Union Berlin tickets overview
Union Berlin tickets are in strong demand because access to Stadion An der Alten Försterei is limited and the club identity is unusually strong. As of April 2026, Marie-Louise Eta is the interim head coach, Christopher Trimmel remains captain, and players such as Danilho Doekhi, Rani Khedira and Andrej Ilić continue to drive interest in Union Berlin home fixtures. The club competes in the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal during the 2025/26 season. Supporters often refer to the club as Eiserne Union or Union Eisern, and that strong identity helps explain why demand stays high across home dates. The fan culture is also closely tied to the term Unioner, a common name for people who follow the club week after week.
The hardest fixtures to buy are usually the biggest Bundesliga dates. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen push prices toward the top of the range, while a Berlin Derby or a cup tie with local edge can sell out quickly. Union Berlin's Champions League debut in 2023/24, the 2019 promotion era and the 2026 coaching change all continue to influence demand. Matches against FC Köln also attract attention from travelling supporters, especially when FC Köln Eisern groups are active around the fixture.
When official member ballots and Union Zeughaus allocations are out of reach, SeatPin offers access through a verified seller network for buyers targeting sold-out Union Berlin fixtures.
Union Berlin's stadium and seating guide
Stadion An der Alten Försterei opened in 1920 and currently holds 22,012, including more than 18,000 standing places. The Haupttribüne is the only seated stand and carries the premium experience, while Gegengerade, Waldseite and Wuhleseite deliver the terrace culture that defines Union Berlin. Demand stays high because the ground is compact, distinctive and closely tied to the club's Bundesliga rise.
Summer 2026 redevelopment plans are expected to increase future capacity to 34,500. For buyers comparing comfort, sightlines and terrace atmosphere, SeatPin helps sort Union Berlin listings by section before checkout.
What are the stands at Union Berlin's stadium?
Stadion An der Alten Försterei has four main stands, Haupttribüne, Gegengerade, Waldseite and Wuhleseite. Haupttribüne holds 3,617 seats and includes VIP areas, so it suits buyers who want a reserved seat and central views. Waldseite is the loudest end, while Gegengerade offers broad standing views along the pitch. Wuhleseite contains the away allocation. Some home supporters specifically look for Block 7 Union Berlin because it is associated with a strong standing atmosphere on matchday.
Which Union Berlin stadium stands command premium prices?
The premium section at Union Berlin is the Main Stand, also called Sector 1 on the Haupttribüne. It is the only all-seater area, includes hospitality space, and gives the best central sightlines, so pricing is higher than the standing terraces. Buyers focused on atmosphere usually target Waldseite or Gegengerade instead, while away supporters are typically placed in Sector 5 on the Wuhleseite standing terrace.
How to reach Union Berlin's stadium on matchday?
Stadion An der Alten Försterei is best reached by S-Bahn or tram, with Köpenick station on the S3 line the main rail stop. From Köpenick, the walk to the stadium takes around 15 minutes and follows a signposted route through the forest. Tram lines 27, 60, 61 and 67 stop at Alte Försterei close to the ground. Parking near the stadium is extremely limited, so public transport is the recommended route. On selected weekends, supporters also combine the trip with local events such as the BLN Reunion Festival, which can make public transport busier in the area.

How to get tickets for Union Berlin away matches?

- Browse available listings for the away end or other permitted sections, depending on the host club's sales rules.
- Confirm ticket delivery timing before you book transport, especially for high-demand trips such as Bayern Munich, Köln, Mainz or RB Leipzig.
For away travel, review the listing terms before final payment, especially the stated delivery timeline. Some supporters also track fan exchange activity through communities such as Tausche Union when planning popular away trips.
How much are Union Berlin tickets?
Union Berlin tickets for the 2025/26 season usually start around 15 to 20 Euro for adult standing places and around 35 to 65 Euro for seated places in the main stand. The exact price depends on the opponent, the section and whether the fixture sits in a higher-demand category. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen are the clearest examples of fixtures that push pricing upward.
Standing sectors remain the most affordable way into Stadion An der Alten Försterei, while Haupttribüne seats cost more because they provide reserved seating and stronger central views. Demand, not just face value, shapes what buyers actually find close to kickoff.
| Ticket type | Typical 2025/26 price |
|---|---|
| Adult standing | 15 to 20 Euro |
| Main stand seated | 35 to 65 Euro |
| Away standing | 15 to 17 Euro |
| Away seated | 32 to 50 Euro |

