Buying a ticket, step by step
When tickets go on sale: For every home game the club sets its own presale date, exclusive to members, announced on official club channels; max two tickets per member per Bundesliga home game.
Membership: FC membership. You'll need it for most games.
- Create an FC account at fc.de and join the club as a member; non-members have no general sale on the pages we found.
- Check fc.de/service/stadionerlebnis/heimspiele for the sale dates of your home match (early-bird, 20+, member and U25 phases).
- Log in to the FC Ticketshop at sale time, usually 10:00, and buy up to two tickets.
- Choose the free digital day ticket; it appears under Meine Tickets and can go into your phone wallet.
- If the game is sold out, look for listings marked Ticketboerse in the shop (15 percent service fee), which also requires membership.
