Buy FC Thun tickets for the 2026/27 Season and watch the reigning Swiss champions at the Visana Stadion, with the peaks of the Bernese Oberland on the horizon. Founded in 1898, Thun won the Swiss Super League for the first time in 2025/26, only a year after promotion from the Challenge League, and this season they carry that title into the Swiss top flight and the Conference League.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
Thun compete in the 2026/27 Swiss Super League, a 12-club division. Each club plays the others three times over 33 rounds, after which the table splits into a championship group and a relegation group of six for five more rounds, making 38 matches in all. The champions earn a place in Champions League qualifying, and the bottom club is relegated to the Challenge League.
The title defence comes with European football. As champions, Thun entered Champions League qualifying in July 2026, and after defeats to Dinamo Zagreb and, in the Europa League play-off, to Lech Poznań, they moved into the Conference League league phase. That campaign brings three European home matches to the Visana Stadion before Christmas, against Hajduk Split, Hearts and Gent.
The qualifying rounds were a lesson in how fine the margins are. Thun drew 1–1 with Dinamo Zagreb in front of a sold-out home crowd of 9,000, then lost 3–2 after extra time in Croatia. In the Europa League third qualifying round they beat Víkingur Reykjavík 3–0 at home, with goals from Jan Bamert, Brighton Labeau and Fabio Saiz, and went through 5–3 on aggregate despite a 3–2 defeat in Iceland. Lech Poznań proved too strong in the play-off, winning 7–0 in Poland before a 2–2 draw in Thun.
The dugout changed after the title. Mauro Lustrinelli, the coach who led Thun from the Challenge League to the championship, left for Union Berlin in May 2026, and the club appointed Gian-Luca Privitelli, a former Switzerland under-20 coach who had previously worked with Thun's youth sides. Domestic cup football runs alongside the league in the Swiss Cup, a competition in which Thun have twice reached the final.
Thun sell tickets through the club's online ticket shop, the club ticket office at the stadium on Weststrasse and Ticketcorner, the club's ticketing partner, which runs sales points and a phone line. The online shop uses a virtual queue for high-demand matches, buyers must be 18 or over and have an account, and payment is by Visa, Mastercard or TWINT, the Swiss mobile payment app. Each order is limited to ten tickets, and Ticketcorner's phone line carries a per-minute charge on top of its booking fees.
League tickets go on sale in batches once the Swiss Football League confirms fixture dates, so tickets for matches more than a few weeks away are often not yet available. Planning a trip to the Bernese Oberland around a specific match can mean waiting for a release date that lands after flights and hotels are booked.
European nights add pressure. With a capacity of around 10,000, the Visana Stadion sold out for the visit of Dinamo Zagreb in July 2026, and for the Hajduk Split match only home standing tickets remained, available in person at the club office. Season ticket holders get first refusal on European, cup and top matches, and sales are capped at four tickets per person for each European match.
A marketplace offers another route. Where 1BoxOffice has listings for a Thun match, each one shows the sector, the number of seats and the delivery method before you commit, which helps visitors build a trip around a confirmed seat.
The club also runs its own resale market inside its ticket shop for selected top matches, usually opening around seven days before kick-off. Sellers receive the original ticket price, and resold seats appear in the shop marked as club resale. The club states that it does not support third-party sellers charging inflated prices and reserves the right to cancel tickets bought outside its own channels, so read each listing's notes on how the ticket was issued.
1BoxOffice has operated as a ticket marketplace since 2006, with a strong focus on football across Europe and the Middle East. Orders come with a buyer guarantee, payments are processed securely and bookings can be followed from purchase to delivery.
The guarantee is specific. If no alternative is offered and the original tickets are not received, the buyer is eligible for a full refund, and a credit voucher worth 50% of the original order value (excluding fees and taxes, capped at £125) may also be issued. That is the 150% money-back guarantee in practice.
Thun are a small-city club with a loyal regional following. The city has around 44,000 inhabitants, but the club draws support from across the Bernese Oberland, and its formal supporters' association is named Verein FC Thun Berner Oberland. Ownership is regional too: around 1,800 local small shareholders hold 30% of the club, the members' association holds 4% and no shareholder may exercise more than 35% of the voting rights, even though investor Alexander Lühr's company Berner Oberland United holds a 58% stake. The title season turned that loyalty into sell-outs: the visit of champions Basel in September 2025 drew 10,014, a full house.
