Tickets

Plan ahead. Usually from £15. Members and season-ticket holders buy first (Union Berlin 28 Nov: from 15 Oct), then free sale opens about 33 days before (26 Oct 10:00), with up to 10 tickets per person.

1. Open mainz05.de/tickets/ubersicht and look at the list of home fixtures for the match you want and its sale phase.
2. Pick the match and wait for the general sale (freier Verkauf) to open; earlier phases are for members and season-ticket holders.
3. Choose a seat category, add it to the basket and pay by card in the club's online shop; you create a free account at checkout.
4. Print the ticket or save it to your phone wallet; it also works as a public transport ticket in the Mainz and Rhine-Main area on matchday.
5. If the match is sold out, check the official ticket exchange on the same page in match week.
