How to get Bayern Munich tickets is on the lips of any match-goer looking to see the serial German champions in the flesh – at one of the sport's most iconic and distinctive venues.
The Allianz Arena has been home to Bayern Munich since 2005, when Die Roten relocated from the old Olympic Stadium. Holding 75,024 and boasting a fervent ambience from the inside, the Allianz is in fact more famous for that exterior: the ground lights up in bright hues, usually of whoever is playing inside but sometimes with the Pride flag, messages or other patterns displayed over the Bavarian diamond-patterned structure.
Ranked at No.21 in FourFourTwo's Best Stadiums in the World list, it's a sight for your bucket list – and it just so helps that as tenants, Bayern usually put on quite the show there as Germany's primary exponents of liquid football. Whether you're looking to go for a game, a tour or just to get a photo from the outside, here's FFT's complete guide of how and where you can get tickets and visit FC Hollywood's suitably glitzy cathedral. It's simply one of the best football tickets in the world.
How to get Bayern Munich tickets for the Allianz Arena
“At least if you go for Munich for Bayern, you’re almost guaranteed a positive result; if you go for the beer, you’re unlikely to care too much either way. The Allianz is a beautiful football stadium though, generates a stunning buzz and though it’s a little out of the way, it’s well worth visiting. My dad lived in Munich for three years: his recommendation is to make sure you wrap up if you’re going in the winter (or do what he did and have a really hot curry before the game).”
