Best and Worst Seats at Signal Iduna Park

A place on what Borussia Dortmund calls the largest standing terrace in Europe costs €18.50 (about £15) at face value in 2026/27, and a Category 1 seat costs €85 (about £71), according to the club's price list read on 9 November 2026. Neither figure tells you where to sit. The terrace is the hardest ticket in the ground to get, the club's Category 1 map includes two blocks behind a goal and a single block such as 32 or 52 holds three different prices between its front row and its back row. Choosing the best seats at Signal Iduna Park starts with the block number, which gives the stand, and then the row or seating section inside the block, which often sets the price. This guide goes round the ground stand by stand, using the club's 2026/27 stadium plan, its entry rules and the verdicts of people who have sat there.

The verdicts below are editorial judgements built from Borussia Dortmund's 2026/27 stadium plan and price list, its entry and ticketing rules, the information visiting clubs publish for their travelling supporters and individual seat reports on TripAdvisor, FanSicht, A View From My Seat and Football Ground Map. Where a claim rests on one person's report, the text says so. If you already know the block you want, Signal Iduna Park tickets are shown match by match, and the Signal Iduna Park seating plan compares the four stands and their facilities, so this article leaves that material alone and sticks to the question of where to sit.

Twelve verdicts before the detail

The table sets out the judgements this guide reaches, in the order the sections below deal with them. Block numbers and price categories are the ones drawn on Borussia Dortmund's 2026/27 stadium plan, read on 9 November 2026. Resale seats for the ground, including Bundesliga tickets, are described either by block or by a wider area such as short side or long side upper, and the table lets you place both.

#	Verdict	Where	Category	Why
1	Best view	Osttribüne lower tier, block 45	1	On the halfway line, close in, a whole block at one price
2	Best view from above	Front rows of upper-tier blocks 32 and 52	15	Halfway line with the whole pitch in one frame
3	Best value side-on seat	Middle rows of upper-tier blocks 31, 33, 51 and 53	4	One block off centre for €28 less than Category 1
4	Best view of the Yellow Wall	Nordtribüne upper tier, blocks 72 and 73	1	Central and head-on to the Südtribüne
5	Best value facing the Wall	Nordtribüne blocks 76, 77 and 78	4 to 6	The same head-on view from higher up, from €35
6	Best atmosphere	Südtribüne standing, blocks 10 to 15 and 80 to 84	Standing	24,454 home supporters on one terrace
7	Atmosphere with a seat	South corners, blocks 35 to 39 and 85 to 89	4 to 6	Seated beside the terrace in a home-only area
8	Best budget seat	Category 6 rows at the back of 30, 34, 50, 54 and the upper corners	6	The lowest standard adult seated price in the ground at €35
9	Best for families	REWE family block, blocks 64 and 65	4	Children under 14 pay €10, with activities laid on
10	Worst for a neutral	Away sector: blocks 8, 60, 61, 70 and 75, plus 55 to 59 when allocated	Away	Segregated and sold through the visiting club
11	Possible obstruction	Block 55, row 14	4	The segregation net could obstruct the view, per FanSicht
12	Worst surprise	Standing blocks, including block 63 at the north end	Standing	No seat, and block 63 is not the Yellow Wall

How to read the block numbers

Signal Iduna Park is four separate stands with the corners filled in, and block number ranges identify the stand, with the corners and the pitch-level front stand numbered separately. The 20s and 30s are the Westtribüne, lower tier then upper tier. The 40s and 50s are the Osttribüne opposite. The 10s and the low 80s are the Südtribüne, and the 60s and 70s are the Nordtribüne. The corners take the numbers left over at the top of each decade, so 35 to 39 sit between the west and south stands and 85 to 89 between the south and east. Single-digit blocks 1 to 9 are the front stand at pitch level.

Stand	Lower blocks	Upper blocks	What is there
Westtribüne (west, main stand)	20 to 27	30 to 34	Business seats in block 27 and most of the hospitality areas
Südtribüne (south)	10 to 15	80 to 84	The Yellow Wall: one terrace, all standing
Osttribüne (east)	40 to 49	50 to 54	The side-on view opposite the main stand
Nordtribüne (north)	60 to 63	70 to 78	Away standing in 60 and 61, home standing in 63, seats above
South-west and south-east corners	35, 36, 85, 86	37 to 39, 87 to 89	Home seats beside the terrace
North-west corner	64, 65	66 to 68	REWE family block in 64 and 65
North-east corner	55, 56	57 to 59	Home seats that pass to visitors for large allocations
Front stand	1 to 9	None	Wheelchair spaces in 3 and 6, seats for disabled supporters, away standing in 8

The club gives the capacity as 81,365. FanSicht's 2026/27 entry for the ground splits that into 53,028 seats and 28,337 standing places, and Borussia Dortmund puts 24,454 of the standing places on the Südtribüne alone. The Bundesliga's own profile of the terrace gives it as about 100 metres long and 40 metres high, with the upper section rising at 37 degrees.

