German Cup History

The first German Cup tournament was held in 1935 under the title of Tschammer Pokal. Nurnberg dominated Schalke 04 in the final to be the inaugural German Cup winners. Since then, the format has changed ever so slightly but the weight and mentality of the cup has stayed. The most successful club in the competition is Bayern Munich, with 18 titles to their name.

Average Ticket Prices and Attendance for the German Cup

Attendance to German Cup games has traditionally always been high thanks to large domestic fan bases. Last years highest attendance was for Hertha BSC, with an average attendance of 76,000. As a result, tickets to German Cup matches often sell out quickly, so if you want to get to a game then you need to act quickly.

How to Obtain Your German Cup Tickets

With such a huge audience, the German Cup is, unsurprisingly, a sell-out event. As a result, getting a match day ticket requires a little effort and diligence. There are several options regarding where to get tickets to the German Cup, which have been discussed below:

From the source

German Cup tickets are put up on sale at the box office around one month prior to a game being played. It is important that if you want to buy directly from the club box office then you act quickly and get ahead of the crowds if possible.

Join as a member

If you want to get ahead of the crowds without lots of planning, then you can join a club membership. For a fee, you can get first access to tickets to German Cup matches before general audiences. This is only useful if you intend to go to several games in the cup or the Bundesliga, as the extra fee is redundant otherwise.

Ticket scalps

It is a crime to purchase or possess a scalped ticket, so it is advised to avoid this channel when purchasing German Cup tickets. Ticket touts are known for selling fake tickets, robbing customers and even harming them. So be safe and avoid the touts on match day.

Ticket exchanges

Thanks to the advent of the internet, ticket exchanges have flourished over the past few years. By providing a platform for legitimate ticket resales, these vendors have created a safe environment for people looking to buy and sell tickets to German Cup games. Some of the best resellers are Ticketbis, StubHub and Viagogo.
