Buy Augsburg vs Borussia Monchengladbach tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the fixture set for Matchday 16 in the midweek round of 12 to 14 January 2027 at the WWK Arena. The exact day and kickoff time are not yet fixed. The Bundesliga has this round flagged as still to be scheduled, with the provisional slot a 20:30 local start. German midweek fixtures use either 18:30 or 20:30 rather than an afternoon time.

That matters more than it sounds. This is the first midweek round after the winter break, it falls in the coldest fortnight of the Bavarian year and anyone booking travel needs to know the day can still move by 48 hours. If you are planning around Augsburg tickets in January, treat the window as the fixed part and the evening as the variable one.
The second thing worth knowing is that Augsburg almost never lose this fixture at home. Fifteen Bundesliga meetings at this ground since 2011 have produced eight home wins, six draws and exactly one defeat. Gladbach have taken points here plenty of times. They have taken all three once.
The WWK Arena holds 30,660, and the split is the thing English and Spanish buyers need to register: roughly 17,400 seats and around 8,600 home standing places on the terrace. Germany kept its terraces, and that single fact changes the price structure, the atmosphere and what you should actually buy.
Demand for a midweek January fixture is softer than for a Saturday afternoon, and that works in a buyer's favour. Augsburg's own match tickets are priced across four demand bands, with the club not publishing which opponents fall into which. A midweek fixture against a mid-table visitor sits at the friendlier end of that scale rather than in the band reserved for the Bavarian derby.
The away side is where the Bundesliga differs most sharply. German licensing rules bind clubs to provide visiting supporters 10% of total capacity, seated and standing combined. At Augsburg that means roughly 3,050 away places, about 650 seated and 2,400 standing, in blocks W and X. Supporters following Borussia Monchengladbach tickets get a far bigger allocation at a smaller ground than an English away following would.
Gladbach travel in numbers. They are one of Germany's largest clubs by membership with a home ground holding over 54,000, and a 500-kilometre trip to Swabia on a midweek night still fills their allocation. Neither club is in European competition this season, so the league is the whole focus for both and a January midweek game carries more weight than it might in a European season.
Yes, and the German system is more navigable than most once you know the order. Augsburg sell in a fixed sequence: season-ticket holders hold their seats, club members get an exclusive pre-sale window on match tickets, then a free general pre-sale opens to everyone if stock remains. The club announces that pre-sale once the DFL has finalised the date, usually around six weeks out.
That timing is the practical point for this fixture. With Matchday 16 still unscheduled, club tickets are not yet on sale and will not be until the date is locked. The resale market is where seats exist in the meantime, which is why buyers planning January travel now are working through it rather than waiting.
Membership is worth a calculation rather than a dismissal. A standard adult membership runs at 80 euros a season plus a one-off joining fee, and it buys both the pre-sale window and the concession price on every ticket. If you are visiting once, it is not worth it. If you are building two or three Bundesliga trips around Augsburg, the arithmetic changes.
One local quirk explains why the home market is tighter than the numbers suggest. An Augsburg season ticket includes free public transport on matchday and sits at 229 euros for the terrace against 399 euros for the lowest-priced seat, which makes it an easy commitment for local support and keeps a high share of the ground locked up before any single fixture goes on sale. The seats that reach the open market are the ones holders cannot use.
For Gladbach supporters, the away section is the Gastebereich, blocks W and X, entered through Entrance 5. Block W is the away terrace and block X the away seating. That allocation runs through Gladbach's own system, so anyone outside it is buying into home areas of the ground, with the usual expectation that visiting colours stay in the away block.
Five things move the number here, and the first is unusual. Standing or seated is the decision that moves the price furthest, because Augsburg's published face values put a terrace match ticket at 18 euros against 49 euros for the lowest-priced seat. Position is second, with the central Haupttribune and Gegengerade blocks carrying the top bands.