What each category buys

Borussia Dortmund sells seven seated price categories and one standing price, and the price category depends on the block and sometimes the row or seating section. The table below reads the colours on the club's 2026/27 stadium plan against its day ticket prices. The club prints the category on the ticket, so treat the block lists as the normal pattern and confirm against the ticket you are offered.

Category	Where it sits on the club's plan	Bundesliga day ticket	Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 (plus 20%)
15	Front rows of upper-tier halfway blocks 32 and 52; rear section of lower-tier block 26	€95 (£79)	€114 (£95)
1	Block 45 and the inner sections of 44 and 46; front of block 26 and the inner sections of 21 and 24; Nordtribüne blocks 72 and 73	€85 (£71)	€102 (£85)
2	Middle rows of 32 and 52; front rows of 31, 33, 51 and 53; sections of the lower-tier long sides either side of the centre	€70 (£58)	€84 (£70)
3	Back rows of 32 and 52; front blocks 40 to 43 and much of 20 and 23; Nordtribüne blocks 70, 71 and 74 and the back of 62	€65 (£54)	€78 (£65)
4	Outer ends of the lower-tier long sides; middle rows of 31, 33, 51 and 53; front rows of 30, 34, 50 and 54; lower corners 35, 36, 55, 56, 85 and 86; front of 62, 76 and 77	€57 (£48)	€68.40 (£57)
5	Back rows of 31, 33, 51 and 53; middle rows of 30, 34, 50 and 54; front rows of the upper corners and of 75 and 78; back of 76 and 77	€50 (£42)	€60 (£50)
6	Back rows of 30, 34, 50 and 54, of the upper corners and of 75 and 78	€35 (£29)	€35 (£29), no surcharge
Standing	Blocks 10 to 15, 80 to 84 and 63 for home supporters; 8, 60 and 61 for visitors	€18.50 (£15)	€18.50 (£15), no surcharge

Face values are from Borussia Dortmund's 2026/27 price list, read on 9 November 2026. The surcharge column is worked from the 20% the club states for those two matches. Under-18s pay €20 in Category 6 and €12 for standing. Sterling figures use €1 to £0.8342, the European Central Bank reference rate of 6 November 2026. The club describes Category 15 as a seat without access to the catering area, which places it beside the hospitality seats without the lounge.

Four things stand out. First, one block can hold three prices: in blocks 32 and 52 the front rows are €95, the middle rows €70 and the back rows €65. Second, moving one block along the upper tier, from 32 to 31 or 33, cuts each band sharply, to €70, €57 and €50. Third, closeness is not what the club charges most for: the front blocks of the east lower tier, 40 to 43, are mostly Category 3, below the rows behind them. Fourth, Category 1 is not only a long-side price, because blocks 72 and 73 behind the north goal carry it too.

Resale prices sit well above these figures. On 9 November 2026, Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen tickets for Sunday 29 November started from £168.65 on 1BoxOffice, for a seat behind one of the goals. The two surcharge matches cost more again: Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich, pencilled in for the weekend of 6 March 2027, started from £449.37 and Borussia Dortmund vs Schalke, on the weekend of 10 April 2027, from £494.25. Standing areas and low face values are part of what sets German football apart, a theme picked up in these Bundesliga facts.

The long sides: block 45 and the halfway line from above

The two long sides give the side-on view that television uses. The Westtribüne is the main stand, and its centre is given over to business seats: block 27, drawn in grey on the club's plan, belongs to the hospitality areas. Below it, block 26 is split between Category 15 and a Category 1 strip at the front. The Osttribüne opposite is where a visitor is more likely to find a central seat, and block 45 is the only long-side block that is Category 1 from edge to edge.

Block 45 is the pick for a neutral who wants to read the game at close range. It sits on the halfway line in the middle band of the east lower tier, behind front blocks 41 and 42, so the angle has already opened up by the time you reach it. The inner sections of blocks 44 and 46 either side are drawn in the same Category 1 colour on the club's plan and share most of the view. The club prices by area, not by block, so confirm the category on the ticket. Block 48 behind is drawn in grey on the plan and is not part of the price categories.

