Groupama Arena provides Budapest's premier venue for both sports and live performances. Opened in 2014 and holding 24,000 seats, Groupama is fully compliant with UEFA specifications, meaning that Ferencváros's home matches can be enjoyed by a large and enthusiastic crowd. This makes the arena quite the hostile soccer venue, especially when one takes into account that Ferencváros's support is some of the most fervent that one can find on this continent.
On the other hand, Groupama Arena is not used exclusively for soccer. This year, the stadium will also serve as host for four big concerts, and it is home to a total of eight different events (including qualifying tournament matches for Euro 2024). For artists, the Groupama Arena offers the perfect venue because it can deliver both an intimate and a grand experience. The arena is designed to provide sightlines and sound that engage and involve an audience — artists from rock legends to contemporary pop productions have taken advantage of this.
100% Authentic Tickets with Buyer Protection
The secondary ticket market could definitely use a refresh. By and large, fans don't trust it — and for good reasons: fraud, inflated prices, and unreliable delivery have given resale a bad name. A reliable resale system does more than reduce monetary risk; it ensures that purchased tickets are valid and will grant entry to the intended event. It also enables people with extra tickets to sell them to others who can use them to attend now-sold-out events, helping tickets find real fans rather than go unused.
This kind of secure resale approach helps guarantee that those who pay for seats — whether directly from the league, team, or from original ticket holders — will actually be able to occupy the places for which they paid.
At Groupama Arena, avant-garde architectural design successfully combines with respect for Hungarian traditions. The canopy-like construction, from which the roof is suspended, is among the lightest and most efficient of its kind in the world. It covers spectators and performers together and serves to magnify the sound, making even quiet passages audible to every seat. The façade uses reflective glass, creating bright interior light and reflecting the exchange between audiences and performers.
Construction of the new arena began in early 2012, with the first shovelfuls of earth moved on January 30. By December 2014, the new structure, surpassing its predecessor in capacity and technology, opened as the updated home of the Ferencváros sports club. The Groupama Arena soon earned the moniker "Fortress" from fans and quickly gained a reputation as a top venue for both matches and concerts.
Groupama Arena History
Construction of the new facility began in 2012 and the stadium opened in December 2014, replacing the older stadium and modernizing the club's home. The new venue preserved the spirit of Ferencváros while providing modern infrastructure, improved comfort and expanded capabilities for international fixtures and large-scale concerts.
