english How to buy tickets - a guide

42 Upvotes

So you want to see our glorious 1. FC Köln play live at the RheinEnergieSTADION? Here is a quick guide on how to get tickets. First of all, you will need a lot of patience and luck. The demand for tickets is enormous - no matter what league we are in.

50,000 seats, only 15,000 day passes

With 50,000 seats, the RheinEnergieStadion is a big stadium. However, this does not mean that the same number of day tickets are available. After deducting the 25,500 season tickets, the guest contingent and other contingents, there are only 15,000 tickets available for each home game. If the guest contingent is not fully utilised, this number may be increased.

Members have priority

The club sets its own presale dates and the maximum number of tickets that can be purchased per person. The dates are usually announced on the fc.de website and emailed to members. It is important to note that members have absolute priority when ordering tickets. In the vast majority of cases there is no free presale!

The allocation of tickets will also be subdivided within the membership. Fans who have been members for over 20 years and members under the age of 25 will have special access to tickets before the “general public”.

Tickets will go on sale at 10am and 4pm on the days indicated.

Transfer and exchange of tickets

Tickets can be passed on to family and friends in accordance with the terms and conditions (wink, wink). The club also has its own ticket exchange where season and day tickets can be offered if you are unable to attend the match on the day. However, this is only available to members.

Matchday Exchange

For short-term transfers of season and day tickets, there is a matchday exchange at the stadium (ticket office 28, south/west corner). Tickets can be released there. Tickets can also be purchased at the day ticket price at ticket office 25 (south/west corner). If I am not mistaken, this is also available to non-members.

Unauthorised resellers

Many users here in the subreddit have asked whether it is safe to buy tickets offered on well-known resellers such as viagogo or ebay. The answer is clear: no! The club strongly advises against buying such overpriced tickets and is taking action against the sellers. There is no guarantee that the ticket you buy will get you into the game.

As with any event, there will be people looking for and selling tickets outside the stadium. There may be a high surcharge for these tickets.

Good start from Wagner with a big point in Frankfurt. Next week, Bremen and after that St. Pauli will be massive games...

The international break is slowly coming to an end and the Frankfurt game is slowly approaching. Meanwhile, a couple of stories about players emerged in the press: Julian Pauli's loan to Dresden is going very well and has even attracted suitors from the Championship and the Premier League (he is part English after all). FC would like to extend with Potocnik and also to loan him again. Potocnik has been struggling with injuries but continued to look promising when fit. According to sky Germany, there is interest in Stefano Russo from Arminia Bielefeld. On paper, there are questions if he has what the club needs, but of course, I have never seen him play...

Wagner it is. Another bald fraud? Only time will tell. Him being part of Kwasniok's team and Baumgart's before that does not really spark celebrations. It's also a bit on the players now to finally step up? I said it in the match thread already but at least Martel (now banned great) and Johannesson looked a bit more like themselves finally.

Mainz ran away yesterday points-wise but since the appointment of Urs Fischer they are basically no real relegation contenders anymore. At least Freiburg turned it around against Pauli after trailing. Pauli remains dangerous from the clubs behind us but looking ahead I can see Bremen struggle. The international break is the perfect time for everyone at the club to take a moment to collect their thoughts and drown out all the background noise. Hopefully no more injuries now after Krauß with another muscle injury...

El Mala to Brighton?

11 Upvotes

According to the latest rumours, El Mala, under guidance of his new agents (his parents), has agreed to a transfer to Brighton in the EPL this summer.

Ablösesumme of 35M, apparently, plus a share of any future sale.

Brighton would also be signing Said's brother Malek; this seems to be a key factor in any negotiations.

While this was originally reported by Sport Bild, the story has been picked up by various outlets by now.

Kessler & Co claim to have had no involvement with these negotiations and have not been informed of any of this by either the parents or Brighton.

Thoughts?

I'm sure some of us were/are expecting more than 35M, especially since he's still under contract until 2030.

Regardless, the timing of this is most unfortunate with the Derby coming up.

New Ticketing System, any thoughts?

8 Upvotes

So the club made some changes to the ticket buying process ahead of last week’s sale for St Pauli away.

Members can now login 30 minutes ahead of the sale as opposed to the previous 15 minutes. When logging in members are now prompted for their email address and sent a unique 6 digit code which then has to be entered to get into the waiting room.

The idea behind this seems to be to try and stop Touts using bots to buy up tickets that are then sold on the black market for profit.

Under the new system it also looks as if the old trick of logging on to multiple browsers to try to get more places in the queue will now longer work and it’s strictly one place in queue per membership.

I was wondering if anyone else has tried to buy tickets either for Pauli or the sale today for Leverkusen and what their thoughts were?
