On 18 August 2024, VfL Bochum will travel to Regensburg for the start of the season, where they will host SSV Jahn Regensburg from the 2nd division in the DFB Cup. The Bochum team has been preparing intensively in South Tyrol for the upcoming 2024/2025 season and is excited about the cup opener at the Jahn Stadium. For fans who want to make the long journey from Bochum to Regensburg, online ticket sales started on Friday, 2 August 2024 at 10:00 a.m.

VfL Bochum ticket sales: Only club members and season ticket holders admitted

VfL fans’ anticipation for the new season is huge, but ticket sales for the away trip are reserved for members and season ticket holders for VfL Bochum’s home games only. Ticket sales are limited to 2 tickets per person and are scheduled to end at 09:00 on Tuesday 13 August 2024.

The Jahnstadion in Regensburg has a total capacity of 15,210 spectators, of which 1804 seats are in the guest area according to the Regensburg website. The guest contingent is divided into 886 standing and 918 seated places. Tickets for the home team have been on free sale since 25 July 2024, including the seats near the guest block.

VfL Bochum tickets: hardly any tickets on sale?

Tickets for both home and away VfL Bochum matches are available via the online ticket shop. The tickets are generally reserved for members and season ticket holders. Tickets rarely go on sale to the public and are therefore rarely available to all fans of the team from the Ruhrpott. Whether tickets go on sale to the public depends on factors such as stadium capacity utilisation and risk assessment.

The club will send an e-mail to fans with the right of first refusal several days before the match days, informing them of the start of ticket sales. Members and season ticket holders must log in to the VfL Bochum ticket shop with their linked e-mail address to view the tickets available for sale. Fans who want to support their favourite club in the stadium need to be quick. Tickets are often sold out within a few minutes.

Secondary ticket market: VfL Bochum demands fee for resale

There are currently no matches available for this pairing.

All fans have the opportunity to purchase tickets via a secondary market in the club’s internal ticket shop. There, all buyers and season ticket holders have the chance to resell their tickets for a fee of 10 per cent. Alternatively, you can also find tickets here on our website.

The club organisers warn against buying tickets via platforms such as Ebay or Facebook. Bochum have frequently had to warn their fans about illegally purchased tickets. Black market traders are prosecuted and banned from the stadium. Season ticket holders and members are threatened with cancellation or expulsion from the club.

VfL Bochum: Ticket price increase for the 2024/2025 season

The increase in ticket prices for VfL Bochum matches has been received differently by VfL fans in the Pott. While some fans are outraged, the price increase is understandable for other fans. The club justifies the price increase with increased maintenance expenses, minimum wages and other price increases.

Those responsible at the club referred to the last increase, which took place in the 2021/2022 season. The income from ticket sales is an important pillar of the club’s financing. The 18,000 season tickets that the club will make available in the 2024/2025 season are also affected by the price increase. With a capacity of 26,000, the Vonovia Ruhrstadion is one of the smaller stadiums in the 1st Bundesliga.

VfL Bochum ticket prices compared to the 2023/2024 season

The club raised ticket prices by 10 to 18 per cent in the seating area and by 3 to 11 per cent in the standing area in the east curve. A season ticket in the standing area will cost €246 for full payers in the upcoming 2024/2025 season. Members of VfL Bochum will now pay 208.50 euros for such a ticket instead of the 192 euros from the 2023/2024 season.
