Union Berlin Tickets

Union Berlin tickets are among the hardest to secure in the Bundesliga, because Stadion An der Alten Försterei holds just 22,012 fans and a large share of every home allocation goes to club members first. The ground in Berlin Köpenick was rebuilt by supporters themselves, and that ownership feeling still shapes how the club sells its tickets today.

Demand peaks when the biggest visitors arrive. Bundesliga matchdays against Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen clear fastest, with SC Freiburg and FC Augsburg fixtures close behind, and DFB Pokal rounds add extra pressure because the same 22,012 places have to cover a national knockout tie. For several high-profile home matches the club has run a drawing of lots among Union members, leaving roughly 5,000 places circulating for everyone else. Season openers and the first Bundesliga home match after a break are a tough test for any buyer without member priority.

SeatPin currently lists 16 upcoming Union Berlin matches, with inventory drawn from a verified seller network.

Union Berlin's stadium and seating guide

Stadion An der Alten Försterei is Berlin's largest football-only stadium, with a current capacity of 22,012 split into 18,395 standing places and 3,617 seats. A planned redevelopment will lift the ground to 37,500. Because roughly four fifths of the venue is terracing, the small seated allocation in the main stand is the part that carries the highest prices and sells out earliest.

The stadium sits in the Köpenick district in Berlin's south-east, ringed by woodland, and most supporters arrive by S-Bahn and tram from the city centre before walking the final stretch through the forest paths to the turnstiles.

What are the stands and seating categories at Stadion An der Alten Försterei?

The stadium has four stands: the Waldseite, the Haupttribüne, the Gegengerade, and the terrace at the opposite end. The Haupttribüne is the only fully seated side, holding the ground's 3,617 seats across three floors along roughly 100 metres of rebuilt structure. Everything else is terracing, and those 18,395 standing places explain why capacity numbers here do not translate into a large seated market. Visiting supporters receive an allocation of 2,200 places.

Which Stadion An der Alten Försterei stands offer the best views?

The Haupttribüne offers the best sightlines, with an elevated, central view of the pitch and the club's most carefully designed facilities. It is also the premium price area. The three terraced sides deliver the one-of-a-kind atmosphere the Alte Försterei is known for, compact and intense, with the Waldseite and Gegengerade putting supporters close to the touchline. Buyers choosing between them are trading a clean seated view against standing volume.

Where to buy official match tickets?

The club sells home tickets through its own ticket shop, and access is structured around membership rather than open general sale. Eligible purchasers are Union members without a ticket, allocation for high-demand matches runs by lot, and members can pass a booked ticket to another member free of charge. That closed loop leaves very little open inventory for a stadium of 22,012. When those channels are exhausted, SeatPin carries resale listings across both the seated Haupttribüne and the standing sides.

Do you need membership to buy tickets?

In practice, yes for most home matches. Union membership carries pre-sale rights for home matches, away matches and DFB Pokal ties, and eligibility for the ticket lottery, which is where the bulk of the 22,012 places are distributed before anything reaches wider sale.

Paid membership starts from age 12 and is priced at €10 per month or €120 per year for adults. Members also vote on club decisions and get access to member-only events, so the fee covers far more than ticket priority.

How to get tickets without a membership?

Non-members are remarkably unlikely to obtain a home ticket through the club's own lottery, so resale is the realistic route. On SeatPin the process is short.

1. Filter the Union Berlin fixture list for the home match you plan to attend.
2. Choose between seated Haupttribüne listings and standing places on the Gegengerade or Waldseite, then set your quantity so the group stays together.
3. Pay through secure checkout and keep the confirmation for entry.

How to buy away match tickets?

Away tickets follow the same member-first logic as home matches, since pre-sale rights for away fixtures are a membership benefit rather than an open sale. Union receive a standard visiting allocation of 2,200 at most Bundesliga grounds, and that pool is claimed quickly by members travelling regularly. Supporters without priority should secure a listing well before booking travel, and our platform lists away-end inventory for the fixtures where it becomes available.

How much do Union Berlin tickets cost?

Union Berlin season tickets are priced at €816.00, €731.00 and €646.00 depending on the category, with an €8.00 processing fee added and €4.95 for shipping and handling where it applies. Single-match resale listings for Bundesliga fixtures at the Alte Försterei have started from around $33.

Season-ticket holders also pay a small per-match supplement, €1 per game for standing places and €3 for seats, which keeps the terraces the cheapest way to follow the club across a full campaign. Prices climb sharply for the marquee opponents, cup rounds and any European night, because the seated stock is capped at 3,617 places and cannot expand with demand.

For the Bundesliga fixtures that never reach general sale, SeatPin keeps a curated resale selection covering both standing and seated blocks.

Union Berlin Membership & Season Tickets

Membership and season tickets are two separate products at Union Berlin, and one is a prerequisite for the other. A season ticket is only available to existing season-ticket holders who also hold a club membership, so the seated and standing season stock effectively renews within a closed group each summer. Renewal is handled online only.

Membership itself is open to anyone from age 12 and delivers pre-sale rights across Bundesliga home matches, away fixtures and the DFB Pokal, plus voting rights in club decisions. It does not guarantee a ticket to any single match, which is the point supporters most often misread before their first visit to the Alte Försterei.

How does Official Membership work?

Membership is a paid annual or monthly subscription that unlocks pre-sale windows and entry into the ticket lottery for the highest-demand home matches. It opens from age 12. Beyond ticket priority, members participate in club decisions and receive access to member-only events. A useful practical detail: a member holding a booked ticket can transfer it to another Union member free of charge, which is how many places quietly change hands inside the membership base before matchday.

What are the different membership tiers?

Adult membership costs €10 per month or €120 per year, with a reduced rate of €5 per month or €60 per year for eligible adults. A €42 per year single-adult rate also appears among the club's membership options, alongside family packages that cover more than one person in a household. All tiers carry the same core ticket pre-sale rights, so the choice is about cost and household size rather than access level.

What is the difference between a season ticket and a membership?

A season ticket guarantees your place at Union Berlin home matches for the whole campaign at a fixed price of €646.00 to €816.00 plus a per-match supplement of €1 standing or €3 seated. A membership guarantees no seat at all. It buys priority, a lottery entry and a vote, for €10 per month or €120 per year.

The renewal conditions separate them further. Memberships are open to new joiners at any time, while season tickets are restricted to existing holders who are also members, renewed online during a fixed window. When neither route delivers a place for a sold-out fixture, SeatPin is where non-members find resale listings.

How to join the season ticket waiting list?

New buyers cannot simply join a season ticket list and expect a place, because the reservation phase each summer opens on 10 June for eligible existing season-ticket holders, who renew their exact seats or standing spots online first. Only after that closed window does anything else move. Taking out a membership is the first practical step, since season tickets are tied to membership status.
