A small ground, so games against bigger names and Hamburg derbies sell out; other games are usually fine at general sale.

Price checked on the club's ticket page for Holstein Kiel v Arminia Bielefeld, 7 Nov 2026 (2026/27 advance price list) on 25 October 2026.

Buying a ticket, step by step

When tickets go on sale: Members buy first (21 Oct 12:00), season-ticket holders and past customers next (22 Oct), free sale from 23 Oct 12:00 for the 7 Nov match; 4 tickets per person.

Membership: KSV Holstein member. It gets you in before general sale, but you don't need it.

  1. Open the Ticketinfos page at holstein-kiel.de, which explains prices, sale phases and links to the online shop (ticket-onlineshop.com/ols/holstein-kiel).
  2. Join the shop's queue if shown, then register a free account with your details.
  3. Pick the match and check whether it is in the members phase or open to all.
  4. Choose a block. Standing places behind the goal are cheapest; seated blocks cost a bit more.
  5. Pay online by card or PayPal and save the mobile ticket.
  6. Carry the ticket on your phone to the turnstile on matchday.
