Buy Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with kickoff scheduled for Wednesday 13 January 2027 at 16:30 at the Allianz Arena. In twenty-one Bundesliga visits to this stadium Leverkusen have won twice. Not twice in the last five years: twice in total, since the ground opened in 2005. One of those two wins was the only league defeat Bayern suffered in an entire record-breaking championship season, which tells you why a fixture between the two most consistent sides in Germany still feels like a trap rather than a formality.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
The Allianz Arena holds 75,024 for Bundesliga matches, one of the larger capacities in European football, and yet it is among the harder tickets on the continent to obtain at face value. Bayern's membership runs into the hundreds of thousands and Dauerkarte holders take a substantial share of the ground before a single match ticket is released. Buyers weighing up Bayern Munich matchday seats for the January window should treat the resale market as the practical route rather than a fallback.
A midweek slot in the second week of January puts this fixture in the opening stretch after the winter break, the point where a title race either reopens or quietly closes. Both clubs know what is at stake in a January meeting between the sides who have shared the last several German championships between them, and the demand reflects it.
Two wins in twenty-one visits is the headline, but the detail is what sells the fixture. Leverkusen have never beaten Bayern at this stadium by more than a single goal. Both of their victories finished 2-1. They have failed to score at all in eight of the twenty-one meetings, and across the full run they have been outscored 46 goals to 16. This is not a rivalry built on parity.
What makes it compelling is that Leverkusen have been the one side capable of puncturing Bayern at their most dominant. Their 2012 win at the arena came in a season Bayern won with a record points total, losing only that one league match all year. Their 2019 win came in a campaign Bayern also ended as champions. Buyers looking at Bayer Leverkusen away allocations should move early, because the Bundesliga's away allocation rules give visiting clubs a meaningful block and Leverkusen fill it for this trip.
The sharpest detail of all belongs to 2023/24. Leverkusen went the entire Bundesliga season unbeaten to win their first German title, thirty-four matches without defeat. They still could not win at the Allianz Arena. The September meeting finished 2-2, one of only six matches all season in which they dropped points. The ground held even against a team that beat everyone else.
Demand for Bayern home fixtures is graded, and the very top band belongs to Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund, which clears on a scale of its own. This fixture sits immediately beneath it and above everything else on the calendar, which is where the widest gap between face value and resale tends to open.
Through the club's own channels, this is one of the harder fixtures in Europe to reach without membership. Bayern release tickets in sequence, with Dauerkarte holders and members served first, and for the highest-demand matches the public window is either minimal or absent. Membership itself is inexpensive by the standards of other major clubs, but it buys a place in a very long queue rather than a seat.
German ticketing is also structurally different from the English or Spanish model, and the difference works against a casual buyer. The 50+1 ownership rule and the culture it protects keep face values remarkably low: seats at the Allianz Arena have run from roughly £13 equivalent for the standing terrace up to around £105 for the better-placed seats. Affordability is the point of the German system. Scarcity is the consequence.
That combination produces the widest gap between face value and resale of any major European league. When a terrace place costs a fraction of what the equivalent would cost in London or Madrid, and the ground sells out for every fixture regardless of opponent, the secondary market carries the entire weight of demand from anyone outside the membership.
Bayern operate their own exchange where members can pass on a ticket they cannot use, typically close to face value, but access to it is restricted the same way everything else is. A verified marketplace is the route that does not require a German address, a membership number or years on a waiting list, and it is where seats that never reached a public sale window remain reachable. It also lets a buyer in Dubai or Dublin commit in the autumn rather than waiting on a sale date they cannot attend in person.
Five things move the price here: where the seat sits in the three-tier bowl, how little of the allocation ever reaches open sale, the January slot in a live title race, the standing of the visitors and whether the listing carries hospitality. Face values across the ground run from roughly £13 equivalent on the terrace to around £105 for the stronger seats, among the lowest in Europe's major leagues. Resale sits far above that, and the reason is arithmetic rather than opportunism: 75,000 seats cannot absorb the demand a fixture of this size generates.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier and corners | £200 – £330 | Buyers prioritising value | Third tier, steep but fully covered. The corners hold availability longest |
| Behind the goals | £260 – £410 | Atmosphere-first supporters | The ends where the noise lives. Lower south converts to a standing terrace for league matches |
| Middle tier longside | £380 – £640+ | Buyers prioritising the view | Central blocks in the second tier give the strongest angles in the stadium |
| Lower tier central and premium | £550 – £980+ | Couples or small groups marking the occasion | Close to the pitch on the west side, where the club places its premium inventory |
| Hospitality and VIP | £850 – £1,900+ | Corporate guests, special occasions | Lounge or business-seat packages with catering and hosting. A top-band fixture prices at the upper end |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The Allianz Arena is a continuous three-tier bowl, fully roofed, with every seat under cover and no supporting pillars anywhere in the structure. For a January evening in Bavaria that roof matters more than it would in August: it keeps the rain off every seat in the ground, though the open rectangle above the pitch means cold air settles rather than lifts. Buyers weighing up broader Allianz Arena matchday availability across the season will see the same tier and block numbering used throughout.
