Bayern and BVB tickets without membership: how to get into the stadium

Tickets for the home matches of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are hard to come by on the open market – most go to members and season-ticket holders. The most reliable way into the stadium without a club membership is a travel package that already includes the match ticket. That's exactly what fussball-reisen.ch has offered from Switzerland for over 35 years.

Why are Bayern and Dortmund tickets so hard to get?

The Allianz Arena in Munich has sold out virtually every Bundesliga home match since 2005. In Dortmund, Signal Iduna Park holds 81,365 spectators – around 55,000 of them season-ticket holders. A large share of seats is therefore taken before general sale even begins. The few tickets on open sale for popular matches are often gone within minutes, and are frequently given to club members first.

Do you need a membership to get tickets?

No – a membership isn't mandatory. Without one, however, your chances on general sale are much lower, especially for attractive fixtures: according to its own membership FAQ, Bayern Munich gives members priority when allocating tickets – but with around 400,000 members it cannot guarantee tickets even to them. That leaves little for non-members on general sale. If you want a guaranteed place in the stadium without chasing tickets, book a trip with the match ticket included. Your seat is then guaranteed – no membership, waiting list or ballot required.

The reliable alternative: the travel package with a ticket

With fussball-reisen.ch you travel by EUROBUS comfort coach from Switzerland directly to the stadium – the match ticket is included, with a hotel on request. Everything from a single source: you handle neither the ticket hunt nor the journey or parking.

You can board at the EUROBUS terminal in Windisch, in Winterthur or at the Thurau and St. Margrethen service stations.

How do I receive my ticket?

For Bayern Munich, stadium entry is digital: you download the free «FC Bayern App» to your smartphone, and the ticket is sent before departure to the email address you gave when booking. For trips to Dortmund, our tour guide hands out the tickets in person after arriving at the hotel. You'll find detailed notes under Information.

What is «Der Klassiker» – and why are its tickets especially scarce?

«Der Klassiker» is the top match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund – the biggest fixture in German football. Demand is correspondingly high, and tickets are even harder to get than for other home matches. Here too: a travel package with a guaranteed ticket is the reliable way into the stadium. As soon as such a match is in the programme, you'll find it in our trip overview.

Are my payments protected?

Yes. fussball-reisen.ch is part of EUROBUS AG and affiliated with the statutory Swiss Travel Guarantee Fund. The travel money you pay is therefore secured.
