How to Get Bayern Munich Tickets

A Bundesliga night at the Allianz Arena is one of the great European football experiences – but Bayern Munich tickets are among the hardest to get in Germany. event-breaks.com explains how the club's membership and official sale work, why casual fans and international visitors so often miss out, and the secure route to authentic tickets for the record champions even without going through the club.

FC Bayern Munich, founded in 1900, are the undisputed powerhouse of German football and one of the most successful clubs in the history of the sport. Every home game at the Allianz Arena draws a global audience, and for international fans – whether travelling from Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Dublin – reliable tickets are notoriously hard to come by. A matchday in Munich is a trip to plan carefully rather than leave to chance.

How does the official Bayern Munich ticket sale work?

The regular sale runs through the club, and demand vastly outstrips supply. Home games are effectively sold out through season-ticket holders and members, and what little reaches wider sale disappears within minutes. For an international visitor with no membership and no purchase history, the official direct route almost never produces a ticket for a specific date.

Do I need a membership to buy Bayern Munich tickets?

A club membership brings priority and pre-sale access, plus a stronger position for popular fixtures – but it is no guarantee of a ticket, and even members frequently miss out on the biggest games. It also requires signing up well in advance and, in practice, building up history with the club. For a one-off trip from abroad, membership is rarely a realistic path to a specific matchday.

What does a Bayern Munich ticket cost?

Bundesliga face-value prices are famously fan-friendly: standing and upper-tier seats can start from around €20–35, with better seated categories roughly €45–100 depending on the opponent. The catch is availability – at those prices the tickets are gone almost instantly. Hospitality and VIP packages, where offered, typically run from around €300 to well over €1,000 with lounge access, catering and premium seats. On the unofficial secondary market, prices for the biggest games climb far higher.

Are Bayern Munich tickets personalised?

Yes. Tickets are digital and delivered to a mobile device, usually activated close to kick-off and shown as a QR code; each visitor needs their own ticket. Because everything is digital and account-based, buying through dubious channels carries a real risk of fakes and refused entry – which is why the source of your ticket matters.

How do I get Bayern Munich tickets as an international fan?

Getting seats without a membership and without years of history with the club is all but impossible through the official direct route. The secure, plannable alternative is a travel provider that reliably delivers authentic tickets combined with a hotel in Munich. event-breaks.com specialises in exactly this for international supporters: the secure, verified delivery of genuine tickets, with a wide choice of seating categories and, on request, more affordable standard options as well as premium seats. Rather than gambling on the opaque black market – where fakes and refused entry are common – you get a reliable ticket and a planned trip from a single source.

Where are the best seats at the Allianz Arena?

The Allianz Arena is a steep, purpose-built football ground with excellent sightlines and a famously loud atmosphere. As a guide:

• Lower tier, long sides: close to the pitch, intense atmosphere – highly sought-after.
• Behind the goal (the Südkurve is Bayern's vocal home end): the heart of the noise and colour.
• Upper tier: further back but a superb overall view of the game.
• Business / VIP: premium seats with lounge access and catering – the most comfortable way in.

For first-time visitors who mainly want the spectacle, a seat in the lower tier of the long sides is a good balance of proximity and atmosphere.

The Allianz Arena: Munich's glowing football landmark

Opened in 2005 in the Fröttmaning district, the Allianz Arena holds around 75,000 for domestic games and is famous worldwide for its illuminated inflatable-panel façade, which glows red on Bayern matchdays. As a pure football stadium with steep stands, it generates a dense, powerful acoustic, with the Südkurve driving the atmosphere. The U6 underground line links the city centre directly to the ground.

Frequently asked questions about Bayern Munich tickets (FAQ)

Can you buy Bayern Munich tickets at the stadium on matchday?
No. There is effectively no walk-up box office for single tickets to sold-out games. Tickets must be secured in advance – and for international visitors, a travel provider is usually the realistic route.

Does a membership guarantee a ticket?
No. Membership brings priority only. Even members regularly miss out on the biggest fixtures, and it is rarely practical for a one-off trip from abroad.

Is it safe to buy Bayern Munich tickets on the secondary market or social media?
No, this is strongly advised against. As tickets are digital and account-based, you risk fakes and refused entry. Use a reliable provider such as event-breaks.com instead.

How do I get tickets for Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund?
This is the most in-demand fixture of the season and effectively never reaches open sale. Realistically, access is via a travel or hospitality package.

Are there discounts for children?
On regular tickets, sometimes yes; on travel packages, a single price per person usually applies.