Orientation is straightforward once you know the ends. The Südkurve behind the south goal is the home support's territory, and its lower tier converts to a standing terrace of roughly 9,300 for Bundesliga matches, reverting to seating for European fixtures under continental regulations. The Nordkurve faces it, carrying home seating in its lower and middle sections with the visiting allocation above. The two long sides run all three tiers, with the west carrying the premium and hospitality inventory and the east offering the quieter, more analytical view. Visiting supporters sit in the upper tier at the north end, in blocks numbered from 340 to 347, with their own entrances and concourse.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Südkurve lower (standing) | Supporters who want the singing and the flags | Lower | A terrace of around 9,300 for league matches. Standing throughout, dense and loud. Not the place for young children |
| Südkurve upper and middle | Atmosphere with a seat | Mid | Same end, seated, with the noise from the terrace below carrying up. A strong compromise |
| Middle tier central (blocks 201 to 213) | Buyers who want the strongest view | Upper mid to premium | The most sought-after seats in the ground. Elevated enough to read the shape, close enough to feel it |
| Upper tier central (around blocks 303 to 304) | Value with a clear tactical view | Mid | High and steep but fully covered, with the whole pitch in frame. Good value against the tier below |
| West side lower | Comfort, cover and facilities | Premium | Where hospitality and premium seating sit, with strong concourse provision and shorter queues |
| North upper, blocks 340 to 347 (visiting supporters) | Leverkusen supporters | Mid | Dedicated entrances and concourse. Red and black belongs here and nowhere else in the ground |
If you are undecided or buying as a neutral, the central blocks of the upper tier are the value call and the middle tier around halfway is the one worth paying for. Two practical points for a January fixture. The ground is fully covered, so rain is a non-issue, but a midweek evening in Munich in mid-January is genuinely cold and the bowl holds that cold. Bag rules are strict, with a maximum size of DIN A4 and no backpacks permitted at all, and there is no facility to store a larger bag on site, so travel with nothing bigger than a jacket pocket will take.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Business seat with lounge access | Couples or pairs marking an occasion | Padded central seating on the west side with lounge entry before the match and at half time |
| Club or restaurant package | Small groups wanting a full matchday | Seated dining before kickoff, table service and a short walk to the seat |
| Private box | Companies entertaining clients, larger groups | Enclosed box with its own catering and hosting, arranged so a party stays together |
| Group hospitality package | Corporate buyers and travel groups | Block seating with hospitality bundled, priced per head and arranged as one booking |
Bayern's published hospitality descriptions set out what each product includes, and the inventory is concentrated on the west side of the bowl. The practical difference between tiers is warmth and time rather than food: on a January midweek evening, a package that lets you arrive early, eat indoors and walk to a covered seat without queueing outside is worth more than the same product would be in September.
Hospitality for the top-band fixtures is committed long before the fixture week, because corporate buyers book the marquee dates as a block at the start of the season rather than match by match. If a premium package is the point of the trip, treat the autumn as your deadline rather than the new year.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | Whether the barcode arrives by app or as a transfer plus the release window stated in the listing |
| Electronic ticket (print at home) | That the PDF is emailed before you travel and that you print a clean copy as a backup |
| Collection in Munich | The exact collection point and its opening hours against your arrival time |
| Courier to your address | Lead time against your travel date plus whether delivery to a hotel in Munich is accepted |
German matchday entry has moved decisively to digital, and the Allianz Arena is no exception. Barcodes on club apps refresh on a timer, which means a screenshot saved days earlier will often fail to scan at the turnstile. Load the ticket properly in your phone wallet or the app it was issued through, turn your screen brightness up before you reach the gate, and have a charged phone rather than one on its last few percent after a day in the cold.
Read the listing notes before you buy, because release timing on Bundesliga fixtures runs later than most buyers expect: sellers can only pass on a ticket once the club issues it, so a purchase made in the autumn for a January fixture will sit confirmed but undelivered for some weeks. That is normal rather than a problem, and the order status tells you where things stand.

Step1
Confirm the fixture
Make sure you are on the January 2027 fixture at the Allianz Arena. The German league confirms exact matchday slots a few weeks ahead and midweek kickoff times can move, so the date on the listing is what counts.