The upper tier trades closeness for the whole pitch. Blocks 32 on the west side and 52 on the east straddle the halfway line, and their front rows are the dearest ordinary seats in the ground at €95. A TripAdvisor reviewer who sat in block 33 in November 2014 called the seats great, and block 33 is where the value lies: its middle rows are Category 4 at €57, with the same side-on angle a few metres off centre. Blocks 31, 51 and 53 are priced the same way.

Which end of the stand you choose matters as much as the height. Blocks 34 and 50 in the upper tier, and 23 to 25, 40, 44 and 47 in the lower tier, are the south-end blocks next to the Yellow Wall. A TripAdvisor reviewer in the top row of block 50 in January 2018 described the seats as next to the terrace. Blocks 30 and 54 above, and 20 to 22, 43, 46 and 49 below, are at the north end, nearer the visiting supporters. For noise, go south. For distance from the Yellow Wall, go north, although the away section can still be noisy.

If the opponent matters less than the seat, the full run of home dates sits under Borussia Dortmund tickets. After Leverkusen, Dortmund host FC Augsburg on Saturday 12 December 2026 at 15:30, Mainz 05 on Friday 8 January 2027 at 20:30 and SC Freiburg on Saturday 16 January at 15:30, with Hoffenheim provisionally on 31 January, according to the club's presale calendar read on 9 November 2026. Seats for Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund vs SC Freiburg both started from £159.85 on 1BoxOffice that day.

Nordtribüne: the seats that face the Yellow Wall

The sight most visitors come for is the Südtribüne in full voice, and you cannot see it from inside it. The Nordtribüne looks straight at it. A TripAdvisor regular answering a first-time visitor put it bluntly: it is better to see the Yellow Wall from elsewhere than to stand in it.

The stand has a lower tier of four blocks and an upper tier drawn on the club's plan as two bands. In the lower tier, blocks 60 and 61 are the visitors' terrace, block 63 is a home standing block and block 62 between them is seated, Category 4 at the front and Category 3 behind. In the upper tier, blocks 70 to 74 form the front band and 75 to 78 the back band.

Blocks 72 and 73 are the centre of the front band and the club prices them as Category 1, the same €85 as block 45. That is the club's own judgement of the view: central, raised and head-on to the terrace. Blocks 70, 71 and 74 beside them are Category 3 at €65. In the back band, blocks 76 and 77 are Category 4 in their front rows and Category 5 behind, and blocks 75 and 78 at the ends are Category 5 then Category 6, which brings the same view down to €35.

The split between home and away runs through the stand. Blocks 70 and 75, at the eastern end, are the visitors' seats, and the 1BoxOffice seat map draws block 71 with the away sector as well. Home and neutral buyers should look at 72, 73 and 74 and at 76, 77 and 78. One seat report on A View From My Seat praises block 74 for exactly this view.

The trade-off is the one every end seat carries. The near goal is laid out in front of you and the far goal, the one under the Yellow Wall, is a full pitch away. If you want to follow the play in both halves, a long side is still the better choice. If you want the photograph, this is the stand.

Südtribüne: €18.50 to stand, if you can get in

The Südtribüne is a single terrace of 24,454 standing places, by the club's count, in blocks 10 to 15 at the front and 80 to 84 above them. Face value is €18.50 (£15), the lowest standard adult ticket price in the ground, with €12 for under-18s, and that is why visitors rarely hold one. The places go overwhelmingly to season-ticket holders and club members, and the story of how the terrace got its name is told in this history of the Yellow Wall.

The club's own rules show where the core is. Standing tickets for blocks 11 to 14 and 82 cannot be put on Borussia Dortmund's resale exchange at all, according to the exchange's rules for sellers. On the club's own exchange, any Südtribüne standing place therefore comes from the outer blocks: 10, 15, 80, 81, 83 and 84. The rule says nothing about where a ticket sold elsewhere comes from. On 9 November 2026 the only Südtribüne ticket on 1BoxOffice for any Dortmund home match was a single standing place in block 80 for the visit of Inter, from £88.09.

If you do get in, three rules apply. Children aged six or under are not admitted to any standing area, even with an adult. Walking aids are not permitted on the terraces. Visiting colours are banned in every home standing block. Beyond the rules, the experience is what the name promises: you stand for the whole match, flags cross the sightline and the far goal is hard to follow. The club opens the gates two and a half hours before kick-off and urges supporters to be inside an hour and a half before, which on the terrace is also how you choose your spot.

