Buy FC Koln vs Augsburg tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match scheduled for Saturday 10 April 2027 and kick-off currently listed at 15:30. It is matchday 29 of the Bundesliga at the RheinEnergieStadion in the Mungersdorf district of Cologne. The league confirms exact kick-off slots in batches a few weeks ahead, so the match can still move to the Friday evening, the Saturday evening or the Sunday.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
Tickets in Cologne are notoriously hard to find. The ground holds 50,000, season tickets are capped at 25,500 and tens of thousands of supporters sit on the waiting list. For fans of FC Koln, an April afternoon in the run-in is one of the dates the whole city plans around.
Augsburg have made this one of their better away days. In 11 Bundesliga meetings at the RheinEnergieStadion, Koln have won only twice, with five draws and four Augsburg wins. The last meeting here, in October 2025, finished 1-1 in front of a sell-out crowd of 50,000.
Demand in Cologne does not depend on the visitor. The RheinEnergieStadion holds 50,000 for Bundesliga matches. The last three meetings with Augsburg played in front of 49,000, 49,300 and 50,000. A Saturday afternoon fixture in April will be no different.
Season tickets take more than half the ground before a single match ticket is sold. The club caps them at 25,500 with strict usage rules: for 2025/26, each season ticket had to be used for at least 12 Bundesliga home games. Around 150 holders lost their cards after the previous season for using them too rarely. Members get the first chance at most of what is left.
Augsburg bring a committed travelling support for a trip of more than 500 kilometres. Their visiting fans fill the standing block N6 in the north of the ground, with seated blocks N15 and N16 alongside it. An extra block can be opened when demand is high.
Matchday in Cologne has its own rituals. The billy goat Hennes sits on the club crest, while the whole ground sings the club anthem before kick-off. For many neutral visitors, that build-up is as much the draw as the football.
The two clubs meet first in December at the WWK Arena, where Augsburg vs FC Koln will set the tone for the return in Cologne. Augsburg won 2-0 there in February 2026, so Koln head south in December looking to put that right.
The table adds weight. Augsburg finished ninth in 2025/26, while Koln finished 14th in their first season back after promotion, three points clear of the relegation play-off place. With five rounds left after matchday 29, points in this fixture could matter at either end of the mid-table.
Through the club, rarely. Koln sell home tickets to season ticket holders and members first. For a Bundesliga Saturday there is usually little or nothing left for a general sale. The waiting list for season tickets runs to several tens of thousands, which shows how far demand outstrips supply.
Membership helps, but it is not a guarantee. Members compete with each other in each sale, while the Sudkurve terrace is almost entirely season tickets. The club runs a ticket exchange where unused tickets can be resold to other supporters, but supply depends on who drops out.
Augsburg supporters buy through their own club for the visiting blocks. Anyone hoping to stand with the travelling fans should buy only listings in the away section, because red, green and white have no place in the home areas on a matchday.
Buying through 1BoxOffice removes the need for membership or a place in a club queue. You choose the stand, standing or seated and the number of places, then compare prices across verified sellers. The same buyer protection applies if you buy months ahead or in the final week.
Five things drive the price for this fixture. Location comes first, with the central West stand at the top of the scale and standing places on the Sudkurve at the bottom. Demand follows and builds steadily through the season, while timing matters too: a Saturday afternoon slot in spring sells faster than a winter Friday night. The 2026/27 run-in adds pressure, with hospitality sitting in a separate price band altogether.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sudkurve standing | £60 – £110 | Fans who want the home terrace | A place on the terrace rather than a numbered seat |
| Upper tier, ends and corners | £70 – £120 | First-time visitors on a budget | Raised view across the whole pitch |
| East stand | £90 – £160 | Couples and small groups | Side-on view opposite the main stand |
| West stand, central | £120 – £220+ | Buyers who want a clear tactical view | Main stand with the tunnel and dugouts, sells early |
| Hospitality and VIP | £250 – £500+ | Corporate guests and celebrations | Lounge access, dining and premium seats |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Standing places carry the lowest prices but are also hard to find, since the Sudkurve is almost entirely season tickets. If you want a terrace place, act as soon as listings appear rather than waiting for the matchday week.
Face value in Cologne is modest by the standards of Europe's major leagues, but almost none of it reaches the open market. Resale prices reflect access to a sold-out ground rather than the figure printed on the ticket. Buying early, before the pool of listings thins, does more for your budget than any other single choice.