The demand band is third, and a midweek January fixture sits low on that scale. Restricted-view listings are a genuine fourth factor at this ground, because the club prices them separately and materially lower in every block. The fifth is hospitality, which at Augsburg is enquiry-only with no published prices.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standing terrace | £25 – £50 | Atmosphere-led buyers on a budget | Face value around 18 euros; the strongest value at this ground, though resale supply is thinner than seating |
| Category 3 seated | £40 – £85 | Value buyers wanting a seat | Corner and end positions; the widest seated supply for a midweek fixture |
| Category 2 and family block | £60 – £125 | Families and first-time visitors | The family block is entirely non-smoking and carries child pricing at face value |
| Category 1 central | £100 – £210+ | Buyers who want the halfway line | Central Gegengerade and main stand blocks; smallest inventory of the seated bands |
| Business Seats and boxes | £250 – £600+ | Corporate guests and occasion buyers | Catering, reserved parking at the VIP entrance and indoor space before kickoff |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The WWK Arena opened in 2009 and has carried three sponsor names since, so older guides describe the same ground under different titles. It is a tight, steep bowl with stand rakes between 26 and 36 degrees, and every stand area is roofed, which is a German licensing requirement rather than a local choice. The pitch itself is open.
The stand names are worth learning before you read a listing, because they are not the Nordkurve and Sudkurve pattern people assume. The home terrace is the Ulrich-Biesinger-Tribune, the long side opposite the main stand is the Gegengerade, the main stand is the Haupttribune and the corners are Kurve Nord-Ost and Kurve Sud-West. The WWK Arena seating plan maps the blocks against the pitch.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ulrich-Biesinger-Tribune, blocks K to O | Atmosphere-led home support | Lowest | The home terrace, around 8,600 standing; expect flags, banners and obstructed views |
| Gegengerade, blocks Q to V | Neutrals and tactical viewers | Mid to upper | The long side opposite the benches; central blocks carry the top band |
| Haupttribune, blocks D to H | Premium and business guests | Upper | Faces the tunnel and dugouts; blocks E, F and G are the VIP areas |
| Tribune Sud and Kurve Sud-West | Value buyers wanting a seat | Lower to mid | End and corner seating; the most affordable seated option at this ground |
| Family block, blocks I and J | Families with children | Mid | Entirely non-smoking, with child pricing applied at face value |
| Gastebereich, blocks W and X | Gladbach supporters | Mid | Entrance 5; block W is the away terrace, block X the away seating |
The honest recommendation for a first visit is the terrace if you want the German matchday experience and a seat in the south end or a corner if you want to be comfortable in January. Neutrals should avoid the central Gegengerade blocks on price alone, because the view from a corner seat at a ground this compact is better than the price gap suggests. Wider detail on how the arena works across the season sits on the WWK Arena tickets listing.
Augsburg's hospitality areas were rebuilt for the 2019/20 season and hold around 1,900 guests, of which roughly 520 sit in the boxes. The club runs two headline products and a set of named lounges, and all of it is enquiry-based rather than publicly priced, so any listing quoting a fixed hospitality figure is a resale price rather than a club rate.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Business Seats | Business guests and pairs | Padded central seating, catering and reserved parking at the VIP entrance |
| Logen boxes | Private groups and corporate hosts | Fitted box with its own catering, box seats outside and a private balcony |
| Premium Club | Smaller corporate parties | Indoor lounge space with catering and access to the wider VIP areas |
| 1907 Club | Occasion buyers wanting a lighter package | Named club lounge with dining, taking its name from the club's founding year |
For a January midweek fixture the case for hospitality is mostly thermal. A 20:30 kickoff in Bavaria in the second week of the year will be at or below freezing, the terrace is exposed to wind even under the roof and there is no heating anywhere in the spectator areas. Indoor space before and after the match is worth more here than it would be in August.
The other benefit is parking. Hospitality packages include a reserved space directly at the VIP entrance, which matters at a ground where the general car parks fill early and the approach is signposted to divert to an overflow site once they do.
German delivery is largely digital and Augsburg support mobile tickets through their own app, but resale listings vary by seller. Check the method at purchase, because the entry process at this ground is stricter than most English buyers expect.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | Confirm the app or wallet the seller uses and that your phone holds charge in the cold |
| E-ticket by email | Check the release window, noting the club only opens sales once the DFL fixes the date |
| Collection in Augsburg | Ticket offices open two and a half hours before kickoff; the stadium itself opens two hours before |
| Courier or paper despatch | Allow international transit time and confirm the address before you travel |
Three rules catch out visitors here. Bags and rucksacks are not permitted at all, with belt bags the only exception, and there is a free left-luggage point at the away entrance. Aerosols, power banks, helmets and umbrellas are all banned, as is any food and any liquid over 200 millilitres. The ground is completely cashless in every catering area including the away block, so bring a contactless card rather than notes.