The atmosphere comes from the Südtribüne, the South Stand, where the home standing sector and fan groups such as Block Süd gather. Because the stadium is compact, demand outstrips supply for a handful of fixtures every season.
For many league matches, seats remain available until close to kick-off. For the derby, Basel and European fixtures, buying early gives the widest choice.
Thun price league tickets in three seated categories plus the home standing sector and the family corner. For 2026/27, adult tickets cost CHF 63 in Category 1, CHF 45 in Category 2 and CHF 32 in Category 3, with home standing places at CHF 25. Under-26s and supporters receiving the Swiss state pension (AHV) or disability insurance (IV) pay 20% less, and under-16s pay half price. Children under six enter free with an adult but have no seat of their own. Holders of the KulturLegi, a Swiss pass for people on low incomes, get 50% off in Category 3 and the home standing sector when buying at the stadium box office.
Every price includes VAT and a CHF 1.50 security levy charged by the City of Thun, and tickets bought at the stadium box office on matchday cost CHF 5 more. Conference League tickets for the visits of Hearts and Gent match league prices, while the Hajduk Split match was priced higher, at CHF 82 for a Category 1 seat.
The figures below are club prices converted to pounds. Marketplace listings are priced by individual sellers, so always check the price, sector and delivery terms on the listing itself.
| Sector | Adult (CHF) | U26 / AHV / IV (CHF) | Under-16 (CHF) | Adult (Approx. GBP) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Category 1 (central West and East) | 63 | 50 | 32 | £57 |
| Category 2 | 45 | 36 | 23 | £41 |
| Category 3 (ends and corners) | 32 | 26 | 16 | £29 |
| Home standing sector G18 | 25 | 20 | 12 | £23 |

Yes. Thun sell league tickets to the general public, and no membership is required to buy. Single tickets are not personalised and can be passed on to another person, although a discounted ticket can only be used by someone entitled to the same discount, and proof of eligibility is checked at the turnstile.
The difference comes with high-demand matches. For European, cup and top league fixtures, season ticket holders get the right to buy before general sale, and the Südtribüne is reserved for Thun supporters, with fans in away colours refused entry. Visiting supporters buy through their own club or at the away box office on matchday.
For visitors who want seats confirmed early, or who are travelling for a sold-out match, a marketplace is the practical alternative. Where listings exist on 1BoxOffice, each one states the sector and delivery method, so read those notes carefully before buying.
A Thun season ticket, the Saisonkarte, covers home league matches, with prices for 2026/27 rising by CHF 10 because of higher levies. European matches are not included, but holders get first refusal on European, cup and top matches, 10% off in the club shop and free travel on local buses before and after each home game. Season tickets can be transferred to another person through the ticket shop, and holders of 2026/27 cards also received a flag celebrating the 2025/26 title. Supporters who paid early in spring 2026 were also given half-price entry to the club's first Champions League qualifier.
Memberships are separate. Fan memberships run from July to June and cost CHF 50 for the Kids Club (14 and under), CHF 100 for 15 to 17-year-olds and CHF 200 for adults. They include a welcome gift, tickets to the annual members' match and, for youth and adult members, an invitation to the general meeting of Verein FC Thun Berner Oberland. Club 1898, named after the founding year, costs CHF 1,898 plus VAT and includes matches in its own clubroom. Above that, the Club der Freunde starts at CHF 10,000 plus VAT, while the Härzbluet scheme, Swiss German for heart and soul, lets fans contribute whatever they choose.
| Sector | Adult (CHF) | U26 / AHV / IV (CHF) | Under-16 (CHF) | Adult (Approx. GBP) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Category 1 | 829 | 665 | 420 | £751 |
| Category 2 | 599 | 481 | 305 | £542 |
| Category 3 | 429 | 345 | 220 | £389 |
| Home standing sector | 329 | 265 | 170 | £298 |

A women's team season ticket can be added for CHF 60. GBP figures move with the exchange rate.
The Visana Stadion, known until 2026 as the Stockhorn Arena, is a compact four-sided ground with an artificial pitch. The Westtribüne is the main stand, with sectors A1 to A3 and B4 to B6 and the VIP lounges behind. Opposite, the Osttribüne holds sectors E11 to E13 and F14, along with the BEKB Family Corner in F15 and F16.