The RheinEnergieStadion is a rectangular, two-tier ground with no running track, rebuilt on the site of the old Mungersdorf stadium in 2004. Its roof hangs from four floodlit corner towers, which light up the skyline on matchdays. The Sudkurve behind the south goal is the home terrace, the North stand holds the away section and the West and East stands run the touchlines. The RheinEnergieStadion seating plan breaks down every block if you want to compare positions in detail.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sudkurve | Home fans who want to stand and sing | Lower | The home terrace. Expect flags, choreography and ninety minutes on your feet |
| West stand, central | A clear tactical view and comfort | Upper | Main stand with the tunnel, dugouts and most of the hospitality |
| East stand | Side-on view at a fairer price | Mid-range | A strong all-round option for neutral visitors and families |
| Upper tiers, corners | Value and a view of the Sudkurve | Lower to mid-range | High and steep, with the home terrace in full view |
| North stand, home blocks | Behind-the-goal view facing the Sudkurve | Mid-range | The mirror view of the home terrace, near the visiting section |
| Away section, North stand | Augsburg supporters only | Lower | Standing in block N6 and seats in N15 and N16, entered from the north-east. Red, green and white belong here and nowhere else |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for the East stand and keep club colours out of sight. Augsburg colours will stand out anywhere outside the away section, while red and white is the safe choice in every home area. For a first visit, the lower East stand gives a central view at a fairer price than the main stand. You can compare live listings for other matches at the RheinEnergieStadion if your travel dates are flexible.
The ground has hosted bigger occasions than a league afternoon. It staged matches at the 2006 World Cup. Its capacity drops from 50,000 to 45,872 for international fixtures, when standing areas are converted to seats. For a Bundesliga game, the full standing capacity is in use.
Standing on the Sudkurve is an experience in itself, but it is not for everyone. You will be on your feet for the whole match in a dense crowd, with flags and songs around you. If you want a numbered seat and a clear view, choose the West or East stand.
Bags are the other thing to plan for. Bags and backpacks are not allowed in the stadium and there is no storage at the ground, so travel light. Glass bottles and cans are also banned in the area around the stadium on matchdays.
Koln's premium seating is built around the West stand, the main stand that holds the tunnel and dugouts. Business seats, lounges and private boxes sit in and around it, with dining before and after the match.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Private boxes | Corporate groups and private parties | A private space with catering and a view across the pitch |
| Business lounges | Guests marking a special occasion | Pre-match dining and central main-stand seats |
| Business seats | Business guests and regular visitors | Padded seats in the West stand with lounge access |
| Matchday hospitality packages | Couples and small groups stepping up | Premium seats and catering without a season-long commitment |
Hospitality in Cologne is in high demand. Much of it is held by business partners on a seasonal basis, so book as soon as the date is confirmed if comfort matters more than atmosphere.
Inclusions vary from one package to the next, from the menu to arrival times and any dress guidance, so read the listing in full before you travel. For a larger group, a private box keeps everyone together and makes the cost easier to justify per head once food and drink are included.
Delivery depends on how the seller holds the ticket. Digital delivery is the most common format for Bundesliga resale, though some listings still use paper tickets. The listing tells you exactly what to expect and when.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile tickets | That you have the app or account the seller names, logged in with the email used for transfer |
| E-tickets (PDF or QR code) | That the code is clear on screen or printed, with one code per person |
| Paper tickets by courier | A delivery address where someone can sign, plus your hotel details if you travel early |
| Matchday collection | The exact meeting point and time, with your order reference and photo ID to hand |
Read the listing notes for delivery timing and any seat restrictions before you pay. Bring valid photo ID in case stewards ask for it at the turnstile. Charge your phone fully if you hold mobile tickets, since a flat battery at the gate is an easy way to miss kick-off.
Plan around the delivery date shown in the listing rather than the date you buy. Mobile tickets are often released in the final week before a match, so an empty inbox a month out is normal. Your order status shows exactly where things stand.
The stadium sits at Aachener Strasse 999 in Mungersdorf, west of the city centre. Tram line 1 runs to the RheinEnergieStadion stop, with extra services from Neumarkt on matchdays. Your match ticket usually covers local public transport in the VRS area, so check the ticket before you buy a separate fare.
The setting is greener than most Bundesliga grounds. The stadium sits within a large sports park beside the Stadtwald on the western edge of the city, so the walk from the tram stop is short and flat. Many supporters meet in the bars of the city centre or nearby Lindenthal before heading out.
Trams fill quickly in the last hour before kick-off, so travel early and allow time for the security checks. Stewards carry out alcohol checks. Supporters who are clearly drunk can be refused entry.

