On 28 July, Bayer 04 first play Heracles Almelo (kick-off: 15.00 CET) and then Vitesse Arnhem (kick-off: 17.00 CET) as they visit Leverkusen. And, exactly as with the double matchday against Fortuna Sittard and KAS Eupen, there will be no tickets sold on the day. The 1,200 match tickets priced at €3 are available exclusively from the Bayer 04 shop in Wiesdorf from 10.00 CET on Friday 19 July. Proceeds from the tickets sales will be donated to the Leverkusen Fan Project.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen take this opportunity to advise fans that there will be no away tickets for the two friendlies. There is no possibility of segregation at the academy so tickets can only be sold to Bayer 04 for safety reasons.