The Südtribüne is the home end, with the G18 standing sector at its heart and seated sectors G17, H19 and H20 alongside. It is reserved for Thun supporters only. The Nordtribüne houses the away sector, D9 and D10, with its own entrance and away box office, and the seated sectors C7 and C8.
| Stand | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westtribüne (A1 to B6) | Central views and hospitality | Higher | Main stand; Category 1 in the central sectors; lounges behind |
| Osttribüne (E11 to F14) | Side-on views | Higher to mid-range | Category 1 and 2 sectors; Club 1898 seats |
| BEKB Family Corner (F15, F16) | Families | Lower | CHF 25 adult and CHF 12 under-16 |
| Südtribüne (G17 to H20) | Atmosphere | Lower | Home end with the G18 standing sector; Thun fans only |
| Nordtribüne (C7, C8, D9, D10) | End view or away fans | Lower | Away sector D9 and D10 with its own entrance |
Switzerland's size makes away days manageable. Bern is under 20 minutes by train, Lucerne, Basel and Zurich are reachable within around one to two hours and even the longer trips to Geneva, Lugano or St. Gallen are day trips on the national rail network. Away tickets for league matches are usually sold through the host club's channels, with Thun's fan officers coordinating allocations.
The club's fan groups, including Block Süd, Aebikurve and Dopamin Thun, travel to away matches, and the club's fan liaison officer is the point of contact for travelling supporters. For European away matches, tickets are allocated by the host club through UEFA rules, with numbers limited.
| Topic | What to Know |
|---|---|
| League away tickets | Usually sold through the host club, coordinated by Thun's fan officers |
| Berner Derby | Bern is under 20 minutes from Thun by train |
| Long trips | Geneva, Lugano and St. Gallen are day trips by rail |

The stadium opened on 9 July 2011 with a 2–2 friendly against 1. FC Köln, replacing the old Stadion Lachen, and stands in the Allmend district of western Thun beside the Thun Süd exit of the A6 motorway. It opened as the Arena Thun, became the Stockhorn Arena in 2014, named after the nearby Stockhorn mountain, and took the name Visana Stadion in 2026 after the health insurer Visana bought the stadium company. Thun play there rent-free.
All of Thun's European home matches in 2026/27 have been played at the Visana Stadion rather than in Bern, and new floodlights costing CHF 630,000 were installed for the campaign. The pitch is artificial, which visiting teams note before every European tie.
Getting there is easy. Every match ticket doubles as a return ticket on local public transport in the Libero zones 700 and 701, from three hours before to three hours after the match. Bus line 3 runs from Thun station to the Arena Thun stop outside the stadium in about seven minutes, and matchday shuttle buses leave non-stop from the station every few minutes before and after the game. Walking from the station takes around 30 minutes.
Thun is well connected by rail. Intercity trains reach Bern in about 19 minutes, Interlaken in around 30 minutes and Zurich main station in under an hour and a half, while Zurich Airport is roughly an hour and 40 minutes away and Geneva around two and a quarter hours via Bern. Parking at the nearby Panorama Center costs CHF 10, with limited spaces.
Thun itself is worth the trip. The city of around 44,000 sits where the River Aare flows out of Lake Thun, about 30 kilometres south-east of Bern, and on a clear day the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau rise beyond the lake. Thun Castle, built around 1190 by the Dukes of Zähringen, now houses a history museum above the old town, and Schadau Castle stands in a park on the lakeshore, close to the Wocher Panorama. The 16th-century town hall overlooks the Rathausplatz, where supporters celebrated the 2026 title. Interlaken and the high Alps are half an hour away by train, so many visitors combine a match with a stay in the Bernese Oberland.
Accessibility is provided for. Wheelchair users enter free with a companion ticket at CHF 30, booked through club ticketing, with spaces in sectors B4, B5, F14, F15 and H19, and accessible parking with a lift is available at the Panorama Center. Stadium tours, lasting around 75 minutes and covering the away dressing room, players' tunnel, press room, Arena Lounge and pitch side, are available for groups of up to 25 by arrangement. A group of up to 15 pays a flat CHF 240 plus VAT, while larger groups pay CHF 16 per adult and CHF 12 per under-16.
