A cult club in Köpenick with one of the best atmospheres in Germany, mostly on terraces. Union runs all men’s home tickets through a members’ ballot, so plan on joining first. The women’s team’s games here are usually on free sale.
How to buy
- Step 1: Become a Union member: there is no free sale for men’s home games, and day tickets are drawn by ballot among members.
- Step 2: Enter the ballot (Losbuchung) in the official ticket shop: one entry per member, open for about four days.
- Step 3: If your entry wins, book your one ticket in the two-day window that follows.
- Step 4: Miss out? The official Ticketzweitmarkt opens after the ballot, but only to Union members.
When tickets go on sale
Ballots open about two and a half weeks before each game (e.g. Köln on 1 Nov: ballot 15–19 Oct, winners book 21–22 Oct, resale from 22 Oct). Membership is €10 a month or €120 a year for adults, plus a one-off joining fee of one month’s fee.