It is the right choice for the noise and the wrong one for watching the game closely, for small children or for anyone who needs to sit. How a non-member gets any ticket from the club, standing or seated, is a separate subject covered in the guide to buying Borussia Dortmund tickets without membership.

The corners: beside the Wall, the family block and Category 6

The four corners are where the lower prices are, and they are not alike. The two south corners flank the Yellow Wall. The north-west corner is the family block. The north-east corner changes hands depending on the visiting club.

The south-west corner, blocks 35 to 39, and the south-east corner, blocks 85 to 89, are the nearest seats to the terrace. The club treats them as home territory: its entry rules ban visiting colours in both corners as well as in the standing blocks. Lower-corner blocks 35, 36, 85 and 86 are Category 4 at €57. The upper-corner blocks are Category 5 in the front rows and Category 6 at the back. A TripAdvisor reviewer who sat in block 37 in August 2019 wrote of a great view of the Yellow Wall, and that sideways look across the terrace is what these corners offer that the north end does not.

Category 6, at €35 for adults and €20 for under-18s, is the lowest standard seated price in the ground. It covers the back rows of all four upper corners, the back rows of end blocks 30, 34, 50 and 54 and the back of 75 and 78. The view is generally clear but distant, depending on the exact seat. A visitor writing on Football Ground Map noted that near the back the players all look a bit small, while a TripAdvisor reviewer in August 2019 saw no bad seats anywhere in the ground. Both are fair. If the choice is between the back of a corner at €35 and the front of the same corner at €50, the extra €15 buys a noticeably shorter distance.

The north-west corner holds the REWE family block in blocks 64 and 65, with more than 1,500 seats, face painting, a goal wall, a climbing wall and visits from the club mascot, according to Borussia Dortmund. Children under 14 pay €10 and accompanying adults €57 in 2026/27. Members of the club's KidsClub have first refusal, and the club says the block has sold out on the day of the members' presale in recent months, so it seldom reaches general sale and is not a block to expect on the resale market.

The away sector and the blocks beside it

Visiting supporters are placed at the north end. The club's entry information gives blocks 8, 60 and 61 as the visitors' standing areas and 70 and 75 as their seats, all entered through the Nord-Mitte entrance, with seated blocks 55 to 59 in the north-east corner entered through Nordost. SV Elversberg listed exactly that set, blocks 55 to 59 included, for its visit on 7 November 2026. The club adds that the shape of the sector changes with the size of the allocation the visiting club takes up.

For a neutral this matters in two ways. First, the sector is segregated and sold through the visiting club, so a home or neutral supporter has no business there. Second, the north-east corner is not always the visitors'. FanSicht notes that block 55, normally a visitors' block, is sold to Dortmund supporters when the away following is small, which is how a home fan can end up there, beside the net that divides the two sets of supporters.

The colour rules run the other way too. Borussia Dortmund asks supporters not to wear the visiting team's colours anywhere outside the away sector and bans them outright in the home standing blocks and the two south corners. A travelling fan with a seat among the home support on a long side should dress neutrally. The rest of the trip, from the trains to the bag rules, is in the Dortmund away matchday guide.

The seats fans warn each other about

Borussia Dortmund's 2026/27 price list has no restricted-view category, and no source documents a seriously obstructed block. The problems are narrow, and most are avoided by reading the block number and asking for the row. Two of the entries below rest on a single supporter's report and are marked as such.

Where	Problem	Evidence	What to do
Block 55, row 14	Potential obstruction from the segregation net	FanSicht's entry for the ground; one report on A View From My Seat	Ask for the row, or choose a corner away from the visitors
Back rows of the upper corners and of blocks 30, 34, 50 and 54	Height plus distance; players are hard to pick out	Football Ground Map review; the club prices these rows lowest	Pay the step up to Category 5 in the front rows
Block 89	One supporter reported that a small part of the pitch was hidden from their seat	One report on A View From My Seat	Ask for the exact row and seat before paying
Block 73	Legroom too tight for very tall supporters	One report on A View From My Seat	Anyone close to two metres tall should ask for an aisle seat
Standing blocks 10 to 15, 80 to 84 and 63	No seat, no children aged six or under, no walking aids	Borussia Dortmund's entry rules	Buy a numbered category if you need to sit
Blocks 8, 60, 61, 70 and 75, plus 55 to 59 when allocated	Segregated away support	Borussia Dortmund's entry information	Home and neutral buyers should look elsewhere

The standing blocks cause the most confusion. A buyer on TripAdvisor, holding a home standing ticket with no block printed, asked whether it meant the Yellow Wall. The answers from Dortmund regulars were that block 63 is behind the goal at the north end, close to the north-west corner, and that Yellow Wall places are very rarely available to buy. Home standing does not mean the Südtribüne, and block 63 puts you at the opposite end, beside the visitors' terrace.

