Saludos, MadridMan

i don't arrive in Madrid until about 5pm 2 weeks on Sunday and, therefore, won't have time to buy a ticket beforehand.

will I be able to pay at the gate or are Atletico games all ticket??

(or does the ticket office stay open up til kick off??)

I would say Atlético. For me, it's a better team.

You may buy tickets upon arrival, but cheap ones use to be mostly sold in advance, so expect to pay more than 20 €.
