Buy Augsburg vs Mainz 05 tickets for the 2026/27 Season for the Bundesliga meeting at WWK Arena on Sunday 22 November 2026 at 15:30 CET. The German league and FC Augsburg confirmed the exact Matchday 10 slot on 10 September, replacing the earlier provisional weekend listing and giving travelling buyers a fixed Sunday afternoon around which to plan.

This is a useful fixture for buyers who want a compact Bundesliga ground, a full home end and prices that normally sit below the major-club premium. The wider Augsburg tickets schedule covers the club's other home dates, while this match brings Mainz to a 30,660-capacity stadium where standing areas still shape the domestic matchday atmosphere.
The recent history adds an edge. Mainz won on their last two league visits to Augsburg, including a 4-1 result in September 2025, but the complete Bundesliga record at this ground still favours the hosts. That mixture of recent away success and a longer Augsburg advantage makes the fixture more balanced than a simple club-size comparison suggests.
The first pressure on supply comes from how FC Augsburg sell home matches. Members receive an exclusive advance window for day tickets, with remaining seats released afterwards. For the Mainz match, the club announced the members' presale for 15 September 2026, which means a significant part of the most desirable inventory can move before a casual visitor reaches any later public phase.
Mainz bring their own travelling demand. Supporters following Mainz 05 tickets across the season have a designated visitor sector at WWK Arena rather than free choice around the bowl. The away allocation sits in the south-east, where Blocks W and X combine seated and standing places, so supply for travelling supporters is much narrower than the stadium's total capacity implies.
The confirmed Sunday 15:30 start also matters. It is early enough for many regional supporters to travel in and out on the same day, while overseas visitors can build a weekend around Munich or Augsburg without a late-night finish. Once a convenient exact slot is known, buyers who had been waiting on broadcast scheduling can commit to rail, hotel and ticket arrangements together.
Group size is another demand driver. A single seat may remain available after pairs have thinned, and four adjacent seats can command a clear premium over four isolated places. Buyers should therefore judge the market using the quantity they actually need rather than the lowest single-seat number visible on the page.
Yes. Membership matters for the club's first sales phase, but it is not a requirement for every route into the stadium. FC Augsburg state that members receive an exclusive pre-emptive right for day tickets, after which remaining inventory can be made available more widely on a fixture-by-fixture basis.
For 2026/27, the club's ticket information also shows that certain fixtures use additional eligibility phases before broader availability. That can include existing customers or supporters with prior purchasing history. The exact ladder depends on the match, so a visitor should not assume that a large stadium means an unrestricted public sale from day one.
A secondary marketplace works differently because listings can appear when individual holders or approved sellers make inventory available. That route does not require you to buy a club membership simply for one weekend. It also lets you compare standing, seated and premium options side by side instead of waiting for one category to reach a later club phase.
The practical distinction is access rather than allegiance. A member may have an earlier chance at face-value club stock, while a non-member may value certainty on date, quantity and section. If you are travelling from outside Bavaria, the ability to secure the match before committing to the rest of the trip can be worth more than waiting for a later public release that may not contain the seats your group needs.
Five factors shape resale pricing for this November 2026 fixture: seat location, remaining supply, group size, the confirmed weekend slot and the hospitality tier. The current 1BoxOffice Bundesliga guide places standard Augsburg resale stock around £30 to £120+ across the season, which is a sensible club-level baseline rather than a fixed quote for one match.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standing or less central | £30 – £50 | Atmosphere-led buyers | Domestic standing areas can provide the lowest entry band, but supporter affiliation and section rules matter |
| Standard end or corner seat | £40 – £70 | Lower-priced seated viewing | Good for buyers who want an allocated place without paying a longside premium |
| Longside standard | £55 – £95 | First visits and balanced views | Side-on seats give a clear view of both penalty areas and are easier to compare across rows |
| Central or premium seat | £85 – £140+ | Halfway-line sightlines | Central Blocks E to G carry a stronger premium, especially when several places are needed together |
| Hospitality and VIP | £180 – £450+ | Business groups and special trips | Package value depends on lounge level, catering, parking and the exact seat included |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Club face values provide useful context. FC Augsburg's 2026/27 day-ticket table starts at €16 to €18 for standing areas depending on match category, with seated categories rising from there. Resale should therefore be judged against what you are gaining in certainty, section choice and availability rather than against an assumption that every face-value seat was ever available to the public.
