The first Family Day was held in March 2014 for the home game against Eintracht Braunschweig. That event was repeated in October 2014 against FC Paderborn, in October 2015 against FC Augsburg and in October 2016 against TSG Hoffenheim. There is always plenty to do at our Family Days with highlights for young and old Bayer 04 supporters alike, this time at the match against Wolfsburg on Sunday 15 October (kick-off 15.30 CET).
A key part of the event is the huge reduction in match tickets providing an unbeatable offer for families. Children up to 14 years of age pay just €1 for a ticket. The purchase of at least one child's ticket entitles fans to pay €10 for a concessionary ticket and €15 for a full-priced ticket.
Family tickets are available by phone from the Bayer 04 Service Centre on 0049 (0)214 5000 1904 and in person at the Bayer 04 shops as well as from the Service OST counter at the BayArena. Family tickets are not available via the ticket web shop.
Tickets are also available for this home match as normal and can be purchased through the usual channels.
There are also fantastic offers at the Bayer 04 shop at the BayArena on Sunday. All children's shirts are reduced from €59.90 to €39.90.
A 30 cm fabric Brian the Lion costs €9.90 (instead of €19.90). These offers only apply on 15 October 2017 while stocks last.
The stadium Bratwurst is also available at a special price, including a roll and a drink, for €5 instead of €7.
In addition to special ticket prices, there are also a host of other attractions for supporters. That particularly applies to our younger fans with plenty of activities on offer. That includes table football, a one-armed bandit, airbrush tattoos, Face painting, goal wall, football darts and inflatable slide: The kids can let off steam to their heart's desire ahead of the kick-off.
