Buy Werder Bremen vs SC Freiburg tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Bundesliga meeting at the Weserstadion scheduled for Saturday 23 January 2027, kick-off expected in the traditional 15:30 Saturday slot (14:30 UK) once the league confirms matchday 18 times. It is the first home game of the second half of the season for Werder, and it comes with a score to settle: Freiburg won 4-1 in Breisgau on the opening weekend.

The Werder Bremen crowd has not seen its side beat Freiburg at home since January 2024, and the visitors have taken the last two league meetings on the banks of the Weser. That gives this January fixture more edge than the table might suggest. With around 27,000 season tickets already sold in a stadium that holds 42,100 for league games, day tickets are tight well before the week of the match.
Bremen in winter is compact, walkable and made for a football weekend. The stadium sits on the river a short tram ride from the centre, and the Viertel district between the two fills with fans from midday. What follows covers prices, where to sit, hospitality, delivery and the full history of this fixture at the Weserstadion.
Demand starts with the home base. Werder draw one of the most loyal followings in Germany, and the Ostkurve behind the goal is full long before kick-off whoever the opponent. Season ticket holders account for roughly two thirds of the capacity, so only a limited pool of seats reaches the market for any single match.
The opponent adds to it. SC Freiburg arrive as one of the steadiest clubs in the division, fresh from reaching the 2026 Europa League final in Istanbul, where they lost 3-0 to Aston Villa. They are back in Europe in 2026/27 after coming through the Conference League play-off round against Motherwell, and they bring a travelling support that sells out its allocation for trips of this length.
Timing plays its part too. A January Saturday is prime territory for groups and weekend visitors from the UK and the rest of Europe, and the post-winter-break return tends to lift interest in the first home fixtures of the new year. Business seats and boxes are usually spoken for by the corporate base, which pushes premium demand onto the resale market.
Freiburg's European profile adds a newer layer. Their run to the Europa League final and their place in the Conference League this season have raised their visibility well beyond Germany, and neutral fans who followed that run now look for chances to see them live. A Saturday in Bremen, with easy links from London and other European hubs, is one of the more accessible options on their away calendar.
Finally, there is the recent history. Freiburg are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Werder across both grounds, including a 5-0 win in February 2025 and a 3-0 victory in Bremen in September 2025. Home fans want that run ended, and that kind of motivation shows in the ticket queues.
There is a regional pull as well. Bremen draws supporters from across Lower Saxony and the north-west, many of whom travel in for a handful of games a season rather than holding a season ticket. Those occasional fans compete for the same small pool of day tickets as visitors from abroad, which is why the resale market becomes the main source of seats for anyone who has not planned months ahead.
Not through the club in the early phases. Since July 2023 Werder have offered pre-orders for home match day tickets to club members only. Non-members used to have their own pre-order window, but that phase was removed to simplify the process.
Once members have placed their orders, any remaining tickets go on sale on a first-come, first-served basis to everyone. The club expects some remaining sales for most home games, but for a fixture with this much appetite the pool is small and moves quickly. Tickets resold by members through the club's exchange also feed into that same limited pool.
Joining the club is possible, but it is not a shortcut. Membership gives access to the pre-order phase, yet demand from existing members for the more attractive home fixtures often exceeds the tickets available, and new members join the same queue. For a one-off visit, the cost and timing of membership rarely make sense compared with buying a verified seat directly.
Freiburg supporters face their own route. The away allocation is sold through SC Freiburg, with priority going to members and regular away travellers. German clubs typically set aside around 10% of capacity for visitors, and a trip of more than 600 kilometres from the Black Forest is exactly the kind of fixture the club's core away support targets.
For buyers who are not members of either club, the verified resale market is the practical option. On 1BoxOffice you can compare listings by block, see whether seats are sold together and check delivery terms before paying, without any membership requirement.
