Tickets

Plan ahead. Usually from £15. Could not confirm sale lead times from an official page; the club shop (shop.get-vibe.de) lists matches as they open.

1. 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.
2. Check the Vorverkauf (advance sale) dates for your match and note whether it is still members only or open to everyone.
3. Create a free account in the online shop with your name, address and email.
4. Choose the match, then pick a block on the stadium map. The standing blocks (Stehplatz) are the cheapest and the loudest.
5. Pay by card or PayPal and print the ticket or save it to your phone as a PDF or wallet pass.
