#B04VfB 10,000 crowd limit – Tickets go to season card holders

The Federal government has opened the way and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia has amended the Covid-19 regulations accordingly: Since last week, up to 10,000 spectators are permitted to attend matches. The first Bundesliga game for the Werkself affected by the new crowd limit rule is on Saturday 12 February (kick-off: 18.30 CET) against VfB Stuttgart. Tickets for the clash with the Swabian team will be drawn from season card holders who opted for the ‘Draw’ option.

The season card holders drawn out will have their usual seats at the BayArena. They will be provided with further information via email in the coming days and their tickets will be dispatched in the same way.
