Buy LASK vs Slovan Bratislava tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Champions League league phase fixture set for Tuesday 3 November 2026 at 21:00 CET (21:00 in Linz and Bratislava, 20:00 in the UK and 00:00 on Wednesday in the UAE). It is Matchday 4, it is the first competitive meeting between the two clubs and it is one of only four league phase nights in Linz this season.

For LASK, every one of those nights is new. The Austrian champions reached the league phase for the first time in the club's history, and they got there with an extra-time comeback against Celtic in the play-off. This one brings a neighbour from further down the Danube rather than a giant, which is exactly why it appeals to buyers who want the atmosphere without the Liverpool price tag.
This guide explains how LASK sells its Champions League seats, what the resale market charges, where to sit inside the Raiffeisen Arena and how delivery and entry work. It also covers travel from the UK, Slovakia and the Gulf for a Tuesday night in Upper Austria.
The stadium is small by Champions League standards. The Raiffeisen Arena holds just over 19,000 for domestic games, a figure chosen to echo the club's founding year of 1908, and that falls to a little over 17,000 for UEFA fixtures once the standing terrace is converted to seats. For a club playing its first league phase, that is not many seats to go round.
The way LASK sold its home games tightened supply further. Seats were offered only as a four-match package covering Liverpool, Slovan, Fenerbahçe and Porto, with season ticket holders getting a protected pre-sale window before general sale opened on 7 September. There were no single tickets for any of the four fixtures, so buyers who only want this match have to find a seat on the resale market.
Demand also comes from the east. Slovan Bratislava are only a few hours away, and Slovak coverage of the draw singled out Linz as the most fan-friendly trip of their league phase. Expect the guest section to be full and plenty of Slovan supporters hunting for seats elsewhere in the ground.
The rest of Slovan's away schedule explains why. Their other league phase trips take them to Paris, Rome and Lille, all flights rather than a drive along the motorway. For supporters on a budget, Linz is the one away night that costs little more than a weekend in Vienna, and many will want to be there for it.
Novelty is the final driver. The Raiffeisen Arena only opened in 2023, and these are the first Champions League league phase nights it has ever staged, which gives each of the four home games a sense of occasion for local supporters who waited 61 years for a title and never had a night like this in their own city.
Not through the club in the usual way. LASK ran a protected pre-sale for its season ticket holders from 2 to 7 September, and those holders could add up to four extra four-match packages at the normal price. Whatever remained then went on general sale, still only as a package.
That structure works well for locals with a season ticket and poorly for everyone else. A supporter flying in from London or Dubai for one Tuesday night does not want to pay for Liverpool, Fenerbahçe and Porto as well, and a neutral visitor may not be able to use the other three dates at all.
Slovan supporters follow a separate route. The guest section is allocated to the visiting club, which distributes its share to its own supporters, and there is no reliable way into that section without going through Bratislava.
The resale marketplace is the practical alternative. Package holders who cannot attend every game can list individual matches, which means single seats and pairs for this fixture appear even though the club never sold them that way. You see the area, the quantity and the delivery method before you pay.
Families should read listings closely. LASK priced children under 14 at a quarter of the adult rate inside its packages, but a resale seat is not always sold at that child rate, and a child ticket may need proof of age at the gate. If you are bringing children, the Family grandstand is the obvious place to start your search.
Five factors shape prices for this match. Seat location comes first, with central longside seats priced well above the ends, while demand for the 2026/27 league phase, the timing of listings, the competition context and the hospitality tier all push the ceiling up or down.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behind the goal or corner seats | £90 – £150 | Budget-conscious buyers and home-end atmosphere | Includes the ASK grandstand, seated for UEFA matches |
| Longside standard | £110 – £190 | Neutrals and pairs who want a side-on view | A reliable middle ground on view and price |
| Central longside | £150 – £260+ | First-time visitors after a close, central view | Stock is usually thinner here, so buy early |
| Premium seating | £220 – £380+ | Couples and small groups marking the occasion | Central seats with added comfort; inclusions vary by listing |
| Hospitality / VIP | £350 – £650+ | Corporate guests and special trips | Business Club access with catering; confirm what each listing includes |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
For context, LASK priced the standing-terrace package at €150 for all four matches, which works out at €37.50 a game, with children under 14 paying 25% of the regular price. The resale premium you pay for this fixture is really the cost of buying one match instead of four.
