On Saturday evening (April 26th/8:30pm), SV Darmstadt 98 will host the team from SV 07 Elversberg and asks you to take note of the following information.
Kick-off is at 8:30pm. The stadium opens 90 minutes prior.
The parking garage for away fans opens at 5:30pm.
SV 98 requests that all Lilies fans arrive at the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor early, if possible, using public transport, walking, or cycling. Travel on the RMV (Rhine-Main Transport Association) is included in the ticket price.
The stadium has four entrances, which are divided into home and away sections:
The game is sold out. Members and season ticket holders can still purchase remaining tickets for the home section via the ticket exchange.
Parking fees in parking lots P7 (guest buses) and P8 (cars, minibuses up to 2m) are payable in cash.
Please be sure to read the Arrival Information and only use the „North-East“ entrance on Böllenfalltorweg.
Coaches should contact our fan support team in advance to receive directions.
Arrival by train is via regular Deutsche Bahn trains to Darmstadt Central Station. From there, change to the VIAS Odenwaldbahn towards Groß-Umstadt/Wiebelsbach and get off at the TU-Lichtwiese stop. After a walk of approximately 15 minutes, you will reach the away entrance of the stadium. For matches where a large number of away fans are expected to arrive by train, shuttle buses will be available at the main station to take you directly to the stadium (away section) and back to the main station after the match. Please use the WEST exit at the main station (take the stairs up to the gallery from the platform and then turn right to the exit). The shuttle buses will be waiting at Europaplatz, located directly in front of the station.
During recent matches, we have observed an increasing number of cups being thrown, and as a result, we will not only receive penalties from the DFB (German Football Association) sports court but have also had to issue numerous nationwide stadium bans of up to two years.
Please refrain from throwing objects! You are endangering others and committing dangerous bodily harm under Section 224 of the German Criminal Code. It is irrelevant whether someone is actually hit and injured by the cup.
The consumption of cannabis remains prohibited under current legislation (prohibition in sports facilities).
Based on recent experiences, SV 98 would like to draw your attention to the following rules and precautions that apply to this match:
Wearing away team merchandise is not permitted in the areas of the opposite stand (blocks G1-G3, A, O2-O4) and the south stand.
The club, the police, and the stadium management are authorized to deny away fans access to these areas, even if they possess a valid ticket, and/or to remove them from these areas and, if sufficient space is available, to take them to the away section of the stadium. If no other suitable seat can be offered, the away fan in question may be removed from the stadium or denied entry; in this case, no compensation will be provided.
SV 98 generally welcomes members exercising their right of first refusal to bring joy to people in their personal lives. However, they caution that in the future, transferring tickets to fans of the visiting team can always involve potential security risks or diminish the home advantage of SV 98 – one shouldn’t assume one is the only SV 98 fan doing others a favour. Advance ticket sales are exclusively for members and fans of SV 98. Anyone who uses their right of pre-sale to supply away fans must expect a restriction of their preferential rights, up to and including the revocation of their season ticket/membership, in accordance with the known ticket terms and conditions.
The (profitable) resale of tickets is completely unacceptable, regardless of the method. If discovered, this will result in the immediate blocking of the ticket, rendering it worthless to the buyer as well, and no refunds will be issued. SV 98 reserves the right to take further action, such as blocking season tickets, revoking membership, or issuing stadium bans. If you are unable to attend, you are welcome to use the ticket exchange at sv98.de.
SV 98 is obligated to provide the visiting team with up to 100 tickets in the best category (main stand). The visiting team is responsible for selling these tickets.
This match is also expected to see almost full standing room. SV 98 therefore asks all fans to arrive early and, as soon as the stadium opens, to take up positions as far away from the stairs and block entrances as possible. Under no circumstances should fans stand on the stairs or directly in the entrance area. Your friends in your block may not be able to get into the stands or leave safely – regardless of medical assistance. We can only succeed together!
Experience shows that there are usually still gaps in the lower rows and on the outer edges of the blocks, while there is a bottleneck at the block entrance at kickoff. Furthermore, fewer standing tickets were sold than permitted. Nevertheless, everyone’s cooperation is needed to ensure a pleasant experience for all fans.
