Bayer Leverkusen tickets 2026/27

1. Bookmark the Ticket-Überblick

The club's "Ticket-Überblick" news item on bayer04.de is the reference for every sale. Each game appears there with its link to the ticket shop once it is on sale, and a game whose tickets have gone is marked "Tickets vergriffen", so the overview also tells you at a glance whether the club still has seats.

2. What the overview covers now

The version of 19 October listed the Bundesliga home games up to Paderborn on 21 November, the DFB-Pokal tie with Nürnberg and the Europa League home game with Marseille on 5 November. Later home games, including Besiktas, Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, were not yet on sale.

3. Fixed dates and moving ones

The Europa League games are set: Besiktas on Thursday 10 December and Red Bull Salzburg on Thursday 21 January, both at 9pm. The Bundesliga games are less certain. Borussia Dortmund is pencilled in for Saturday 3 April, with the date and time still to be confirmed by the DFL, and no kick-off time has been found yet for Bayern Munich on Saturday 15 May. More European fixtures are on our Europa League tickets page.

4. Coming as a group

Group tickets for home games are offered separately from single tickets, so if you are organising a supporters' club trip or a group of friends, look for the group offer rather than buying ticket by ticket.

5. When a game is sold out

Once the overview marks a game "Tickets vergriffen", the club has nothing left to sell, and the resale market is the remaining route. Until then, the club's price is usually the cheaper option, so compare it with resale listings before you buy.

Two games set the top of Leverkusen's resale range. Bayer Leverkusen v Besiktas tickets and Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich tickets start at a similar level, with Bayer Leverkusen v Borussia Dortmund tickets a step below. Red Bull Salzburg in January starts far lower than all three.

Within a game, most listings carry the name of one of the four stands. The Südtribüne is usually where the named stands start; the Osttribüne, Westtribüne and Nordtribüne sit higher, and for Salzburg the Nordtribüne is the dearest of them. Some sellers drop the umlauts, so "Sudtribune" and "Westtribune" are the same stands under another spelling. Salzburg also has listings by category, with Category 2 lowest, then Category 1 Silver, Category 1 Gold and Category 1, and hospitality is listed apart.

Sellers set their own prices, which can be above face value, and the final price is shown before you pay.

Leverkusen play at the BayArena on Bismarckstraße, in the Küppersteg district about 1 km from Leverkusen Mitte station. Bayer 04 give its capacity as 30,210 for the Bundesliga and 29,412 for European matches, when the home standing area is seated. Resale listings use the German stand names:

• Nordtribüne (North Stand), behind the north goal: the home end, with the standing area for Bayer's core fan groups in its lower part and the stadium hotel built into it.
• Südtribüne (South Stand), behind the south goal, built with boxes and housing the club offices.
• Westtribüne (West Stand), the main stand along the west touchline.
• Osttribüne (East Stand), opposite, with the Schwadbud fan bar.

Visiting supporters have their own section, blocks SG1-SG3, with a dedicated entrance. "Shortside" listings are behind a goal and "Longside" along the touchline; category listings for European games describe a price band, so check the area before you pay.

Leverkusen Mitte, served by the RE 1, RE 5 and S6 from Köln Hbf, is about 20 minutes' walk. For step-free travel, Bayer 04 recommend the S6 to Leverkusen Chempark and its accessible shuttle buses. Gates open two hours before kick-off, bags larger than A4 are refused and kiosks are cashless. Match tickets include VRS and VRR public transport on matchdays, but check the conditions for European games.

The Ticket-Überblick covers away games as well as home games, each with its on-sale link, so Leverkusen fans planning a trip use the same overview, and the club's car-sharing portal can help with the journey.

Late November brings two away trips in quick succession: Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League on Thursday 26 November, then Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga that weekend. At Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund say the North Stand blocks and the north-east corner suit visiting supporters, and away colours are banned in BVB's standing blocks and in the south-east and south-west corners. At the Allianz Arena, where Leverkusen are provisionally due in mid-January, away ticket holders have their own entrance on the north-west side, reached from Fröttmaning station.
