Barcelona Night Card: 22 clubs for the price of one
Attention all clubbers! The Barcelona Night Card gives you access to 22 of the city’s clubs for a single payment of 10 or 20 euros.
The Barcelona Night Card: what is it?
The principle behind the Barcelona Night Card is very simple: you simply buy a card which then gives you free access to 22 of the city’s nightlife venues.
Advantages of the Barcelona Night Card
- Huge savings if you’re planning more than one night out (for example, entry to the Sutton alone costs 20 euros)
- Queue jumping privileges: no more waiting!
- The number of participating clubs
- Two options: the 20 euro card gets you unlimited access to 22 clubs for 7 days, whilst the 10 euro option offers the same benefits but for a period of 2 days.
Conditions:
- The card must be used over 2 or 7 consecutive days – so you’re not going to be able to use it on two different weekends.
- You must be over 18 or 21, depending on the club you want to go to.
- You’ll need to arrive at the club before 2am.
- The Barcelona Night Card is personal and non-transferable.
- Cards must be collected from one of Barcelona’s tourist information centres by presenting your confirmation email.
- Note that the Barcelona Night Card is not valid in cases where the club in question is hosting a special event (New Year’s Eve, concerts, celebrity DJs etc.) – but this is relatively rare.