Temperatures are expected to reach 15 degrees Celsius with cloudy skies. The probability of precipitation is zero percent.

A new match under the floodlights awaits! On Saturday evening (April 25th, 8:30pm), Darmstadt 98 play against SV Elversberg. What are the coaches' opinions before the game? Who will referee, broadcast, and commentate the match? And what kind of weather can Darmstadt fans expect at the stadium? All the information is compiled for you in "Matchday Guide."
What are Florian Kohfeldt's thoughts on Saturday evening's match (April 25th/8:30pm) against SV Elversberg? Where does he see the strengths of their upcoming opponent? And how does his team plan to get back on track after three consecutive defeats? The Darmstadt head coach answered these and other questions at the press conference on Friday (April 24th) in the catacombs of the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor. We've summarised Kohfeldt's key statements from the press conference for you.
In the world of football, a yo-yo team is a team that oscillates between two leagues – too good for one league, but not quite at the level of the next higher one. The result is usually many promotions and many relegations. But SV Elversberg is currently redefining the term. For several years now, the yo-yo has been taking SVE almost exclusively upwards.
Saturday evening at the Böllenfalltor, the seventh edition! This time, SV Darmstadt 98 hosts SV Elversberg at the Merck Stadium. Both teams are strong offensively and convincing defensively. But where do the differences lie? And in which statistics do both the team from southern Hesse and the Saarlanders lead the pack? We've compiled all the facts and figures for this match right here for you.
The news that Fabian Holland will no longer play for Darmstadt at the end of this season affected everyone at the club. We take a look at it. Also exciting this week: The U17s host Eintracht Frankfurt's youth team in Pfungstadt today, Wednesday (April 22nd/5pm) for the Hessian derby in the Hesse Cup; the Darmstadt first team will wear members' jerseys against SV Elversberg next Saturday (April 25th/8:30pm); and the Darmstadt VIP box has been temporarily converted into a yoga camp. "Darmstadt Across the Board" on Wednesday is available here.
The end of an era. Fabian Holland's twelfth season in the Lilies' jersey will be his last with SV 98. The 35-year-old's contract, which expires at the end of the season, will not be renewed. The club informed Holland of this decision in a confidential meeting. Both club and player agree to focus entirely on achieving the best possible end to the season until the final match and that any plans for a farewell celebration will depend on how the rest of the season unfolds.
Extremely bitter. The SV Darmstadt 98 U21 team unfortunately came away empty-handed last Saturday (April 18th) visiting KSV Baunatal: The young Lilies conceded the decisive goal late in stoppage time, resulting in a 1-0 final score. Darmstadt had managed to hold their own against the fourth-placed team in the Hessenliga for almost the entire match. "A very bitter defeat after a really good performance," explained U21 coach Sebastian Schmitt to sv98.de.
Attention is already turning to the away match against SC Preußen Münster. On matchday 33, SV Darmstadt 98 will visit the Preußenstadion on Sunday (May 10th, 1:30pm). Advance ticket sales for club members begin next Wednesday (April 22nd) at 12:00pm. All ticket information can be found in this announcement.
Our premium partner ENTEGA is once again providing unique stadium experiences this season. For every home game, you can win two VIP fan seats in the main stand and also gain access to the ENTEGA VIP lounge. The application deadline for the match against Elversberg is Thursday (April 23rd) at 12 noon.
Returning to southern Hesse empty-handed, SV Darmstadt 98 suffered a 3-2 away defeat against Greuther Fürth. Particularly bitter: the Lilies twice took the lead in Franconia but ultimately succumbed. How do the two head coaches assess the 90 minutes? What do captain Marcel Schuhen and Kai Klefisch have to say about the loss? We've compiled all the post-match reactions for you.
No points in Franconia. After conceding two late goals, Darmstadt 98 lost 3-2 (1-1) to SpVgg Greuther Fürth.
Away game in Franconia. On matchday 30 (April 19th/1:30pm), Darmstadt 98 will visit SpVgg Greuther Fürth. Florian Kohfeldt has made three changes to his starting eleven compared to last week. Isac Lidberg and Kai Klefisch return to the team after serving their suspensions, and Marco Richter also moves into the starting lineup. Matthias Bader will miss the match with a minor shoulder problem.
