Away fans are not permitted; spectators must be double vaccinated, have recovered from the virus or have a negative test. Children over the age of six need a certified, negative test result. The relevant documents are to be shown on entering the stadium.
Tickets cost five euros. All proceeds go to the 'Leverkusen hilft' campaign organised by the Leverkusen community foundation.
