Find Soccer Tickets online

Soccer tickets are rare

In its more than 60 years of existence, the Bundesliga has developed into one of the most exciting football leagues in Europe. With just under 38,500 spectators watching a match, it is also the league with the highest attendance in the world. In the 2025/26 season, nearly 12 million football fans came to watch a total of 306 Bundesliga matches live in the stadium. The demand for football tickets is high. So for example all FC Bayern Munich home matches are completely sold out before the start of a new season.

The probability of being able to successfully order Bundesliga tickets online directly from your favourite club is probably just as high as winning the lottery. But how do the many football fans in Germany still manage to get their hands on football tickets? The answer is viagogo, ticketbande or stubhub. These are online providers of football tickets who sell tickets legally and usually in co-operation with the clubs on the so-called secondary ticket market.

Just how difficult it has become to obtain Bundesliga tickets can be illustrated by the example of the German record champions FC Bayern Munich. FC Bayern currently has over 400,000 members. In addition, there are over 4,200 official fan clubs with a total of around 324,000 members. However, the capacity of the Allianz Arena is just 75,000 spectators, minus the annual tickets and boxes (approx. 38,000), guest contingent (approx. 6,700), fan club programme (approx. 10,000) and contract tickets (approx. 2,500), just under 18,000 day tickets are available for free sale.

For normal fans without a club or fan membership, it is therefore almost impossible to get Bundesliga tickets. Not only FC Bayern but also Borussia Dortmund, FC Schalke 04 and other clubs have the problem of being completely overbooked. Numerous clubs could now sell twice as many tickets for many of their matches if the stadium capacity allowed it.

The run for soccer tickets

The “run” for football tickets has been in full swing for some time now and it is becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of them. There is simply an undersupply of tickets and this situation will not improve noticeably in the near future. Even for fan clubs, it has become more difficult to get tickets despite the special contingent. Added to this is the fact that fan clubs are quickly formed and there has also been a real boom here in recent years. We have put together ten tips for you on how to get tickets despite the high demand and what you should bear in mind when buying Bundesliga tickets:

Only join a fan club if you really back the cause. Nobody likes to have people in their fan club who are only interested in cheap Bundesliga tickets. Ordering tickets online has become very convenient and easy, but try to plan your visit to the stadium well in advance. A week before the start of the match, it is unlikely to be possible to get tickets for a fair price.

Use the services of online ticket dealers such as Viagogo, StubHub or Sportsevents365. Here you will definitely find Bundesliga tickets for your club. Avoid unofficial ticket exchanges and providers. This also includes private auctions on platforms such as eBay. The private sale of football tickets for commercial purposes or above the original price is illegal. If you are nevertheless looking for Bundesliga tickets on the internet and do not buy them from a licensed ticket dealer, remember that they should always be sold at a “humane” price. To rule out the black market, always pay attention to the original price.

Join a Facebook group that sells/exchanges tickets in the spirit of fair play and at the original price. You will often find something here.
