✅ Open sale
When: 2026/27 single tickets went first to Bayer 04 members in an early-bird phase (23 July-5 August); for 8 high-demand games (Bayern, Dortmund, Stuttgart, Gladbach, Frankfurt, Schalke, Bremen, HSV) access depended on membership length, while some lower-demand games went on general sale after 24 hours. A non-member can realistically only buy for lesser games or via the club's official ticket exchange. (Link is the club's homepage: its ticket shop is reached from the Tickets menu there.)
Club's 2026/27 matchday price tables are images only (six categories now, price category A vs Bayern, Dortmund, Köln, Schalke); GOAL guide (11 Aug 2026) says club adult singles are EUR 15-55 by stand and opponent.

Bayer Leverkusen plays its European "home" games here
🏆 European games 💳 Members only
How: Members only so far. For Besiktas (10 Dec): members on the season-ticket waiting list from 6 Nov (2 tickets), then season-ticket holders and members who joined before the 28 Aug draw from 10 Nov 12:00 (2-4 tickets, online queue, e-tickets only in the app). Newer members cannot buy; a general single-ticket sale is mentioned but has no date. The European season ticket (2,200) sold out within a week; earlier open sales (e.g. Celje) show the club sometimes releases games to everyone.
Prices are only in an image or PDF; not found. Season ticket is priced at price list C minus 20%.
European tickets on the official Bayer Leverkusen siteEuropean tickets are sold game by game, often early, in packages or only to registered fans, and many are sold out by now.
The labels: ✅ Open sale = ordinary league games reach general sale · 🟡 Rules vary = members go first, some games reach general sale · 💳 Members only = a club card or membership is effectively needed · 🪪 = named tickets. They describe the club's usual league games, not one particular match: derbies and big games can be much harder.
Only buy from the club or its official partners. Unofficial resale sites charge far more and tickets can be cancelled at the gate. Prices are a guide and change by opponent; the club's site has the real price.
Want it all sorted?
Hospitality means a guaranteed seat with food and drink, and it's the legal way to a sure ticket for a big game.
Leverkusen: official hospitality prices on the club's site, sold by the club or its authorised agents.
Stadium tours
