Open sale to non-members was used for Bundesliga home games in 2025-26 (Stuttgarter Zeitung, March 2026), but member presale comes first and the policy may change.
Buying a ticket, step by step
When tickets go on sale: Member presale first, then open sale; exact dates are announced per match on vfb.de.
Membership: VfB membership (priority only). It gets you in before general sale, but you don't need it.
- Open tickets.vfb.de (the VfB ticket shop, linked from vfb.de under Tickets) and register or log in with a verified email address.
- Open the page for your home match and see whether it is in member presale or free sale. In the 2025-26 Bundesliga season non-members could buy in an open sale for the home games so far.
- Pick a block and seats; the Gegengerade side areas often had seats left when sales opened to everyone.
- Pay by card. Tickets are delivered as a mobile ticket for your phone wallet or the VfB app.
- If the game is sold out, check the shop again in match week for returns and the official resale.
- Ticket holders normally get free public transport (KombiTicket) in the Stuttgart area on matchday; check the ticket details.
Tips
- Do not buy from Viagogo or similar: scams are common.
- The Stuttgarter Zeitung noted in March 2026 that open sale may not stay the norm, so check the shop before planning a trip.