Five factors shape the price for this match. Seat location matters most, with central seats in the West and North stands at the top end. Demand follows, lifted by Freiburg's recent run in Bremen. Timing matters as prices shift in the final fortnight, the competition context of a Bundesliga Saturday keeps interest high and hospitality tier sets the ceiling for the 2026/27 season.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier corners | £75 – £110 | Budget-conscious fans | Angled view; full sense of the bowl and the Ostkurve |
| Longside standard | £95 – £150 | First-time visitors | North or South stand seating with a clear side-on view |
| Lower tier central | £130 – £200+ | Fans who want to be close | Near the halfway line; limited supply on matchday |
| Premium seating | £180 – £280+ | Couples and small groups | Central West stand seats with padded chairs |
| Hospitality / VIP | £300 – £600+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Business seats, lounge access and boxes |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
When comparing listings, look at the total including fees rather than the headline figure. Two seats in the same stand can end up closer in price than they first appear once booking and delivery are added, so compare like for like before you commit.
Price movement for this fixture tends to follow two triggers. The first is the confirmation of the kick-off slot, which usually brings a wave of travel bookings and a small rise in listings prices. The second is the final week, when remaining supply thins and the upper end of each range becomes more common. Buyers who settle their seats before either point generally pay less.
Freiburg supporters without a place in their club's allocation should be realistic about where they can sit. Tickets for the away section rarely reach the open market, so a neutral seat in the North or South stand is often the only option. That works well for a relaxed visit, provided you leave the club colours at the hotel and accept that you will be surrounded by home fans for the full 90 minutes. Groups of visiting fans in home areas are the most likely to be moved by stewards.
The Weserstadion has been Werder's home since 1947, and the 2008 to 2011 rebuild turned it into a football-only ground with stands close to the pitch. The steep bowl means sightlines are good across most of the ground. The Weserstadion seating plan shows the stands and block numbers before you choose.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ostkurve (East) | Home fans chasing atmosphere | Lower to mid | Werder's loudest end, with a large standing section; rarely on resale |
| West stand, central | Premium and hospitality buyers | High | Main side with business seats and boxes; the view the cameras use |
| North stand | First-time visitors and families | Mid | Long side with an even view of both halves |
| South stand | Value seekers on the long side | Mid | Similar view to the North; lower rows keep you close |
| Away section, south-west corner | SC Freiburg supporters | Club allocation | Upper and lower wedge in the south-west corner, with standing blocks 114, 116 and 118; Freiburg colours belong here only |
| Upper tier corners | Budget buyers | Lower | Angled views but a full picture of the stadium |
Neutral buyers should dress without club colours and choose the North or South stand, where the mix of supporters is broader. Freiburg fans sitting in home areas should keep celebrations low-key, as stewards can move visiting supporters found outside the away section. For matchday details from gates to transport, the Weserstadion tickets guide covers the whole ground.
The away section moved to the south-west corner ahead of the 2024/25 season, replacing the old upper-tier position in the West curve. The new layout separates away fans more cleanly and adds flexible seating blocks for bigger allocations, so Freiburg's end of the ground sits directly across from the Ostkurve.
The whole ground sits under a roof, so rain is less of a concern than the wind off the Weser on a January afternoon. Upper tier seats catch more of the breeze, and lower rows near the corners can feel the chill at pitch level. Layers make more difference than seat choice here, although central seats in the North and South stands offer the most balanced view of both penalty areas.
Accessible positions for wheelchair users and their companions are available, but supply is limited and allocated through the club. If you need an accessible seat, contact Werder's supporter services before buying on the resale market, as standard listings may not suit specific access requirements.
Werder's hospitality is built around the West stand, with business seats, VIP boxes and the refurbished Matthäi Skylounge among the options. The VIP areas were modernised in 2025, and packages usually combine a padded central seat with food, drink and lounge access.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Business seat | Couples and solo visitors | Padded central seat with lounge catering before and after the match |
| Matthäi Skylounge | Small groups marking an occasion | Elevated lounge with dining and views over the stadium |
| VIP box (Loge West) | Corporate hosts | Private box with catering and dedicated seating |
| Premium seat package | Fans who want the view first | Central West stand seat with a lighter hospitality element |
Inclusions differ between packages, so read the listing carefully for dining times, drinks and parking. Smart casual is the norm, and club colours are welcome in home hospitality areas.
