another opportunity to accompany the team managed by Alexander Medina in a continental final after 17 years, although the purchasing possibility will depend on the available quota.

Who can join the exclusive ranking sale?

Members who lack a ticket for the final and fall within the point ranges for windows 2, 3, and 4 may participate, provided seats remain available. Diario El Día de La Plata detailed that the exclusive phase begins at 17:00 on Wednesday, November 11 Nueva ventana de venta de plateas para los Pinchas. The initial window serves members with 400 to 545 points in the general category and 290 to 362 for interior members.

Members who belonged to window 1 cannot participate in this exclusive sale and instead may participate in the general released sale under the conditions established by CONMEBOL. Family groups and interior members maintain differentiated point scales and the habitual criterion where all members share the ranking score of the member with the highest rank.

Subsequent windows open progressively based on remaining inventory. Members holding between 200 and 399 general points, or 150 to 289 interior points, enter during the second tier between 20:00 and 22:00. A final tier admits those with up to 199 general points or 149 interior points from 22:00 to 24:00 if inventory permits.

Does required points guarantee a ticket?

Possessing the necessary ranking score does not ensure a purchase. Estudiantes clarified that the volume of Category 2 seats in the Olímpica stand is strictly limited. No window offers guaranteed availability, and tiers 3 and 4 open only if unsold seats persist from earlier groups.

Buyers cannot participate outside their designated window. Supporters who missed their specific time slot cannot purchase later, even with higher point totals. Members who already secured a ticket cannot enter the ranking queue to buy for others.

How do general public sales operate?

CONMEBOL simultaneously opened a remnant general sale for Argentine citizens at 17:00 on Wednesday, November 11.

What history awaits in Montevideo?

Estudiantes advances to the final after eliminating Flamengo on penalties at the Maracanã following two scoreless matches La final de la Libertadores 2026 vuelve al Centenario. On October 22 at the Maracanã, Fernando Muslera stopped three penalties as Estudiantes eliminated Flamengo 3-2 in the shootout after two matches that ended without goals. In Estudiantes, Fernando Muslera, aged 40, played every minute of the campaign and stopped three penalties against Flamengo—against Jorginho, Paquetá, and Bruno Henrique—to reach the first CONMEBOL Libertadores final of his career and in his country after nearly two decades in Europe. Tiago Palacios, a 25-year-old winger who is an Argentine naturalized in Uruguay and debuted in the Cup with Montevideo City Torque in 2022, is the team’s joint top scorer with three goals alongside Guido Carrillo, and he converted in the penalty shootout in Rio.

Marcos Rojo, aged 36, returned in October of this year to the club where he began his career: he was part of the 2009 championship squad under Alejandro Sabella, could not play the 2023 final with Boca Juniors, and started as the left central defender in Rio. In Palmeiras, Carlos Miguel, standing 2.04 meters tall and guarding the goal since October 2025 after returning from Nottingham Forest, saved two penalties against Liga de Quito and Nonato’s penalty against Fluminense.

Marlon Freitas, captain of the 2004 champion Botafogo and at Palmeiras since January, scored in Quito and at the Maracanã, and according to Opta is the player with the most line-breaking passes in the CONMEBOL Libertadores.

Jhon Arias, a Colombian who was a champion in 2023 with Fluminense and joined Palmeiras in February after a stint with Wolverhampton, tallies three goals in the edition, trailing only Flaco López, the team’s top scorer with four. The club meets Palmeiras on November 28 at the Estadio Centenario, replicating the venue and opponent of the 1968 final where Osvaldo Zubeldía’s side lifted the trophy.

CONMEBOL Libertadores confirmed that the match ball will be CUMBRE, a special PUMA edition designed exclusively for the fixture La Final de la CONMEBOL Libertadores en 10 preguntas. If scores remain level after regulation, teams will play 30 minutes of extra time before a potential penalty shootout, just as happened in the 2021 final settled in extra time by Deyverson’s goal for Palmeiras’ 2-1 victory over Flamengo.