Step2
Set up your account
You can create an account in under a minute. It keeps your order history, delivery details and any seats-together requests in one place.
Step3
Filter by tier and budget
Narrow the listings to the tiers you are willing to sit in before comparing prices. In a three-tier bowl the tier matters far more than the row within it.
Step4
Read the listing notes
Delivery method, release timing and whether seats are guaranteed together are all stated on the listing. Note in particular whether a listing is a standing place rather than a seat.
Step5
Select your quantity
Choose how many places you need. Pairs are the most widely available at this ground, while blocks of four or more hold out longest in the upper tier and the corners.
Step6
Review the total
The payment page shows the full amount including fees and delivery before you confirm anything. No figure appears after you have committed.
Step7
Complete the purchase securely
Pay through the encrypted payment page. Your confirmation email lands immediately and carries the reference you will need for any follow-up.
Step8
Follow your order to delivery
Use track order to watch the status through to dispatch. German clubs issue tickets later than most, so a delivery window close to the fixture is standard here.
Overseas buyers have the smoothest route with mobile or electronic delivery, which removes any dependence on a courier reaching a Munich hotel in the first working week of January. If your seats are listed for collection, confirm the collection point and its hours against your arrival time before booking flights. Munich's airport connects to the city centre by S-Bahn in roughly forty minutes, and the city is well served by rail from across Germany and Austria for buyers routing overland.
Reaching the stadium is one of the easiest journeys in European football. The U6 underground line runs directly to Fröttmaning, around sixteen to twenty minutes from Marienplatz in the city centre, followed by a covered walk of ten to fifteen minutes across the esplanade to the turnstiles. There is no meaningful parking for general buyers and none is needed. Confirm what your ticket covers on the transport network, since the terms have varied over the years and a separate city ticket is sometimes required. Groups should flag a seats-together request at the point of purchase rather than afterwards, and supporters planning the return meeting at the BayArena in Leverkusen should apply the same caution to that date, since the German league confirms the second half of the calendar in stages.
Bayern have hosted Leverkusen twenty-one times in the Bundesliga since the Allianz Arena opened, and the ledger is as one-sided as any regular fixture in German football: fifteen home wins, four draws, two defeats, with forty-six goals scored and sixteen conceded. That works out at better than two goals a game for the hosts and under one for the visitors.
The two exceptions are what give the fixture its charge. In October 2012 Leverkusen won 2-1 in Munich and it turned out to be the only league match Bayern lost all season, in a campaign that finished with a record points total and the treble. In November 2019 they repeated the scoreline, leaving Bayern outside the qualification places after thirteen rounds in a season the hosts nonetheless went on to win. Twice in twenty-one attempts, and on both occasions against a side that ended the year as champions anyway.
The most recent chapter sharpens it further. Leverkusen's unbeaten championship of 2023/24, thirty-four games without a league defeat, is one of the outstanding seasons in German football history. Their visit to the Allianz Arena that year produced a 2-2 draw, one of only six matches in which they dropped a point. The stadium did not beat them. It did not let them win either, and that remains the case: six consecutive Bundesliga trips here without a victory since 2019.
What gives the fixture its character is the gap between reputation and outcome at this specific address. Leverkusen have won a German title and gone a full season unbeaten in the years covered by this record, and they have still managed two wins in twenty-one attempts here. Every January visit carries the question of whether this is the year the pattern breaks, which is a better reason to buy a ticket than a lopsided scoreline suggests.
All figures cover Bundesliga meetings at the Allianz Arena with Bayern Munich as hosts, from the stadium's first league season in 2005/06 to the end of 2025/26. Meetings at the Olympiastadion fall outside this scope.

Scores shown as Bayern Munich first. Each result cross-referenced against archived German league season data, ESPN match records including the venue field, the OpenLigaDB match database and RSSSF archives.
For the club's own sales windows, effectively yes on a fixture of this size, since season ticket holders and members are served first and the public window is minimal. A resale marketplace is the route that does not require one.
German clubs deliberately hold face values among the lowest in Europe while selling out every week. That gap between a low set price and very high demand is what the secondary market absorbs.
In the upper tier at the north end, in blocks numbered 340 to 347, with dedicated entrances and concourse space. Visiting colours should be kept to that section only.
The lower south end is a standing terrace of around 9,300 for league matches and the rest of the bowl is seated. Any listing for that area is a standing place, which the listing notes should state.
The U6 line runs to Fröttmaning, around sixteen to twenty minutes from the city centre, then a ten to fifteen minute walk. Bags are limited to DIN A4 size with no backpacks and no storage on site.