Groups should set quantity before sorting by price. A single low-priced place can distort the apparent market if you actually need two or four together. When adjacency matters, compare the full order cost for the required quantity and read the listing wording carefully so that a small saving does not split the group across different rows or blocks.
Timing is not one-directional. Additional listings can appear as matchday approaches, but the most useful pairs in central longside areas can disappear first. If the section, delivery route and total suit the trip, buying certainty can be more sensible than waiting solely for a lower number.
WWK Arena is a compact football-specific ground with a domestic capacity of 30,660. FC Augsburg list 19,556 home seats and 8,000 home standing places, while the visiting allocation includes around 800 seats and 2,200 standing places. The steepness ranges from 26 to 36 degrees, which keeps upper rows connected to the pitch rather than pushing them far back.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ulrich-Biesinger-Tribüne standing area | Home atmosphere | Lowest | Dense home support and sustained standing. Visiting colours are not permitted in this home standing sector |
| North and end seating | Value with an allocated place | Lower to mid | A defined seat while remaining close to the louder home sections |
| Outer longside blocks | Balanced viewing | Mid | Useful compromise between the end sections and the central main-stand premium |
| Blocks E and G | Comfort and side-on views | Mid to upper | These areas are also used by several hospitality products, so standard stock can tighten around premium demand |
| Central Block F | Halfway-line viewing | Upper | Central main-stand position with the strongest standard sightline premium |
| Blocks W and X, south-east | Mainz supporters | Allocation dependent | Designated visitor area with standing and seated places. Away support should use this sector rather than home standing sections |
Neutral buyers usually do well in an outer longside seated block. You keep the tactical view, avoid the densest home standing environment and normally pay less than the central Block F band. Families may also prefer an allocated seat because the standing sections are designed around a more active supporter experience.
FC Augsburg state that visiting colours are not generally banned across the whole stadium, but they are prohibited in the Ulrich-Biesinger-Tribüne home standing area. That distinction is important for Mainz supporters comparing resale listings. A lower-priced home standing place is not a substitute for the correct away allocation when you intend to wear club colours or support the visitors openly.
Some seats around roof-support structures can have a partial restriction. The club distinguishes between restricted and lightly restricted views, with the degree depending on how much of the pitch is affected. When a listing carries any view note, factor that into the price comparison instead of treating two seats in the same broad stand as identical.
WWK Arena has a layered hospitality offer rather than one generic premium ticket. FC Augsburg's current hospitality material lists Arena Club, Business Club, Schwabenstüberl, Rote and Grüne Box, 1907 Club, Premium Club and private boxes. For a one-match buyer, the useful question is what the listing actually includes, because access to a lounge, a central seat and parking can differ substantially by tier.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Arena Club or Business Club | Couples and small groups | Buffet catering, table service for drinks and seats in Blocks E or G |
| Schwabenstüberl or Box areas | Guests wanting a regional lounge feel | Catering, reserved indoor space and Block E or G seating |
| 1907 Club | Business entertainment | Separate entrance, dedicated buffet, comfortable seating and terrace access |
| Premium Club or private box | Corporate groups and milestone trips | Central Block F or box-balcony seats, broader catering access and higher parking entitlement |
Hospitality can be especially useful when a group needs several places together. Standard resale inventory often fragments into singles and pairs, while a premium package may keep a business party or family in one defined area. The trade-off is price, so compare inclusions rather than relying on the word VIP alone.
