The most reliable method of buying Bundesliga match tickets is through the official club sites. It’s worth checking them regularly for ticket sales information, ticket release dates and availability. Season ticket holders often get first dibs, followed by members and then the general public. Many clubs offer priority access to pre-sales and better ticket options to members, so you could consider signing up if you plan to attend multiple games.
Practically all German clubs have ticket offices at their stadiums, where tickets can be bought in advance or on match day itself, if still available. This is particularly useful for local fans or if the stadium is centrally located.
However, for those looking to secure seats at high-profile Bundesliga matches throughout the season, such as Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund ('Der Klassiker') and Hamburger SV vs Werder Bremen ('Nordderby'), it’s a good idea to try and buy tickets as early as possible, before they sell out.
You can get tickets on secondary platforms like SeatPick, where tickets start from €33.
How much are Bundesliga match tickets?
On the whole, Bundesliga match ticket prices are relatively good value, and Germany is still one of the few European countries where standing is still an option. German clubs do use category pricing, though, which can drive up prices for the top matches during the season.
The average Bundesliga ticket price ranges from €75 to €135. Here are some examples of match ticket pricing:
| Club | Low | High | Average |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bayern Munich | €225 | €1,115 | €305 |
| Borussia Dortmund | €215 | €840 | €295 |
| Bayer Leverkusen | €100 | €260 | €140 |
| Werder Bremen | €190 | €365 | €235 |
| Borussia Monchengladbach | €110 | €250 | €190 |
The Bundesliga also famously has the "50+1" rule, ensuring clubs are majority-owned by members rather than single investors. This keeps ticket prices relatively affordable compared to other top European leagues.