Thun offer several hospitality options. The Arena Lounge includes a four-hour buffet with drinks and a main-stand seat for CHF 350 per league match plus VAT, and the Players Lounge costs CHF 500 per match. A full league season in the Arena Lounge costs CHF 6,250, with one parking card for every two tickets. Both lounges have been fully booked on a season basis, but they are also offered for the three Conference League home matches, at CHF 990 and CHF 1,350 respectively for all three. Groups can also book whole tables for European nights: CHF 1,790, CHF 2,350 or CHF 2,990 for six, eight or ten guests in the Arena Lounge, or CHF 2,500 for a table of six in the Players Lounge, all plus VAT.
Club 1898 is a more affordable option at CHF 169 per league match, including a Category 1 seat in the East Stand, while the Legends Pub hosts private groups of up to 20 with packages from CHF 250 to CHF 500 per person and a minimum spend of between CHF 3,500 and CHF 7,500. All hospitality prices exclude VAT, and league packages do not cover European, cup or play-off matches.
| Option | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Arena Lounge | Four-hour buffet, drinks and a main-stand seat | CHF 350 per league match plus VAT (about £317) |
| Players Lounge | Premium lounge with main-stand seating | CHF 500 per league match plus VAT (about £453) |
| Club 1898 | Lounge access and a Category 1 East Stand seat | CHF 169 per league match plus VAT (about £153) |
| Legends Pub | Private group packages for up to 20 guests | From CHF 250 per person plus VAT |
| Conference League packages | Arena Lounge or Players Lounge for all three home matches | CHF 990 to CHF 1,350 plus VAT |

Step4
Review the listing details
Read the seller's notes on sector, restrictions, entry requirements and delivery method before moving on. Check whether a ticket carries a U26, AHV or IV discount, because proof of eligibility is required at the turnstile.

Step6
Follow your order
Use track order to see the status of your booking and when your tickets will be sent. You will also receive email updates as the delivery date approaches.

Delivery method varies by listing, and each one states how the tickets will reach you. The main types are:
Always read the listing notes for the delivery type and any entry requirements before you buy. The club states that it may cancel tickets not bought through its own channels without a refund, so check the seller's notes on how the ticket was issued.
The club says the stadium opens 90 minutes before kick-off, and for high-demand European matches gates have opened 90 minutes ahead of an evening start: for the Dinamo Zagreb qualifier in July 2026, the turnstiles opened at 18:30 for a 20:00 kick-off. The helpdesk and club shop open two hours before kick-off, and the main box office stays open until half-time.
Single tickets are not personalised, but anyone holding a discounted U26, AHV, IV or under-16 ticket must show valid proof at the turnstile or be refused entry. The Südtribüne is for Thun supporters only, and anyone wearing away colours there will be turned away. Entry can also be refused to anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Bags larger than 25 by 25 by 25 centimetres, rucksacks, sports bags, umbrellas and helmets are not allowed, and neither are cans, glass or plastic bottles. Pyrotechnics, laser pointers, horns and megaphones are banned, face coverings are not permitted and smoking is limited to four marked zones on the concourse corners. Flags are allowed only on hollow plastic poles, and entry can be refused to anyone breaching the stadium regulations.

Thun's history is one of long waits and sudden leaps. The club spent most of the 20th century outside the top flight, reached the Champions League group stage within four years of promotion in 2002, dropped back into the second tier twice and then, in 2025/26, became the first promoted club to win the Swiss title in more than seven decades.
Thun were founded in 1898 and took more than half a century to reach the top division, finishing second in the second tier behind Lugano in 1953/54. Their first top-flight season ended in immediate relegation, but it also brought the club's first Swiss Cup final in 1955, lost 3–1 to La Chaux-de-Fonds. Thun then spent 15 seasons in the second tier before dropping to the third in 1970. Former Switzerland defender Andy Egli led them back to the second tier in 1996/97, setting the stage for the club's modern rise.
Hanspeter Latour, who had first coached the club between 1978 and 1983, returned to take Thun up in 2002, ending a 47-year absence from the top flight. Three years later they finished second behind Basel, earning a place in Champions League qualifying. Thun knocked out Dynamo Kyiv, drawing 2–2 in Ukraine with goals from Mauro Lustrinelli and Aegerter before winning the second leg 1–0 through a stoppage-time goal from Bernardini. Malmö were then beaten 1–0 away and 3–0 at home, with Lustrinelli scoring twice, to complete a 4–0 aggregate win and a place in the group stage.
