FC St. Pauli has announced the ticket sales procedure for the eagerly anticipated home match against the reigning German champions, Bayer Leverkusen. This face-off is set for April 20, 2025, at 7:30 PM at the Millerntor Stadium.
As the club prepares for this monumental clash, they've set clear guidelines for ticket purchases. Starting on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at 11:00 AM, club members who do not hold a season ticket, fan curve ticket, or season package will have the opportunity to acquire tickets for this exciting match. Notably, there will be no free sales or sales to existing customers; a move aimed at ensuring that loyal members have the first chance to support their team.
Each eligible member can purchase up to two tickets, though no more than one can be a standing ticket. This chance comes in light of anticipated high demand; it's already being suggested that after the pre-sale for members, additional tickets will be unlikely to be available.
The official ticket resale market, integrated within the ticket online shop, will open on April 7, 2025. From this date, fans who have previously purchased tickets can sell them online, granting access to those unable to secure tickets in the initial sale. However, it’s crucial to note that tickets listed on resale platforms like Viagogo or classified ads are not permitted. Such transactions violate club policies, and any tickets bought this way will not be valid for entry.
Access to the online shop on sales days will operate through a random process. Fans seeking tickets will gather in a waiting room half an hour prior to the sale. Once the sale begins, they will be granted access in random order, ensuring fairness among those eager to support the team.
Fans purchasing tickets online can only select the 'Digital Ticket' shipping option, which means they will receive an email with a link to their tickets, viewable in their user account in the ticketing system. These can be utilized as mobile tickets or print-at-home options for convenience.
For those who prefer to purchase by phone, the ticket hotline is available at 0 18 06 - 99 77 19, which charges a fee of 0.20 € per call from a German landline. It's recommended that online purchases be prioritized to avoid long hold times.
The match day experience will also cater to fans with disabilities. There are various ticket offers available for wheelchair users, those with visual impairments (including hearing aid seating), and others requiring assistance. Application requests must be submitted via email before the cut-off date of April 8, 2025, ensuring that all fans can enjoy the match day atmosphere.
Additionally, family tickets are available in block N1, designed for adults attending with children at a reduced price. These tickets are only available through email or the ticket hotline, emphasizing the family-friendly approach of FC St. Pauli.
Children under seven years old can obtain a lap ticket for free entry, but a valid adult ticket must be presented, as well as proof of the child's age. With all these arrangements, FC St. Pauli is ensuring a seamless, enjoyable match day experience for all fans.
The club advises supporters to check the official website for further game day information and ticket details, ensuring they are fully prepared for this exciting encounter with Bayer Leverkusen.
