Last Monday I decided to visit Tigre against Union Santa Fe. I had other options in Buenos Aires but I am really glad I made the long trip to watch Tigre. There are railworks ongoing at the moment so direct trains are not available. It was metro, train, bus and train again but I would have made it again just to take part in that game. After arriving at Victoria station it was a nice 10 minute walk. Plenty of fans on the streets singing and dancing. Tickets were sold from a booth outside the stadium( 200 pesos) and it was a plastic card with nothing on it. Before entering the ground id was required. Locals were very happy to see people coming to watch their team. Amazing atmosphere by the fans behind the goal. Tigre went 2 nil down early and had to chase the game. They managed to get a draw. We got a train and then taxi back( very cheap). I would really recommend going there as atmosphere was amazing.
I visited the staduim in April for the games v Estudiantes. You can buy tickets from a bus/ ticket office outside the staduim. Ours cost about £7 and were on the terrace which is raised along the touch line above the dugouts. Well worth the the money because when we got into the staduim there was a reserve team match on before the main game ! You can walk round to the curved stand behind the goal if you wish where most of the singing was coming from. Felt really safe at this staduim and the locals seemed really happy that we had gone to watch their team ! If you are just going to Tigre to watch a game make an afternoon of it, Tigre the place which is at the end of the line from Buneos Aires is great.its a bit of an escape town from the city, there’s loads of bars and restaurants along the river and it’s only just an hour from Buneos Aires.