The gap between LASK's four home nights is striking. Across the market, the lowest listing for this match currently sits at less than a quarter of the lowest-priced seat for Liverpool, and it also undercuts the Fenerbahçe and Porto nights. If your priority is simply being inside the ground for the club's first league phase season, this is the fixture where your budget stretches furthest.
The arena sits on the Froschberg, around three kilometres south-west of the Old Town, and its compact bowl keeps every seat close to the pitch. The ASK grandstand is the heart of the home support, the Black-White grandstand and the Family grandstand offer calmer options and visiting supporters use a dedicated guest section. The Raiffeisen Arena seating plan shows how the sections fit together.
Entrances are split by area, so it pays to know yours before you arrive. The W sections use entrance E1, the A, S and K sections use E2 and E3, the N and O sections use E4, E5 and E7, the guest section uses E6 and the BWT Business Club has its own entrance at E8.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASK grandstand | Home supporters who want to sing for 90 minutes | Lower | The club's fan zone and largest kiosk sit here; seated for UEFA games but expect people on their feet |
| Black-White grandstand | Neutrals and LASK fans who want a step away from the home terrace | Mid | Kiosks 2 to 4 serve this stand; a sensible pick for mixed groups |
| Family grandstand | Parents with children and first-time visitors | Lower to mid | Dedicated kiosks 5 to 7; a relaxed home area suited to younger fans |
| Central longside sections | Buyers who want the full tactical picture | Mid to upper | Limited resale stock, so buy early if the halfway line matters to you |
| BWT Business Club seats | Corporate guests and special occasions | Upper | Separate entrance E8 and catering across three floors |
| Guest section (entrance E6) | Slovan supporters with an allocation ticket | Set by the visiting club | Its own kiosk and entry route, with around 1,900 places at domestic games; the only area for Slovan colours |
The ground itself is new. The Raiffeisen Arena opened in February 2023 on the site of the old Linzer Stadion on the Gugl and meets UEFA Category 4 standards. In European competition it carries the name Oberösterreich Arena because of UEFA's sponsorship rules, so do not be surprised to see that name on your ticket or in match coverage.
Undecided or neutral buyers should look at the Black-White or Family grandstand and keep club colours to a minimum. Slovan shirts belong in the guest section, and a plain jacket avoids awkward moments among home supporters.
Hospitality at the Raiffeisen Arena centres on the BWT Business Club, which spreads across three floors and hosts more than 2,000 guests per home game. The club describes catering with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, a selected wine list, matchday interviews and a separate entrance that avoids the queues.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Business Club seat | Business travellers and couples | A seat linked to Business Club access, with catering included |
| Business Club subscription seat on resale | Buyers who want a seat normally held by partners | Subscriptions are transferable, so holders can pass on a single match |
| Group or partner packages | Companies entertaining clients | Several seats together with a shared hospitality experience |
| Premium seats with food and drink | Small groups wanting comfort without full hospitality | Better seats bundled with refreshments, depending on the seller |
Supply is tighter than the capacity suggests. The club sells Business Club day tickets only to partners and existing subscription holders, so hospitality seats for this match reach the open market mainly through resale. Read each listing carefully and confirm whether catering, drinks and the separate entrance are included.
The practical benefits suit a Tuesday night. Guests skip the general queues, and the club notes that Business Club access remains available after the final whistle, so there is no rush back into the cold while the crowds clear.
