The German states decided to run a six-week test on Tuesday, 15 September. Accordingly, at events with over 1,000 spectators, 20 per cent capacity will be permitted nationwide. There is, however, one restriction. If the seven-day infection rate per hundred thousand inhabitants in the venue of Leverkusen is 35 or more and there is no clear limit to the spread of infection then the game will be played behind closed doors. Good news: The number in Leverkusen over the last seven days was below the threshold.
The available tickets for the clash with Leipzig were allocated at the start of the week among season-ticket holders who took out the 'Draw' option.
