• There is a permanent ban on glass bottles in the vicinity of the stadium.

• Blocks 8, 60 and 61 (standing) in the lower tier of the north stand and 52, 55, 56, 58 and 59 (seated) in the upper tier are the guest blocks.
• It is possible to hand in bags and backpacks that are larger than DIN A4 at the “guest drop-off points” for a price of €0.50. These are located on the one hand opposite the guest entrance on the north side of the stadium and on the other hand on the turn path next to the Rote Erde stadium. After the end of the game, the “guest drop-off points” will be open for 30 minutes so that dropped off bags can be picked up.
• Since the 2019/2020 season, some of the folders have been equipped with a so-called “body flag”. In this way, the security service supports the paramedics deployed in the event of a possible medical emergency in the standing stands, including in the guest block. In the future, the body flag will be part of the security service’s equipment on the forecourt and at the entrances, which will provide paramedics with orientation to the scene if necessary.
• There is no alcohol limit in Signal Iduna Park. However, the Borussia Dortmund security service reserves the right to refuse entry to guests who are obviously drunk.
• The entrances and exits within the guest blocks must be kept clear.
• Payments in the guest area can only be made cashless. It is also still possible to purchase a “stadium cover” with which cashless payments can be made. From the 60th minute onwards, the remaining balance can be paid out at the designated unloading stations.
