The plan

  1. Tue 8 Dec: fly outLondon to Dortmund (Wizz Air), or Düsseldorf, typical return £61–£120. Budget room about £40 a night.
  2. Wed 9 Dec: match dayKick-off 21:00 local time at Signal Iduna Park. From Hauptbahnhof take the U45 to the Stadion stop, with trains at least every 5 minutes from about 3 hours before kick-off; or the U42/U46 to the Westfalenhallen stops. The ticket covers the return trip. Exact ride time not confirmed; Dortmund Hbf to the ground is short (stadium is just south of the centre).
  3. Thu 10 Dec: fly home

Tickets

Very hard. Usually from £15. Free sale for Bundesliga home games usually starts 4 to 6 weeks before the match, and members usually get access 1 to 2 days earlier (club Vorverkaufstermine page).

  1. Open the BVB ticket shop at ticket-onlineshop.com/ols/bvb and register an account with your email and postal address.
  2. Join BVB as a member on bvb.de (about EUR 62 per season); it ranks you above the public but does not guarantee tickets.
  3. Check the shop for your match: it shows whether it is in member sale, a public lottery, or general sale, and which opens first.
  4. If a lottery is offered, register your interest and wait for the result on the draw day, then pay for any tickets you win.
  5. In an open sale, choose a block and seats, pay by card and receive the ticket digitally.
