Individuals holding tickets can legally re-sell their season passes or single-day tickets via the BVB ticket shop if they are unable to attend at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. There’s no need to physically surrender tickets, as they can be electronically deactivated and later reactivated. This resale option is provided for all sold-out home games.

Referee: Aytekin Takes Charge

Deniz Aytekin, a former FIFA official, will referee his 38th, and possibly final, Bundesliga match involving Borussia Dortmund. His record with the team boasts 21 victories, six draws, and ten defeats. Aytekin, who plans to retire at the season’s end, will be supported by assistant referees Christian Leicher and Dr. Martin Thomsen. Pascal Müller will act as the video assistant referee (VAR). This will be Aytekin’s first match involving BVB in nearly a year, as he previously officiated their away game against Leverkusen (4-2) on the second-to-last matchday of the last season, marking his fifth time refereeing this fixture.

Arrival: Ticket Includes Travel

BVB and DSW21 continue to offer a unique service in the Bundesliga: the match ticket for SIGNAL IDUNA PARK allows for free travel to and from the stadium throughout North Rhine-Westphalia. This provision also extends to holders of plastic season tickets. However, those with a “Print@Home ticket” or a “mobile ticket” (such as via Apple Wallet) will need to obtain a complimentary public transport ticket online, in addition to their match entry ticket.
