The reasons for this are, on the one hand, the higher purchase price of products as well as the increased transport and logistics costs. Staff costs have also increased.
Beer (0.5 litres of Pils or Kölsch) will cost €4.60 in the new season. That represents an increase of 40 cents compared with the 2021/22 season. The adjustment for non-alcoholic drinks is 30 cents with 0.5 litres of cola or apple spritzer now costing €4.30 for example.
The same applies to food at the BayArena: Black and Red fans will now have to pay €3.90 for a Bratwurst, which is 60 cents more than last season. Unfortunately, the developments listed above have made it impossible for Bayer 04 to avoid making these price adjustments.
