Ticket holders from the immediate vicinity of the stadium and the city centre are recommended to travel by UBahn. This will also offer additional trains and a more frequent service.

CAR:
On-site parking is available on Trakehner Allee (P04).

Stadium opening
The stadium opens 2.5 hours before kick-off. To avoid queues at the entrances, early arrival is recommended for all visitors.

Entrances
All visitors to the gegengerade will use the East Gate (Osttor) at Olympischen platz, visitors to the Main Stand should use the South Gate (Südtor) at Coubertinplatz:

Ticket offices:
There will be no ticket offices open on site. Clearing points open at the same time as the stadium, 2.5 hours before kick-off.

Ticket checking at the entrance:
Holders of a Print@Home ticket are advised to present it in paper form, as the scanners at the turnstiles can recognise them most quickly.

Users of the Union app can use both their season and matchday tickets as digital tickets as usual.

Ticket re-sale market:
1. FC Union Berlin offer an official ticket re-sale market. There, up to 3 hours before kick-off, people who are entitled to buy tickets still have the chance to buy them.

Ticket redistribution:
1. FC Union Berlin offer the possibility for fans to pass on tickets digitally via the Union app up to 3 hours before kick-off.

Please note:

• If a ticket is passed on, the original ticket is automatically cancelled.

• If a ticket is successfully passed on, the new ticket holder will receive a confirmation plus the ticket by e-mail. If the ticket holder does not use the Union App, the ticket sent by email must be printed out and presented at the entrance.

• For technical reasons - as well as the access controls to the lower tier of the gegengerade (blocks L-P) - the option to use the "ticket transfer" and "ticket resale" functions for this area ends at 11:00. on match day.

• When a Champions League season ticket is passed on digitally, the original season ticket (whether digital or analogue) is blocked for the home match in question.

Barrier-free entrances are located at the Südtor (between the Clearing Point and the VIP entrance) and at the Osttor (last entrance on the right-hand side) and are marked accordingly.

Fans with visual impairments can obtain the devices for the audio description at one of the grey containers at the Osttor (Olympischer Platz/top of Gutsmuthsweg).
