Rush for tickets as BVB face FC Bayern in the Klassiker | OneFootball

The game electrifies the masses. On matchday 24, it’s time once again for the “Klassiker.” Borussia Dortmund will host FC Bayern Munich at their home Signal Iduna Park. The demand for tickets is enormous.

The first leg at the Allianz Arena was a rarity. In the past 27 Bundesliga matches, BVB has suffered just one defeat. On October 18, 2025, the Black and Yellows lost 1-2 at FC Bayern. Harry Kane (32) and Michael Olise (24) put the record champions 2-0 ahead. Julian Brandt (29) managed only to pull one back.

Whether Borussia will succeed in taking revenge on February 28 from 6:30 p.m. is of interest to nearly every member of the Westphalian Bundesliga club. According to the club, as of Tuesday (January 27), around 200,000 people have applied for 400,000 tickets for the clash with Munich. Around 238,000 people hold a BVB membership.

Whoever counts themselves among the lucky ones, one thing is already certain: the Westfalenstadion will be completely sold out. This comes as little surprise, since after every top-flight match this season, the announcement has been: “Sold out!”

BVB has been waiting a long time for a home win against FC Bayern

All those who support the Black and Yellows have not been able to celebrate a home win for their beloved club in many years. Dortmund last defeated FCB at home in the 2019 Supercup. Paco Alcácer (now 32) and Jadon Sancho (now 25) secured a 2-0 victory.

The last Bundesliga win goes back even further. In November 2018, Borussia beat their rivals from Säbener Straße 3-2. Marco Reus (now 36) for BVB and Robert Lewandowski (now 37) for Munich made it 2-2. It was Paco Alcácer who scored the decisive goal to make it 3-2.
