Tickets

Plan ahead. Usually from £15. Some home games have an earlier sale for members and season-ticket holders who must log in to see them; others go straight to general sale. Dates are posted per match on vfl-bochum.de.

1. Open vfl-bochum.de and go to Shop & Tickets, then Ticketshop.
2. Register a free VfL.ID account (name, address, email); you need it to buy.
3. Pick the home match and check whether it is in members phase or general sale.
4. Choose a block. The Ostkurve standing area is the loudest and cheapest; side seats cost more.
5. Pay by card or PayPal and save the digital ticket to your phone.
