HSV has made its mark in the Bundesliga not only in terms of sports but also in atmosphere. The fans are currently setting an impressive standard.
After a rocky start to the season with just one point from three games, Hamburger SV is now fully competing in the Bundesliga standings. Equally impressive: the Rothosen are also setting the standard in the stands. At the away game in Leipzig last weekend, around 10,000 traveling HSV fans created a goosebump-inducing atmosphere in the Red Bull Arena. This is a record, as never before have so many away fans been present in Leipzig.
The Hanseatic support is both loud and record-breaking: According to an analysis by the platform Die Falsche 9, HSV clearly leads the Bundesliga ranking for away fans. On average, 7,250 supporters accompany their team across the entire country. This is more than any other club in the league. Thus, the northern supporters are ahead of giants like FC Bayern (7,000) or arch-rivals Werder Bremen (5,175) and FC St. Pauli (5,067).
Whether in Gladbach (8,000 fans), Munich (8,500), or Berlin (2,500) – everywhere it is evident how passionately HSV fans support their club. Even in recent years, the support was gigantic. But the return to the Bundesliga after a seven-year absence has sparked a massive wave of euphoria. Week after week, the ticket allocation for away games is completely sold out within minutes. The demand far exceeds the supply.
And in their home Volksparkstadion, the Rothosen can also rely on their supporters. The three previous matches were all sold out. For the upcoming match against VfL Wolfsburg (October 25, 3:30 PM), no tickets are available either. An end to the ticket hype is currently hardly in sight.