Champions League nights: the Yellow Wall stays standing

Many guides still say the terraces are fitted with seats for European matches and the capacity falls to about 66,000. That stopped being true in 2022. UEFA admitted German clubs to its standing programme that year, and Borussia Dortmund announced that its Champions League capacity would rise from 66,099 to 81,365. The club's own match report gives the attendance for the visit of Real Betis on 4 November 2026 as a sold-out 81,365, and its 2026/27 price list sells a standing season ticket that covers the four Champions League home matches as well as the league.

For seat choice, that means the map does not change on a European night. The Yellow Wall stands, block 63 stands, the visitors' terrace stands and every seated block keeps its number. The 66,099 figure describes the ground with seats on the terraces, a layout the club's league-phase matches no longer use.

Two league-phase home matches remain: Borussia Dortmund vs Inter Milan on Wednesday 9 December 2026 at 21:00, per the club's presale calendar, and Borussia Dortmund vs AEK Athens on Wednesday 27 January 2027, per UEFA's match list. On 9 November 2026 seats for Inter started from £131.25 on 1BoxOffice, in block 54, and AEK Athens started from £203.85. The wider competition sits under Champions League tickets.

On price, the club sold last season's Champions League visit of Inter at its regular day ticket prices, according to its notice of 17 December 2025, so the category table above is the right starting point for comparing a European ticket with face value. Resale tickets for European nights often carry an extra condition: several on 1BoxOffice on 9 November 2026 excluded holders of the visiting country's passport and required a passport copy. Read the restriction line before paying.

Dortmund's own travelling support is at Arsenal on Tuesday 24 November 2026, and the same block-by-block treatment exists for the best and worst seats at Emirates Stadium. For another German ground that keeps its terraces on European nights, see the best and worst seats at Allianz Arena.

Roof, rain and winter kick-offs

All four stands and the corners are roofed. The pitch is open to the sky, so wind can push rain into the front rows of a lower tier on an exposed side. Fan guides mention it and nobody has mapped it row by row, so the front rows of a lower tier are the likeliest place to get wet.

Cold is the bigger issue. Several of the coming home matches kick off in the evening: Leverkusen at 19:30, Inter at 21:00 and Mainz at 20:30. In mid-December the sun sets in Dortmund before 16:30, so even the 15:30 match against Augsburg finishes under lights. The club allows seat cushions and blankets in the winter months and small folding umbrellas all year, and it bans umbrellas longer than about 30 centimetres. Dress for three hours outdoors whichever block you choose.

On sun, no reliable source maps glare by stand or by kick-off time. With a roof over every seat and most winter matches played in the dark, it is not a reason to pay more or less for either long side.

Children and accessible seating

Children aged six or under can enter on a lap ticket, issued at the clearing points outside the north-east, north-west and south-east entrances for a €1 donation on proof of age. The child has no seat of their own and may not enter a standing area. From the age of seven a child needs a full ticket, and from 14 a young supporter may enter without an adult, per the club's entry rules. Outside the family block there is no child price for a seat except in Category 6, so on the resale market a child needs a ticket at the listed price.

For a first visit with children, a long-side seat away from the north end is the calm option, and the upper tier of blocks 31, 33, 51 and 53 gives the view at a moderate price. Prams and infant car seats are not admitted to the stadium at all.

Borussia Dortmund lists 72 wheelchair spaces in blocks 3 and 6 of the front stand, on the west and east sides. Block 5 on the east side has 20 seats for blind and partially sighted supporters, each with a companion seat and headphones for live audio commentary. Block 34 on the west side has 25 seats for deaf and hard-of-hearing supporters, with a sign-language interpreter. Further seats for severely disabled supporters are in block 9, allocated by online ballot at €15, with €33.75 for a companion, and reached through a special entrance at the north-west that is not step-free.

All of these places are allocated by the club against documentation and are not part of the resale market. Rollators are admitted only by prior registration, and the entrance areas at Nordwest, Nordost and Südost each have a separate gate for disabled supporters with a companion, pregnant women, pensioners and children under 14.

