General ticket information from Bochum: Season tickets converted into day tickets

Following VfL Bochum’s relegation play-off against Fortuna Düsseldorf, only a few season tickets for the 2024/2025 season were returned. The club converted these into day tickets and refrained from selling new season tickets ahead of the new season.

Except for season ticket holders, all VfL Bochum club members can purchase 2 day tickets for each match. As a rule, only season ticket holders and members have the chance to obtain a coveted ticket for VfL Bochum matches. Free tickets are only sold when security aspects such as fan rivalry and stadium capacity are considered.

VfL Bochum tickets: How do advance sales work?

Several days before the start of sales, members and season ticket holders will receive an e-mail with the date and time of the pre-sale start. Once members and season ticket holders have logged into the ticket shop using the e-mail address linked to their membership or season ticket, the available tickets for the respective matches will be visible.

In this specific example, members and/or season ticket holders have the opportunity to secure their tickets for the 2nd Bundesliga home match against Holstein Kiel in advance.

Black market traders found around the stadium will also be banned from the stadium.
