On Sunday (24.08/13.30) SV Darmstadt 98 welcomes Hertha Berlin and asks you to observe the following information.
Kickoff is at 1:30pm. The stadium opens 90 minutes prior.
The parking garage for away fans opens at 10:30am.
SV 98 asks all fans to arrive early, if possible, and to use public transport, on foot, or by bike to the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor. The RMV journey is included in the ticket price.
The stadium has four entrances, which are divided into home and away areas:
The game is almost sold out. Remaining tickets may still be available for purchase through the Ticketbörse. The guest section is sold out.
A parking fee is payable in cash at parking lots P7/P8:
Please pay attention to the detailed Arrival Information and only use the „North-East“ entrance on Böllenfalltorweg.
Coaches should contact our fan support team in advance for directions.
Last season, we observed an increase in the throwing of cups, and as a result, we not only received penalties from the DFB Sports Court for this, but also had to issue numerous nationwide stadium bans.
Please refrain from throwing objects! You endanger other people and are committing grievous bodily harm according to Section 224 of the German Criminal Code. It doesn’t matter whether the cup actually hits and injures someone.
The consumption of cannabis is still prohibited under current legislation (ban in sports venues).
Based on recent experiences, SV 98 would like to draw your attention to the following rules and precautions that apply to this game:
Wearing 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.
The club, the police, and the stewards are entitled to deny access to these areas to away fans, even if they have a valid ticket, and/or to remove them from these areas and, if sufficient space is still available, to relocate them to the away section of the stadium. If no other suitable seat can be offered, the affected away fan may be removed from the stadium or denied access to the stadium. In this case, no compensation is payable.
SV 98 generally welcomes members using their pre-emptive right to provide a gift to those close to them. However, in the future, it cautions that passing tickets on to fans of the visiting club could always pose potential security risks or even diminish the Lilies‘ home advantage – one should not assume that one is the only Lilies fan doing others a favour. Pre-sales are exclusively for SV 98 members and fans. According to the established ticket terms and conditions, anyone who uses their pre-emptive right to provide tickets to visiting fans must expect a restriction of their preferential rights, up to and including the revocation of their season ticket/membership.
The (profitable) resale of tickets, regardless of the means, is completely unacceptable. If discovered, this will result in the immediate cancellation of the ticket, rendering it worthless for the purchaser as well, and no refunds are available. SV 98 reserves the right to take further measures, such as cancelling season tickets, revoking membership, or banning the ticket from the grounds. Alternatively, if you are unable to attend, you are welcome to use the dedicated ticket exchange at sv98.de.
SV 98 is obligated to provide up to 100 tickets in the top category (main stand) to the visiting club. Sales are the responsibility of the visiting club.
The standing areas are expected to be almost completely full for this game as well. SV 98 therefore requests all fans to arrive early and reserve seats as far away from the steps and block entrances as soon as the stadium opens. Fans should never stand on the steps or directly in the entrance area. As a result, your friends in your block may not be able to access the stands or leave them safely – regardless of medical services. It’s only possible together!
Experience has shown that there are still gaps, especially in the lower rows or the outer areas of the blocks, while congestion builds up at the block entrance at the start of the game. Furthermore, fewer standing tickets were sold than would have been permissible. Nevertheless, everyone’s support is needed to ensure a pleasant experience for all fans.
Temperatures of around 21 degrees Celsius are expected in Darmstadt, with sunny weather. The probability of precipitation is zero percent.
