BVB brings fairer system: new rule for online ticket sales | OneFootball

Since the day before yesterday, a change implemented by BVB in its online ticket sales has been in effect to further curb the black market for the coveted BVB tickets and ensure more fairness in their distribution. Now and in the future, all members who wish to purchase tickets as such must go through an additional step when registering in the online ticket shop.

Due to the consistently immense demand for tickets online, a virtual waiting room has existed for several years, where one waits until being forwarded to the actual ticket purchase. From now on, you must register for this waiting room with the email address that is also registered with the BVB membership, as reported by Ruhr 24. You will then receive a new access code for each registration via email, and only with this code can you access the waiting room. The code obtained in this way is only valid for ten minutes.

With this, Borussia Dortmund aims to ensure that each member can only be present in the waiting room with one online identity and does not use multiple devices or accounts to increase their chances of accessing the actual ticket sale. The presence of bots or fake accounts will thus be excluded. The subsequent process of selecting and booking tickets remains unchanged.

New Access Code for Waiting Room Registration Each Time

As in previous years, Borussia Dortmund has allocated 55,000 of the available over 80,000 seats via season tickets. About 10 percent of the total capacity of Signal Iduna Park is given to the visiting club's supporters. Therefore, there is an immense rush for the remaining approximately 17,000 tickets per BVB home game when sales are activated, which will now at least be reduced by the mentioned bots and fake accounts.

The chances of getting tickets for Borussia Dortmund's home games remain relatively low, given the current 238,000 members – with a tendency to continue growing – and thus potentially particularly interested individuals, although not negligible.
