I came here by myself for a 21.10 kick-off on a Monday night and bought the ticket at the stadium an hour before the game (720 pesos) without issue. The stadium is a good one and the atmosphere is unreal- the fans do not stop singing and at times the stand genuinely was shaking. The area did not seem as bad as I expected and you can get very close to the stadium by public transport. I stayed until the end and took the no.17 bus from round the corner from the stadium up to Recoleta then changed bus. I was back in Palermo a little over an hour after the final whistle. There are so many people and police around after the final whistle that I think there’s minimal chance of you running into any trouble as long as you head straight to get the bus/train and know where you’re going. A fantastic evening out!

If you are a football - soccer fan, especially from outside South America there is nothing like experiencing the crowd passion and intensity as in Buenos Aries Argentina. Racing Club Stadium is old and decrepit but it does not diminish the experience. My driver said that the murder rate had declined since they banned alcohol !!