Business seats and lounges

Hospitality at Signal Iduna Park is sold by lounge, and each lounge comes with a seat in a particular part of the ground. The club's standard package is a reserved table in the catering area, a business seat, hot and cold food before the match, at half-time and afterwards and a choice of drinks. The table below sets out where the seat is, from Borussia Dortmund's hospitality information read on 9 November 2026.

Area	Where the seats are	Format
Borsigplatz, Friedensplatz and Stammtisch	Westtribüne, business seats in block 27	Company table, balcony and central bar
Alter Markt	Under the Westtribüne, seats close to the pitch	Company table and buffet
Weiße Wiese	Upper tier of the Nordtribüne, facing the Südtribüne	Reserved table and buffet stations
Borussia Park	Nordtribüne business seats	Pub-style, company table or free seating
Hansaplatz	Nordtribüne business seats	Reserved table and catering stations
Spieltagsloge	Block 49, east lower tier	Private suite for groups of 20 to 40
TV-Studio	North-west corner	10 guests with a private entrance

The seat matters more than the lounge. Block 27 sits on the halfway line of the main stand, directly above block 26. The Nordtribüne lounges trade the side-on angle for the view of the Yellow Wall, which is the view of blocks 72 and 73 with catering attached. On 9 November 2026, hospitality for the Mainz match on 8 January 2027 started from £318.25 per person on 1BoxOffice for Borussia Park and £340.25 for Weiße Wiese.

Tickets, gates and the entrance printed on your ticket

A Borussia Dortmund home ticket can be a printout, a digital ticket with a QR code or an NFC pass held in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, according to the club's matchday FAQ. A digital day ticket can be forwarded from the buyer's account by link, the recipient can download it without logging in and forwarding closes two and a half hours before kick-off, per the club's ticketing guide. That is the route by which a resale seat usually reaches a phone.

For resale buyers, the risk needs stating plainly. 1BoxOffice is an independent secondary ticket marketplace and is not affiliated with or authorised by Borussia Dortmund. The club directs buyers to its authorised ticketing, resale, hospitality and travel channels and bans commercial resale. Its ticket terms state that tickets offered on platforms it has not authorised carry no right of admission, and they allow the club to block and cancel such tickets and to refuse the holder entry without compensation. The 1BoxOffice 150% Money Back Guarantee does not override those entry conditions. Under 1BoxOffice's terms, no refund or compensation is paid where a venue or organiser refuses entry, even with a valid ticket, and a ticket deemed invalid is refunded at its original face value, excluding service fees, not at the resale price.

The ticket names the entrance area you may use, and the stadium has four. Going to the wrong one means a walk round the ground against the crowd.

Blocks	Entrance area
1 to 4, 10 to 15, 20 to 39 and 80 to 84	Nordwest or Südost
5 to 7, 40 to 54 and 85 to 89	Nordost or Südost
55 to 59	Nordost
64 to 68	Nordwest
8, 60 to 63 and 70 to 79	Nord-Mitte
9	Nord-Mitte on the club's chart; accessible seating uses the special north-west entrance, which is not step-free

The ranges are the club's own, and its stadium plan shows no block 79. The special entrance for block 9 is next to the Fanwelt store.

The gates open two and a half hours before kick-off and the club urges everyone to be inside at least an hour and a half before. Bags larger than A4 or deeper than 15 centimetres are refused, the storage points are limited and close 45 minutes after the final whistle and payment inside is cashless. A match ticket also covers local public transport across North Rhine-Westphalia on the day of the match and until 03:00 the next morning, but a digital or print-at-home ticket needs a separate free travel pass requested with it, per the club's FAQ. Other dates in the city are under events in Dortmund.

Buy Signal Iduna Park Tickets

Checking the block before you pay

Buying a resale seat at Signal Iduna Park is a matter of matching three things: the stand, the row or section inside the block and who the block is for. The steps below apply the maps above to a ticket you are offered.

Signal Iduna Park seat questions fans keep asking

Seat choice at Signal Iduna Park comes down to the stand first, then the end of the stand, then the row or section inside the block. 1BoxOffice shows Borussia Dortmund home matches by block or area as the seller provides it, and every order is backed by the 150% money-back guarantee: a full refund if your tickets are not received and no alternative is offered, plus a goodwill credit voucher of up to 50% of the order value (excluding fees and taxes, capped at £125) that 1BoxOffice may issue at its discretion. The guarantee covers tickets that are not delivered. It does not cover a club's decision to refuse entry.