For corporate groups, book early and confirm arrival times. Lounges open well before kick-off, and on a Saturday afternoon the hospitality areas fill quickly with guests who want to eat before the teams come out. If the kick-off moves to an evening slot, package timings usually shift with it, so check the listing again once the league fixes the schedule.
Most tickets for Werder home games are issued digitally, though the method depends on how each seller holds their seats. Every listing shows its delivery type before purchase.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket (app or transfer) | That the transfer reaches your account and the QR code opens before you travel |
| E-ticket (PDF) | That the file shows the right block, row and seat and prints clearly |
| Local collection in Bremen | The address, opening times and the ID you need to bring |
| Hotel delivery | That your hotel expects the tickets and holds them in your name |
Read the listing notes for any restrictions on section or supporter affiliation. Bring valid photo ID, charge your phone before leaving and save the ticket offline where the app allows it, as signal drops when the crowd arrives.
Some tickets for German grounds carry the original buyer's name. Where that applies, the listing notes will say how the seller handles the transfer, and it is worth reading them carefully before purchase so there are no surprises at the turnstile. If anything in the delivery details is unclear, raise it through your order rather than waiting until matchday.
Bags and rucksacks are not allowed inside, so travel light. Gates usually open 90 minutes before kick-off. Trams run from the Hauptbahnhof towards the Weserstadion stop at short intervals on matchdays, and the local transport operator publishes its event timetable a few days before each game. Many fans walk along the river from the Viertel, which takes around 20 to 30 minutes.
That walk is part of the ritual. The Viertel is packed with bars and restaurants, and the Taubenschlag pub close to the ground is a long-standing meeting point for home supporters. Visiting fans are usually directed towards their own approach to the south-west corner, so Freiburg supporters should follow steward guidance on arrival rather than mixing with the home crowd on the Osterdeich.

Bundesliga kick-off times are fixed in blocks a few weeks ahead, and a Saturday fixture can move to Friday or Sunday for television. Book flexible travel, or allow a full weekend either side of the Saturday. Match tickets for Werder home games have traditionally doubled as public transport tickets within the local network, which makes a car unnecessary.
For most of its history, a Freiburg visit to the Weserstadion went Werder's way. The first Bundesliga meeting in Bremen came in April 1994, a 3-2 home win, and the home side followed it with a 5-1 in 1995. Across the late 1990s and 2000s Werder built a strong record, including a 4-0 in April 2010 and a remarkable 5-3 in August 2011 that remains the highest-scoring meeting between the clubs.
The balance has shifted in the past decade. Freiburg won 3-1 in Bremen in 2016, drew three times in four visits and then won 2-1, 1-0 and 3-0 on the Weser between 2023 and 2025, either side of a 3-1 Werder win in January 2024. Werder's relegation in 2021 and return a year later coincided with Freiburg's steady rise into European football, and the fixture has become a real contest rather than a routine home win.
The numbers make the split clear. In the first 13 Bundesliga meetings in Bremen, from 1994 to 2011, Werder won 10, drew once and lost twice. In the 12 since 2013, they have won just twice, with five draws and five Freiburg wins. Across both grounds, Werder also went 12 matches without defeat against Freiburg between 2001 and 2012, a run that now feels a long way off.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the contrast between the two clubs. Werder carry four German titles and six German cups, with a stadium that feels like part of the city. Freiburg have built a reputation as one of the division's most consistent sides, and their recent success in Bremen means both sets of supporters arrive expecting something.
For a buyer, that balance is the appeal. This is not a fixture where the result feels settled before kick-off, and a January meeting between a home side looking to end a run and visitors who have grown comfortable on the Weser has the ingredients for an afternoon that stays open until late.

Figures calculated from the match-by-match results below and cross-checked against published head-to-head records. The 2017 DFB-Pokal meeting in Bremen is excluded as a different competition.
Home advantage has still produced goals. The 25 meetings in scope have yielded 86 goals, an average of almost 3.5 per game, and only five of them finished goalless or with a single goal scored. Three of the last five meetings in Bremen, though, have ended with Werder failing to score, which explains why home supporters see this one as a test.
