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.
