Dortmund Away

Impeccable One said:
I emailed the club and asked them when the next criteria would be announced for the Dortmund game, here’s their ‘helpful’ response ..

“Ticket information and criteria for away games is released approximately 3-4 weeks prior to the date of the game.

There is strict criteria in place for away fixtures whereby to qualify to purchase tickets you must be a Season Ticket holder with the qualifying amount of ticket points.

If you are not a Seasoncard holder with the qualifying points, unfortunately you will not be able to purchase away tickets unless the criteria reaches Cityzens Matchday members or general sale.”

Typical. The gatekeeping approach which leads to bigger problems long term as they don't fix a problem so get hundreds of people asking.

BVB Service - Ihre Anfrage
Dear Thomas Ritchie,

Many thanks for your message.

Only bags with a maximum size of DIN A4 and a maximum depth of 15 centimetres may be brought into SIGNAL IDUNA PARK.

You are welcome to leave your bag at the helmet stall until 45 minutes after the end of the match.

In addition to the familiar "Helmbude" at the bicycle guard in front of the northwest entrance and the "Abgabestelle Gast" (only for guest fans!) opposite the guest entrance on the north side of the stadium, a new "Abgabestelle Heim" (home drop-off point) and a new "Abgabestelle Gast" (guest drop-off point) have also been set up on Turnweg next to the Rote Erde stadium. The deposit fee is 0.50 euros.

However, due to the large number of people, we are unfortunately unable to give you a guarantee here. Alternatively, you could still lock your rucksack away in a locker at the station.
If you would like to leave your backpack at the Helmbude, we recommend arriving early. The Helmbude opens when the stadium opens (2.5 hours before kick-off) and then again 15 minutes before the end of the match until 45 minutes after the match.

For any further questions and information please do not hesitate to contact us.

with black & yellow greetings

Seats available in block 70 just jumped to 400, after being below 100 for last FIVE days.

Problem is, they haven’t lowered sales criteria from season ticket holders since LAST WEDNESDAY at 5pm.

Hopefully this is a sign the criteria will be lowered soon (to us lowly Cityzens).

Looks like these seating tickets will need to be sold before they release more standing tickets
 
Anyone have any updates on when this might go to Cityzen members? This game falls right before my wedding and would be an incredible stag do for me and the lads (all cityzen members) yet been waiting a week nearly for it to fall into the next category and heard nothing. I’ve rang and messaged them and the ticket office just keep saying “it’s on sale to all season ticket holders only at the moment”. Frustrating as I’m wanting to get flights and hotel sorted soon and prices are going up every day for them. Any info or help would be much appreciated. Thank you
 
A couple of questions if I may? Previously stayed in Dusseldorf for City/Munchengladbach games and we traveled by train and then got match buses to the ground and the same back.

Staying in Dusseldorf again - Having not been to Dortmund, I expect we will be travelling to Dortmund in our time by train from Dusseldorf during the day - Is transport then provided (buses?) to Signal Iduna Park or do we need to get the regional train to the stadium?

Same for the return? The game wont finish till gone 11pm - I would have thought they would have wanted rid of everybody quickly and stuck us on buses back to Dortmund station - Im also assuming trains will still be running from Dortmund back to Dusseldorf at that time!!!

Trains tend to run all night.

Does anyone know if we get free travel from Dusseldorf to Dortmund with the match ticket?

I received the same replies from the club. After the criteria reached ‘any’ season ticket holder, they were selling 30-40 seats per day since Thursday.

Available seats dipped below 100 and then jumped to 400 yesterday.

Again, they sold around 20 yesterday and show 384 available.

By now all season ticket holders who want one have got one.

Is this another case of the club trying to sell these seats via their 3rd party outlets, at more attractive prices ?

There’s plenty of Cityzens wanting to put a dent in the 384 left … come on City, pull your finger out !

No consideration for those waiting to book travel & hotel until they have secured a ticket.

I’ve booked travel already (from USA). Have found 3rd party sites showing tickets for 120 Euro as a last resort.

May as well not have bothered buying memberships if they don't make it available to members. Clearly tickets aren't shifting so can't understand why they've not opended it up after almost a week. Due to a glitch in the mobile app I can see what availability is like. There was just under 100 standing tickets left Friday morning which disappeared off the system just after 9am. They could not have sold so the club must have pulled them. Be interested to see if they come back on the system but suspect they have been diverted elsewhere.

I have an (may be crazy) idea.

May be they are trying to run the clock on this first batch of tickets, only selling out shortly before the game. Then the club would avoid having to take the next thousand tickets.

I do not know how it works, but are tickets provided to away teams on a sale or return basis ? Or if the club takes them they are on the hook for the cost of them, whether they sell or not ? Any one know ?

It would be a strange approach as they may well have sold most of the extra 1,000 tickets by now. I know it is a big jump in price for the seats but Copenhagen shifted similar numbers at a simlar price. I don't know if City have to pay for any unsold tickets but they could easily cover the costs - just sub off Haaland before he gets his next hat trick bonus!

Match just disappeared off the planner! Could be planning to open it up to Members..we live in hope
 
Just seen the cheapest hotel in Dortmund itself on match day is £348 for 2 people. I booked one in the City Centre for 6 of us with breakfast for £284, can’t believe how the prices have rocketed.

Edit, 2 x triple rooms.