Overseas buyers should favour mobile or e-ticket listings, which avoid courier delays across borders. If you need seats together, filter for that before you pay and look for the confirmation in the listing notes. Cologne Bonn airport is a short train ride from the city centre, while Dusseldorf airport is under an hour away by rail.
The main risk for travellers is the date itself. Bundesliga kick-off slots are fixed only a few weeks ahead, so a Saturday afternoon game can move to the Friday night, the Saturday evening or the Sunday. Book flexible flights and refundable hotels until the slot for matchday 29 is published.
Cologne is an easy city to fill a weekend around the match. The cathedral stands beside the main station. The old town runs down to the Rhine, while the brewery taverns serving Kolsch fill up long before kick-off. Most hotels sit in the centre, with tram line 1 making the trip out to Mungersdorf simple.
Rail makes Cologne easy to reach from across Europe. High-speed trains link Koln Hauptbahnhof with Frankfurt in around an hour, Brussels in around two hours and Amsterdam in under three, so a match weekend can be built around a city break without a flight at all.
Augsburg supporters face a long journey from Bavaria. The drive covers more than 500 kilometres, so a coach, an early train or an overnight stay is the norm for a Saturday afternoon kick-off.
If you are travelling in from abroad on the day, leave a wide margin between landing and kick-off. Transfers across the city on a matchday can take longer than planned; a tight connection is an easy way to miss the first half.
Augsburg's first Bundesliga visit to Cologne came in October 2011, during their first season in the top flight. Koln won 3-0 in front of 48,000, with Lukas Podolski scoring twice in five minutes in the first half and Slawomir Peszko adding his first Bundesliga goal after the break. Augsburg finished with ten men after Torsten Oehrl was sent off.
That result proved misleading. Koln were relegated at the end of that season. When the fixture returned in 2014/15 Augsburg won 2-1, then 1-0 a year later. Since 2011 Koln have won only one of their ten home meetings with Augsburg, a 3-2 in October 2022, with five draws in between.
The recent meetings have been tight. Three of the last four games here ended level or by a single goal. The 2025 draw summed up the fixture: Rieder put Augsburg ahead from the penalty spot after 54 minutes, before Said El Mala levelled for Koln in the 76th minute in front of a full house.
Augsburg's own story explains part of the pattern. The club has stayed in the Bundesliga every season since its promotion in 2011, while Koln have been relegated three times in the same period. Augsburg finished ninth in 2025/26, eleven points ahead of Koln.
For a buyer, the record means this is no home banker. Koln have scored more than once only twice in 11 meetings here, while Augsburg have kept four clean sheets. Expect a close, nervy game in a full stadium on a spring afternoon, with the Sudkurve doing everything it can to tip the balance.
The figures below cover all Bundesliga meetings at the RheinEnergieStadion with Koln as hosts, from Augsburg's first visit in 2011/12 to the most recent meeting in October 2025. Second-tier meetings and cup ties sit outside this scope.
| Metric | Total |
|---|---|
| Matches played | 11 |
| Koln wins | 2 |
| Augsburg wins | 4 |
| Draws | 5 |
| Koln goals | 11 |
| Augsburg goals | 12 |
| Widest Koln win | 3-0 (30 October 2011) |
| Widest Augsburg win | 2-0 (10 December 2021) |
| First Bundesliga meeting in scope | 30 October 2011 |
| Most recent meeting in scope | 18 October 2025 |
Goals have been scarce. Only three of the 11 meetings here produced more than two goals. The overall goal difference is just one in Augsburg's favour.
Crowds have stayed high whatever the form. The first meeting drew 48,000, the 2016 game 50,000 and the 2018 game 49,900, with only the pandemic seasons of 2020/21 and 2021/22 breaking the pattern.

The pattern is clear. Two Koln wins in 11 meetings, five draws and four Augsburg victories, with every Augsburg win coming by one or two goals.
Draws have been the most frequent result here, five in 11, including four of the last seven meetings. Koln have also not kept a clean sheet against Augsburg at home since the goalless draw of November 2016, which points to another close afternoon in April.

Not on a resale marketplace, where verified sellers list seats and standing places without any membership requirement for the buyer.
Visiting supporters stand in block N6 of the North stand, with seats in blocks N15 and N16 alongside, entered from the north-east of the ground.
Bags and backpacks are generally not allowed and there is no storage at the ground, so leave them at your hotel.
Take tram line 1 to the RheinEnergieStadion stop, with extra services from Neumarkt on matchdays. Your ticket usually covers the fare.
Only if the listing states that the seats are together. Groups of four or more will find more choice in the upper tier than in the central West stand.
