Free season tickets for low-income people
This year, SV Darmstadt 98 is again providing free season tickets for the coming 2024/2025 season. The season tickets are valid for the Lilies' home games and are available to low-income people from Darmstadt.
Mayor Barbara Akdeniz expressly welcomes the fact that SV Darmstadt 98’s long-standing social commitment will continue even after relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga. “By continuing this tradition, Darmstadt residents with low incomes will be able to actively support their “Lilies” at home games in the following season. I would like to thank those responsible at the club for this.”
Michael Weilguny, Managing Director of SV 98: „We see ourselves as a club that the city and region should unite behind. This also includes taking on social responsibility and ensuring that people of all income levels have access to the Lilies‘ home games. That’s why we have been providing free tickets to socially disadvantaged people for many years and would like to continue this club practice in the coming season.”
For the joint campaign by the association and the science city of Darmstadt, interested citizens residing in Darmstadt can contact Ms. Henßel by telephone at the Office for Social Affairs and Prevention (Tel.: 06151/13-34 75) until June 28, 2024, 12 p.m ),
Apply for the tickets to Ms. Reinhardt (Tel.: 06151/13-32 64) or by email (amt-fuer-sociales-und-praevention@darmstadt.de).
The prerequisites are that the applicant is of legal age and has a valid participation card. If more applications are received than there are tickets available, the lottery will decide.

Disappointment & pride
Darmstadt's 2-1 defeat at Karlsruher SC also ended any remaining theoretical hopes the South Hessian club had of finishing the season in the top three. The loss at the Wildpark stadium served somewhat as a symbol for the past few weeks, during which SV 98 had only managed one point from five matches since the international break in March. Following the game on Sunday afternoon, the Darmstadt players addressed the assembled media representatives with mixed feelings.