Playing their home matches at the Stade de Suisse in Bern, Thun gave Arsenal a scare at Highbury, where Nelson Ferreira equalised before Dennis Bergkamp won it in stoppage time, and lost the return to a Robert Pires penalty two minutes from time. On 27 September 2005 Selver Hodžić scored a late winner against Sparta Prague for the club's first Champions League victory. The two meetings with Ajax ended in a 2–0 defeat in Amsterdam and a 4–2 loss in Bern, and a goalless draw in Prague left Thun third in the group on four points. They dropped into the UEFA Cup and beat Hamburg 1–0 at home before going out 2–1 on aggregate.
Relegation in 2008 was followed by an immediate revival under Murat Yakin, now Switzerland's head coach, who won the Challenge League in 2009/10 and guided Thun to fifth place and Europe the following season. In 2011/12 they beat Vllaznia and then knocked out Palermo on away goals after a 3–3 aggregate draw, before Stoke City ended the run 5–1 on aggregate in the play-off round. Urs Fischer, later a double Swiss champion with Basel and the coach who took Union Berlin into the Champions League, then led Thun into the 2013/14 Europa League group stage after wins over Chikhura, Häcken and Partizan, with a 1–0 victory over Rapid Wien among the group results.
Thun stayed in the top flight for most of the decade, losing a Europa League play-off to Sparta Prague in 2015/16 and a third qualifying round tie to Spartak Moscow in 2019/20, and reached a second Swiss Cup final in 2019, losing 2–1 to Basel. A year later the club was relegated after losing a play-off to Vaduz 5–4 on aggregate, despite winning the second leg 4–3 in Thun.
Five seasons in the Challenge League tested the club. Thun finished second at the first attempt in 2020/21 but lost the play-off to Sion 6–4 on aggregate, and lost another play-off to Grasshoppers in 2024 before Mauro Lustrinelli, a striker in the 2005 Champions League side, built a team that won the 2024/25 Challenge League by 11 points, sealing promotion with a 2–1 win over Aarau.
What followed was one of the stories of the European season. Thun led the Super League at the winter break, beat Young Boys 4–1 in January and were confirmed as champions on 3 May 2026, with three rounds to spare, when St. Gallen lost 3–0 at home to Sion. Players and supporters celebrated at the stadium and on the Rathausplatz in the old town. Thun finished with 75 points, five ahead of St. Gallen, becoming the first promoted club to win the Swiss title since Grasshoppers in 1951/52. Elmin Rastoder scored 15 league goals, Ethan Meichtry added eight, Michael Heule supplied six assists and goalkeeper Niklas Steffen played every league match. Thun won 24 of their 38 games and scored 80 goals, and home crowds ranged from 6,698 to a sell-out 10,014.
Success brought change. Lustrinelli joined Union Berlin, Ethan Meichtry moved to Genoa for a fee reported at around €4 million, Rastoder joined Panathinaikos and midfield leader Leonardo Bertone left for Luzern. Under Gian-Luca Privitelli, Thun took Dinamo Zagreb to extra time in Champions League qualifying, beat Víkingur Reykjavík 5–3 on aggregate and reached the Conference League league phase.
Thun's modern history has been shaped by a small group of players and coaches, several of whom still work at the club.

Thun's rivalries are shaped by geography and by the clubs that have stood in their way. Young Boys from Bern are the neighbours, while Basel and St. Gallen have been the rivals at the top of the table.
Thun against Young Boys is the Berner Derby, between two clubs from the same canton separated by a short train ride. The rivalry has rarely been more entertaining than in 2025/26, when the four league meetings produced 25 goals and two wins each: Thun's 4–1 victory in January effectively ended YB's title hopes, while YB won 8–3 in Thun shortly before the trophy presentation. See BSC Young Boys tickets for their matches.
Basel finished above Thun in 2004/05, when Thun were runners-up, and beat them 2–1 in the 2019 Swiss Cup final. Their visits to the Visana Stadion sell out, as the 10,014 crowd in September 2025 showed. Browse FC Basel tickets for their fixtures.
St. Gallen were Thun's closest challengers in 2025/26 and finished second, five points behind. Their 3–0 home defeat to Sion on 3 May 2026 confirmed Thun as champions, giving the fixture a fresh place in the club's story.
Vaduz, from Liechtenstein, beat Thun in the 2020 relegation play-off that sent them down. Promoted for 2026/27, they return to the Super League as opponents with a history that Thun supporters remember.
The past five seasons trace Thun's climb from the Challenge League to the title.
| Season | Summary |