Parking also changes by package. FC Augsburg's published hospitality overview allocates VIP parking according to the product, with stronger ratios at the higher tiers. If you plan to drive, that benefit can matter on a matchday when the club itself recommends public transport because roads and general parking fill quickly.
For most leisure buyers, standard longside seating remains the simpler value choice. Hospitality makes most sense when lounge time, catering, an upgraded seat or keeping a larger group together is part of the reason for the trip.
FC Augsburg now support mobile ticket use in the club app, but secondary listings can still use different fulfilment methods depending on the seller. The delivery type shown on the listing is therefore part of the purchase decision, not an afterthought. International buyers usually favour a digital route because it removes the need for local postal delivery.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | Accept the transfer before leaving for the stadium and make sure the credential opens correctly on the intended device |
| Wallet pass | Add it to the supported phone wallet in advance and keep enough battery for scanning at the assigned entrance |
| E-ticket or PDF | Follow the seller's display or print instruction exactly and keep the barcode clear |
| Collection or handover | Confirm the meeting point, collection window, buyer name and identity requirement before travelling |
Bring valid photo identification even when the listing does not emphasise it. Named-ticket conditions or a collection handover can require identity confirmation, and carrying the document removes an avoidable problem. Keep the order confirmation separate from the entry ticket, because the confirmation proves purchase while the issued credential is what must scan.
The arena usually opens two hours before home matches. FC Augsburg also state that entry is tied to the entrance assigned to the block, so arrive with enough time to reach the correct side of the stadium rather than joining the first queue you see. Visiting supporters can face separate routing to the south-east sector.
For groups, have one person count every delivered ticket before leaving the hotel or station. Four order confirmations do not help if only three mobile passes have been accepted. Resolving a fulfilment issue earlier in the day is far easier than doing it at the perimeter shortly before kick-off.
1BoxOffice has connected football buyers with verified sellers since 2006 and orders carry a 150% money-back guarantee. Use the sequence below so that price never distracts from the more important questions of section, quantity and delivery.
Step1
Open the correct fixture
Confirm WWK Arena, Sunday 22 November 2026 and the 15:30 CET kick-off before comparing any listing.
Step2
Set up your buyer account
New customers can create an account using the contact details that will receive order and delivery information.
Step3
Choose the full quantity
Search for the number of places your group needs from the start so that isolated singles do not distort the price you will actually pay.
Step4
Match the section to your support
Decide between home standing, allocated seating, a longside view or the Mainz visitor sector before sorting solely by price.
Step5
Compare listings by total value
Weigh section, view, seats-together wording, fulfilment method and total order value rather than choosing the lowest single number automatically.
Step6
Read the delivery notes
Confirm whether the order uses mobile transfer, wallet pass, e-ticket or collection and note any identity information needed before entry.
Step7
Review the final order
Verify the match, quantity, section and total before payment so that the order matches the travel plan and supporter area you intended.
Step8
Follow fulfilment to matchday
Use track order for delivery status, complete any transfer action promptly and load the ticket before travelling to the arena.
WWK Arena is built for public-transport matchdays. FC Augsburg run special Stadion-Linie 8 trams from Augsburg Hauptbahnhof from two hours before kick-off, normally every five minutes, with a journey of around twenty minutes. The walk from the stadium tram stop is roughly ten minutes, which makes the railway station a practical arrival point for visitors coming from Munich or elsewhere in southern Germany.
Home-match tickets are valid on Augsburg city buses and trams in zones 10 and 20 from three hours before until three hours after the game. The inclusion does not extend to regional trains or the wider regional bus network, so do not assume the football ticket covers the rail leg from Munich. After full-time the special tram frequency increases to move the crowd back towards the centre.
