Season tickets for the Bundesliga champions and DFB Cup winners are booming, and the demand for tickets for the Werkself's matches is higher than ever before. In the Bundesliga season just ended, the home section of the BayArena was sold out for all 17 matches, and season ticket sales had to be stopped last winter for the first time in the club's history when 21,400 of them were sold.
In order to be able to offer a balanced number of match and season tickets in the future, there will be no separate sale of season tickets for the new season. Any seats that become available will be allocated exclusively via a newly introduced waiting list. Bayer 04 will communicate all details on this and on the sale of match tickets for the coming season separately.
Markus Breglec, Chief Marketing & Innovation Officer of Bayer 04: "Our aim is always to be fan-friendly and offer the best possible conditions. The truth about this economically necessary decision is that our ticket prices have been in the lower third of the league table for years. With the new pricing model, we will continue to offer our fans in the BayArena attractive football at very fair prices."
The Werkself are away to Hamburg SV at the end of the Hinrunde in the 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign. The match at the newly promoted club is on Tuesday night, 13 January (kick-off: 20:30 CET). Ahead of the first encounter with HSV since 2018, Kasper Hjulmand spoke about the strengths of the opponents, lessons learnt from the home defeat against VfB Stuttgart and provided a squad update.

In Germany, the temperatures are currently around zero, leaving even professional footballers freezing - but not the Bayer 04 Women. Roberto Pätzold's team have fled the cold to the south and are preparing for the second half of the season at a training camp in the Algarve, almost 2,000 kilometres away from home as the crow flies. The Leverkusen squad landed in Faro on Saturday morning and have already completed the first three training sessions over the weekend.

It was a disappointing Saturday night. The Werkself lost 4-1 to VfB Stuttgart to start the new year on Bundesliga matchday 16 in 2025/26, a result that left both players and fans disappointed. "We played without any passion," said Alejandro Grimaldo honestly afterwards. Teammate Jarell Quansah was even more self-critical, emphasising: "We were miles off it in the first half. You can't put in a performance like that, especially in front of our own fans and I can only apologise to them, to be honest." Read on for the reaction, facts and stats from the clash with VfB Stuttgart in the Werkself review.