Step1
Open the fixture listing
Go to the Augsburg and Gladbach page for the January window and review the full inventory. With the date unfixed, what is listed now will change as the DFL confirms the round.
Step2
Decide standing or seated first
This is the German-specific question and it comes before price. A terrace place and a central seat are different products at very different levels, not two versions of the same thing.
Step3
Set your quantity
Filter by the number of places before you filter by price, so listings that cannot split drop out of view rather than wasting your time.
Step4
Match the block letter to the stand
Augsburg use single letters from A to Z rather than numbers. K to O is the home terrace, D to H the main stand, W and X the away section. The letter tells you everything.
Step5
Read the listing notes
Restricted and slightly restricted views are formally priced categories at this ground, not seller caveats. The notes tell you which one you are buying.
Step6
Hold your travel until the date is fixed
Book refundable or flexible travel while the round sits in a three-day window. A non-refundable flight for the wrong evening is an expensive way to learn this.
Step7
Complete the checkout
Enter the lead booker's details exactly as they appear on the identification you will carry, and keep the confirmation accessible offline for the journey.
Step8
Follow the order through
Use the track order tool to check the status and the expected release date. German tickets often issue late, and the status is what tells you late from wrong.
The single best thing about this trip is that your match ticket is also your travel ticket. Every ticket is valid free of charge on Augsburg city buses and trams for three hours before and after the match, and a special matchday tram runs direct from Augsburg Hauptbahnhof to the WWK Arena stop in about twenty minutes, every five minutes before the game. The catch is worth underlining: that free travel covers city services only, not regional trains, so anyone coming in from Munich on a regional service pays for that leg separately.
Driving is the fallback rather than the plan. Stadium car parks charge around ten euros and want exact change in cash at the barrier, which sits oddly alongside a stadium that takes no cash at all inside. An overflow site at the exhibition centre costs less and runs a free shuttle, and digital signs on the approach road divert traffic there once the main car parks fill. There is no separate away car park for cars.
Two things international buyers should plan for. There is no pub or restaurant within walking distance of the arena, so eat in the city centre before you travel out rather than assuming something will be open nearby. And dress for well below freezing: all the stand areas are roofed but the arena is open at pitch level with no heating, and the terrace catches the wind. For anyone treating this as a trip rather than a match, Augsburg itself was founded by Roman legionaries and predates Munich by roughly a thousand years, which makes an overnight stay an easier sell than a same-evening return.
There is no rivalry between these clubs and it would be dishonest to sell one. Augsburg's feeling is reserved for the Munich clubs, sharpened by a long Swabian and Bavarian tension that both fanbases lean into. Gladbach's is the Rhine derby with Cologne, a feud with a street named after its origin outside their own stadium. The two are 500 kilometres apart and have only shared a division since 2011.
What they do have is a lopsided record at this ground and one afternoon that mattered enormously to one of them. Augsburg reached the Bundesliga for the first time in their history in 2011 and have never been relegated since. Their record finish came in 2014/15, and it was sealed on the final day away at Gladbach, a win that lifted them into the Europa League for the only European campaign the club has ever had.
The contrast in what the two clubs are gives the fixture whatever edge it has. Gladbach won five Bundesliga titles, three German cups and two UEFA Cups, reached a European Cup final and carry two gold stars for the titles. Augsburg have won nothing at national level in 119 years and have a single European campaign to their name, which ended with a goalless draw against Liverpool at this stadium. One club is measured against a past it cannot repeat; the other against a present it never expected.

The DFL has not yet scheduled this round. It sits in a three-day midweek window in January 2027, and German midweek fixtures use either an 18:30 or a 20:30 local start.
Yes, the home terrace is open to any buyer and is by far the lowest-priced way in. Supply on resale is thinner than for seating, so act early if the terrace is what you want.
In the Gastebereich, blocks W and X, through Entrance 5. Around 3,050 places are set aside, roughly a tenth of the ground, as German licensing rules require.
No bags or rucksacks at all beyond a belt bag, and no aerosols, power banks, umbrellas, food or liquids over 200 millilitres. A free left-luggage point sits at the away entrance.
Not inside, where every catering area is card and phone only. You do need coins if you drive, because the car park barrier takes exact change in cash.
