How does it work?

Do i buy tickets before arriving at the stadium? To i present money to the lady at the turnstyle? Do i go to the ticket booth gameday? Do i use stubhub or some variant?

Im generally curious to see how it works from country to country.

In the US, you get your tickets before arriving at the stadium (usually). Then go to the security line and they scan you in

Just bought tickets for Spurs in the Premier League. From the team website and they shipped them to me here in the US.
 
Barcelona has team stores throughout the city where you can buy tickets. They have someone who walks you through it and shows you the view from the available seats. It was super convenient.

OTOH, when I was there 12-13 years ago, we just scalped tix.

Didn't you ask this a couple of months ago?

Anyway, you always buy tickets before you attend. Paying on the gate only happens in lower-league matches. Always buy from the club website - if you buy from somewhere like ticketmaster then you are buying tickets other fans have resold for profit. Also, there's no queues outside the stadium like there are in US grounds. The security checks are done inside the gates, and are much more casual than the x-ray scanners you have at Yankee Stadium. They ask to look in your bag (for about 0.3 seconds) to make sure you have no bottles of water, and then let you straight through. Most PL stadia have electronic scanners with bar codes to read your ticket/season ticket, so there's no staff necessary to control the gates (they are really not the kind of gates that you can jump over or get two people through.
 
Whenever I buy tickets to go watch América play at the Azteca I purchase tickets directly off of the team website. I don't want to run the risk of purchasing a fake ticket off a scalper or some sketchy website.

I bought season tickets for the first season of my hometown's new team FC Juarez on their official website. I could have bought them at the club offices, the stadium, or random grocery stores that have permission to sell the tickets.

I don't have a whole lot of experience buying tickets to sporting events outside of Mexico or the United States.

is this the custom in other parts of spain? i kinds sorta wanting to visit spain in spring and trying to get as many games as i can dont know how far ahead i gotta do it or if i can get them same day. not really into going to a real madrid or barcelona but more like getafe or rayo or atletico games.
 
I've only been to Camp Nou, but I'd assume it's just a Barcelona thing. Real Madrid might be big enough to have a similar set up, but a team like Rayo probably doesn't have the infrastructure.

Well they are. Known teams would be Barca, Real Madrid, Man Utd, PSG, Bayern Munchen, Roma etc

If you mean known worldwide by glory hunters than yes, West Ham is unknown. However, they have a rather large following in Britain and abroad. They're moving to Olympic park to make more room for fans to fill the stands.

Ask an American what West Ham is, and they have no clue what/where it is. Ask an American what New York City is...
