On Saturday (March 16th/3:30pm) SV Darmstadt 98 welcomes FC Bayern Munich and asks you to pay attention to the following information.
The game is sold out. There is no box office open on site.
Be sure to arrive on time.
The stadium circulation in the home area opens via the north-west entrance 2 hours before kick-off (see stadium opening for details)
Away fans (blocks X1, X2 and Y) must use the north-east entrance (Böllenfalltorweg).
Unfortunately, bringing in food and drinks is not permitted in Block Y.
The game starts at 3:30 p.m. The north-west entrance “Karl-Hess-Platz” opens two hours before kick-off (1.30 p.m.) so that you can already be in the area around the south and main stands.
Access to the stands and the back straight, the north stand and the guest block is possible from 2 p.m.
The parking garage for away fans opens at 12.30 p.m.
If possible, SV 98 asks all Lilien fans to come to the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor early and by public transport, on foot or by bike. The journey with the RMV is included in the ticket price.
For drivers from the surrounding area, it is advisable to go to parking garages or parking spaces in the city centre or neighbouring towns and then take the bus or train from there.
More information can be found here.
The stadium has four entrances, which are divided into home and away areas:
Arrival: Please pay attention to the detailed arrival information.
Based on recent experiences, SV 98 would like to draw attention to the following regulations and precautions that apply to this game:
Carrying fan paraphernalia of the visiting team is not permitted in the areas of the back straight (blocks G1-G3, O1-O4) and the south stand (S1 and S2). The club, the police and the stewards are entitled to refuse access to these areas to away fans, even if they are in possession of a valid ticket, and/or to expel these people from these areas and, if there is still enough space, in to the guest area of the stadium. If no other suitable seat can be offered, the affected guest fan may be expelled from the stadium or denied access to the stadium; In this case there is no right to compensation.
Note to fans of the lilies
SV 98 generally welcomes members using their right of first refusal to make people in their personal environment happy. For the future, however, he would like to point out that passing it on to fans of the visiting club can always be associated with potential security risks or even a reduction in the home advantage of the Lilies – you should not assume that you are the only Lilies fan who is doing others a favour.
The (profitable) resale of tickets is completely unacceptable, regardless of the means. If this becomes known, the ticket will be blocked immediately, the ticket will therefore become worthless for the buyer and there will be no claims for reimbursement. The SV 98 reserves the right to take further measures, such as blocking the season ticket, withdrawing membership or banning you from entering the premises. Instead, if you are unable to attend, you can use your own ticket exchange on sv98.de.
SV 98 is obliged to provide the visiting club with up to 60 tickets from the best category (main stand). Sales are the responsibility of the visiting club.
For this game, too, it is to be expected that the standing areas will be almost completely filled to capacity. SV 98 therefore asks all fans to arrive early and to occupy places as far away from the stairs and block entrances as possible from the moment the stadium opens. Under no circumstances should fans stand on the stairs or directly in the mouth hole. As a result, your friends in your block may not be able to get into the stands or, regardless of medical service operations, not be able to leave them without worry. It only works together!
Experience has shown that there are still gaps, particularly in the lower rows or the outer areas of the blocks, while it is at the block entrance at the start of the game. In addition, fewer general admission tickets were sold than would have been acceptable. Nevertheless, everyone’s support is needed to ensure a pleasant stay for all fans.
As in many stadiums, there are more and more requests for jerseys at the Bölle with creative signs and banners. These wishes honour the players who appreciate the efforts of the mostly very young fans. But unfortunately the inquiries have now become overwhelming across Europe, including here at the Bölle.
We therefore ask you to refrain from using jersey signs. See also the open letter from the team of SV 98 – SV Darmstadt 1898 e.V.
In cloudy conditions at the Bölle, the temperature climbs to a maximum of 13 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. With a chance of precipitation of 35 percent, light rain showers cannot be ruled out.