Union Berlin season ticket guide
A Union Berlin season ticket covers all 17 Bundesliga home fixtures and gives guaranteed entry to a fixed seat or standing place at Stadion An der Alten Försterei. That makes it very different from match-by-match buying, where members still depend on ballots. Existing holders usually control the renewal cycle, and the club does not currently operate a standard waiting list because demand remains above supply.
Season-ticket demand is driven by the same factors that shape single-match scarcity, a small stadium, a large member base and strong demand for Union Berlin home fixtures. The planned stadium expansion beginning in summer 2026 could reshape supply in future seasons, but for 2025/26 the market remains tight.
How to buy a Union Berlin season ticket?
You usually cannot freely buy a new Union Berlin season ticket on demand, because most places are renewed by existing holders and rare vacancies are allocated through member-based processes rather than open sale.
- Join Union Berlin as a member first, because membership is the basic route into any rare season-ticket allocation process.
- Watch the renewal and allocation period, which typically opens in mid-June for existing holders and any exceptional redistribution.
- If a vacancy is offered, complete the club purchase within the stated window and keep membership active for future access.
When season tickets are unavailable, our platform becomes the practical alternative for buyers who still want access to selected sold-out fixtures.
How much do Union Berlin season tickets cost?
Union Berlin season tickets for 2025/26 cost 238 to 272 Euro for adult standing places and 561 to 816 Euro for seated places. Reduced prices apply across some categories, with concession standing from 204 Euro and top seated concession prices reaching 782 Euro. Junior pricing for ages 6 to 12 starts at 119 Euro for standing and can reach 408 Euro for the best seats.
| Season ticket category | 2025/26 price |

| Adult seated | 561 to 816 Euro |
| Concession standing | From 204 Euro |

What's the difference between a Union Berlin season ticket and a membership?
A Union Berlin season ticket guarantees entry to all 17 Bundesliga home fixtures, while a membership only gives the right to apply for individual tickets. The adult membership fee is 120 Euro per year and includes ballot access, but it does not include any match admission. A season ticket costs much more upfront, yet it removes the uncertainty around sold-out home fixtures.
The second big difference is availability. Season tickets are largely reserved for existing holders and renewed in a set window, while membership is the realistic official entry point for new supporters. Membership also opens access to away priority and club resale channels, but it still leaves buyers dependent on ballots.
How does Union Berlin membership work?
Union Berlin membership works as a priority-access system for tickets rather than a bundle that includes fixtures. Members receive first access to home ballots, away sales and the club's official resale channels, which matters because the member base is above 71,000 and the stadium holds only 22,012. Membership is the main official route for repeated access across the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal calendar.
Membership also includes voting rights for adults at the Annual General Meeting, a merchandise discount and a scarf for new members. In practical terms, the ticket advantage is the main reason buyers join. One ticket per member for home fixtures is the normal cap, while away allocations can rise to two depending on the fixture and host capacity. Members also follow club events beyond the men's first team, including Frauenspiel dates that can be of interest to supporters who want a broader matchgoing calendar.
What are the Union Berlin membership types?
Union Berlin offers adult, youth and family-linked membership options, plus reduced rates for students, seniors and disabled supporters. Adult membership is the standard route for ticket priority, while youth categories cover supporters up to 17 and family pricing can apply to children under 12. Benefits include access to home ballots, away priority windows, a 10 percent merchandise discount through Union Berlin Onlineshop and voting rights for members aged 18 or over.
How many tickets can you buy as a Union Berlin member?
Union Berlin members can usually buy one home ticket per person and up to two away tickets per person. The home limit is strict because Bundesliga demand at Stadion An der Alten Försterei is extremely high, so the club uses one-per-member ballots to spread access more evenly. For away fixtures, the cap is commonly two, though final limits still depend on allocation size and the specific opponent.
Do kids need to be members too?
Yes, children need their own membership if they want to enter the Union Berlin home-ticket ballot for a dedicated place. Junior membership applies to children up to 12, while youth membership covers ages 13 to 17. Children under 6 can enter without a ticket if they sit on an adult's lap, but they still need membership if a separate seat is required during member-only sales.
How much is the Union Berlin membership?
Union Berlin membership costs 120 Euro per year for adults, 60 Euro for students, pensioners and disabled supporters, and 42 Euro for youth members aged 0 to 17. Children up to 12 can also join under a family membership for 12 Euro per year. New applicants pay a one-time admission fee equal to one month of their membership tier, so the first payment is slightly higher than the annual headline rate.
