Buying a ticket, step by step
When tickets go on sale: Could not confirm sale lead times from an official page; the club shop (shop.get-vibe.de) lists matches as they open.
Membership: None needed for single tickets (members get priority). It gets you in before general sale, but you don't need it.
- Open fcenergie.de/tickets.html, which lists the sale phases and links to the club's online ticket shop run through shop.get-vibe.de.
- Check the Vorverkauf (advance sale) dates for your match and note whether it is still members only or open to everyone.
- Create a free account in the online shop with your name, address and email.
- Choose the match, then pick a block on the stadium map. The standing blocks (Stehplatz) are the cheapest and the loudest.
- Pay by card or PayPal and print the ticket or save it to your phone as a PDF or wallet pass.
- On matchday the e-ticket is scanned at the turnstile, so bring your phone fully charged.
