Insider tips: how FCB fans can get Bayern tickets more easily | OneFootball

For many fans, it is a big dream to experience a home game of FC Bayern live in the Allianz Arena. However, tickets are scarce, and most matches are overbooked multiple times. An insider reveals in a conversation with BILD two ways to increase your chances.

If you want a realistic chance at Bayern tickets, you should consider joining a fan club. The German record champion currently boasts an impressive 4,390 registered fan clubs, organized in different ticket programs.

The most attractive model is the so-called "All-Driver Program." Fan clubs registered here receive 45 tickets per home game. An example is the "FC Bayern Fan Club Nabburg/Oberpfalz," the largest of its kind in Germany with around 6,600 members. President Bernd Hofmann tells BILD: "We have been involved from the very first minute. That's why we are contacted every year."

However, this also means an enormous organizational effort. Hofmann has to collect ticket requests, manage the allocation, and organize travel with buses. "You have to go through with it in all weather conditions. In January during the last Champions League games, it's always a major organization," says the fan club chief.

Besides the All-Driver Program, there is also the "Regular-Driver Program," which guarantees five home games per season with 45 tickets each, or the "Basic Program" with one home game. Both variants are less demanding but also offer significantly fewer tickets.

Secondary Market as a Second Chance

Those who do not belong to a fan club and do not have a season ticket have a hard time. But there is another option: the official secondary ticket market of FC Bayern. Here, season ticket holders can legally pass on their tickets for individual games. The advantage: fans receive the tickets at the original price plus a moderate resale fee – exorbitant prices are excluded.

However, there are also restrictions here. Often, the secondary market is initially reserved for members, and especially for top games against Dortmund, Leipzig, or international opponents in the Champions League, tickets are hardly available. Hofmann reports: "There are games where a secondary market is never opened. There are those who sit permanently in front of the computer and quickly grab the tickets."

Nevertheless, it can be worthwhile to check regularly. "I have also experienced that there were 4,000 tickets on the secondary market, but no one wanted them," recalls the experienced fan club president.