Digital delivery is particularly useful for overseas buyers because it removes dependence on a German address. Complete any transfer before leaving for the stadium and store the pass in the format requested. A screenshot should not be treated as a substitute unless the delivery instructions specifically allow it, because some mobile credentials rely on the original file or wallet pass.
Seats-together wording deserves extra attention for international groups. A weekend trip is harder to repair if a family arrives and finds that four separately purchased seats are scattered around the ground. Buy the required quantity in one suitable listing when adjacency matters, even if another isolated seat appears at a slightly lower unit price.
The confirmed 15:30 Sunday start gives a likely full-time around early evening, but allow for exit queues before booking a tight onward train. Away supporters can also face different routing from the home crowd. A later connection gives enough room to enjoy the end of the match rather than leaving early to protect a timetable.
Driving is possible, with stadium parking and overflow options around the exhibition grounds, but FC Augsburg repeatedly encourage tram use when demand is high. If you do drive, arrive early enough to follow the matchday parking plan rather than expecting a space beside the arena shortly before kick-off.
Augsburg's Bundesliga meetings with Mainz at this ground have swung between clear home spells and sharp away responses. The hosts won five of the seven league meetings from November 2013 through December 2019, including a 3-0 in February 2019, before Mainz began to take more from the trip. That sequence is why the full venue record still leans Augsburg even after the visitors' recent successes.
The latest phase tells a different story. Augsburg won 2-1 in April 2022 and again by the same score in September 2023, but Mainz won 2-1 in August 2022, 3-2 in September 2024 and 4-1 in September 2025. Five of the last six scoped matches have therefore produced a winner, with only the longer historical series containing the two draws.
What makes the fixture useful for a buyer is that the current price profile is moderate while the football history is not flat. The venue record contains 51 goals across 15 Bundesliga meetings, just over three per match, and the win count remains close enough to avoid the feel of a routine annual mismatch.
The table below counts only Bundesliga matches at WWK Arena with Augsburg as the host. It excludes reverse fixtures in Mainz, DFB-Pokal meetings and matches from the second tier, so every figure matches the competition, venue and host context of the ticket being sold here.
| Metric | Total |
|---|---|
| Matches played | 15 |
| Augsburg wins | 8 |
| Mainz 05 wins | 5 |
| Draws | 2 |
| Augsburg goals | 27 |
| Mainz 05 goals | 24 |
| Biggest Augsburg win | 3-0, 3 Feb 2019 |
| Biggest Mainz 05 win | 1-4, 20 Sep 2025 |
| First Bundesliga meeting in scope | 17 Mar 2012 |
| Most recent meeting in scope | 20 Sep 2025 |

Augsburg's eight home wins still represent more than half of the scoped meetings, but Mainz have taken three of the last four visits from August 2022 onward. The goal totals are also close, which is a better guide to the competitive shape of the series than the older home-win run alone.
These are all 15 Bundesliga meetings at WWK Arena with Augsburg hosting Mainz, newest first. Keeping the table to this exact setting avoids mixing in Mainz home fixtures, cup ties or the clubs' earlier second-tier meetings.
| Date | Score |
|---|---|
| 20 Sep 2025 | Augsburg 1-4 Mainz 05 |
| 20 Sep 2024 | Augsburg 2-3 Mainz 05 |
| 23 Sep 2023 | Augsburg 2-1 Mainz 05 |
| 20 Aug 2022 | Augsburg 1-2 Mainz 05 |

No. Membership gives access to the club's advance sales phase, while resale listings can be purchased without joining the club.
The designated visiting section is in the south-east of the stadium, centred on Blocks W and X with seated and standing allocation.
Typical Augsburg resale inventory sits broadly around £30 to £120+ for standard seating, with central positions and group quantities usually costing more.
Delivery depends on the listing and can use mobile transfer, wallet pass, e-ticket or collection. The fulfilment method is stated before purchase.
Yes when the listing states that the required quantity is together. Search the full group size before purchase and rely on the adjacency wording shown for that listing.
