Government policy: No ticket sales allowed

The Werkself will most probably have to manage without the support of fans at matches for the first Bundesliga games in 2022. A decision on a new package of measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic was taken at a summit meeting of the national and state governments in Germany on Tuesday and that includes banning spectators from attending large sports events at a trans-regional level from 28 December.

That means there will be no tickets on sale for the first Bayer 04 home game of the New Year against Union Berlin. Season card holders have already been informed via email that they will not receive tickets for #B04FCU and will not be charged.

The game against the seventh-placed club will be played at the BayArena on Saturday, 8 January 2022 (kick-off: 15.30 CET).

#BMGB04: no ticket sales for now

Bayer 04 will not sell tickets for the away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday 15 January (kick-off: 18.30 CET) for the time being. If the situation changes, the club will provide updated information via email and the club media channels.

How long these measures will continue is unclear at the moment due to the rampant Omicron variant. The heads of the state governments and the Federal government are next due to meet on 7 January.

Neue Bestuhlung der BayArena

New seating for the BayArena - donation and reuse of existing seats

A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