Austrian club tickets are simpler than some European markets, with no national fan card system to register for before you buy. The delivery method in the listing still decides how smooth your matchday is.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | Which app or account the ticket is transferred to, and that it opens on your phone before you travel |
| E-ticket | Whether it is a printable PDF or a barcode, plus the date the seller expects to send it |
| Package seat transfer | That the seat is transferred for this match only and the name on it can be changed if required |
| Hand delivery in Linz | The meeting point or hotel, the handover time and a contact number for match day |
Read the listing notes before paying and supply any attendee details promptly. Bring valid photo ID in case stewards ask for it, and charge your phone fully for mobile entry.
Getting there is easy. The stadium is around 15 to 20 minutes from the Old Town by public transport, bus frequency is increased on home matchdays and a dedicated bus lane runs from the main railway station. Visiting supporters are advised to avoid stops next to the home sections.
Inside, the arena runs as a bottle-free zone with reusable bottles, so leave plastic bottles at the hotel. Kiosks accept both cash and card, and your section letter tells you which entrance to use, which saves a lap of the stadium in the dark.

Linz is straightforward to reach. Most international visitors fly into Vienna, which has direct flights from Dubai and London, and take a direct Railjet towards Linz, while trains between Vienna and Linz run in around one hour and 15 minutes. Slovan supporters face a trip of only a few hours from Bratislava by road or rail via Vienna. Hotels near the main station or in the Old Town both connect easily to the stadium by tram and bus.
Plan around a late finish. A 21:00 kick-off means the final whistle arrives close to 23:00, so book accommodation in Linz rather than planning a same-night return to Vienna. Request seats together in the listing notes and keep flights flexible. Supporters watching the clock from the Gulf should remember that kick-off lands at midnight in the UAE, so a Wednesday flight home is the realistic plan.
LASK and Slovan Bratislava have never met in a competitive fixture, so there is no head-to-head record to draw on. What both bring is a story that makes this night worth the trip. LASK won the Austrian title in 2025/26 for the first time since 1965 and completed the double in the same season.
Their route into the league phase was even more dramatic. Beaten 3-0 by Celtic in Glasgow in the first leg of the play-off, and trailing 4-0 on aggregate after conceding early in Linz, LASK scored four times in normal time and won in extra time, finishing 5-1 on the night and 5-4 on aggregate. It came seven years after a 3-1 aggregate play-off defeat to Club Brugge had kept them out.
Slovan's European pedigree runs deeper. The Bratislava club beat Barcelona 3-2 in Basel to lift the 1969 Cup Winners' Cup, and in 2024/25 they made their debut in the league phase format, a hard education against opponents including Manchester City, AC Milan and Bayern Munich.
This season they came through three qualifying rounds to return, sealing their place with an extra-time win over Celje in the play-off. Linz is the shortest trip of their league phase, and Slovan supporters are expected to make the most of it.
The format raises the stakes. In a 36-team league phase, the top eight go straight into the round of 16 and the clubs placed ninth to 24th enter the knockout phase play-offs, so a home game against the opponent closest in profile carries real weight for both sides.
For buyers, a first meeting between two neighbours changes the demand pattern. There is no old grievance to keep people away, only a debutant host with a new stadium, a travelling crowd from just down the river and two sets of supporters who can reach each other's cities in an afternoon.
Yes, through resale. The club sold its Champions League home games only as four-match packages, so individual seats for this fixture come from package holders listing the matches they cannot attend.
Buying early gives you the widest choice of central seats and pairs in a stadium of around 17,000 for UEFA games. Late listings do appear, but the better-value blocks tend to go first.
Visiting supporters use the guest section reached through entrance E6, with tickets distributed by the Slovak club. Fans seated in home areas should leave Slovan shirts and scarves at the hotel.
Yes, but it is scarce, because the club reserves Business Club day tickets for partners and subscription holders. Resale listings from those holders are the main way in for everyone else.
The match starts at 20:00 in the UK on Tuesday 3 November 2026 and at midnight in the UAE, as Tuesday turns into Wednesday. Local kick-off in Linz is 21:00.
