Arrival

  • The stadium opens at 14:00 CET.
  • We recommend arriving by 14:30 CET so that everyone can be in their seats in time for the start of the programme with more than 70,000 spectators.
  • A warm-up begins at 16:00 CET.
  • The official programme starts at 16:30 CET and will consist of two 45 minute sessions with a 15-minute break in between.

Travelling by public transport:

  • The ticket to the event allows the holder to travel with no additional charge on public transport for the Dortmund city area (fare zones 37/38).
  • As these are Print@home tickets, the tickets must be called up separately via the DSW21 portal, as for Bundesliga matches.
  • The light rail services will operate in the same way as for BVB matches, including additional services on lines U45 and 450 (Westfalenhallen - Schanze). The additional E-cars on lines 448 and 453 will also be running.
  • The Uni-Shuttle will be offered.

Travelling by car:

  • The (chargeable) public car parks A, C, D, E and F are open; most of the A car parks are occupied due to parallel events at Messe Dortmund. We therefore recommend travelling by public transport or using other car parks if travelling by car.
  • The Luftbad car park may only be used by persons with the appropriate parking authorisation.
  • On the day of the event, there is a parking ban on Strobelallee.
