On Sunday (19.10/13.30) SV Darmstadt 98 will host 1. FC Magdeburg 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 Lilien fans to arrive at the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor early, if possible, by public transport, on foot, or by bike. The journey by RMV 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. The last remaining tickets for the home section can be purchased via the Ticketshop. A ticket office for the guest area will open when the stadium opens.
A parking fee in cash is payable at parking areas P7 (guest buses) and P8 (cars, minibuses up to 2m):
Please pay attention to the detailed Arrivval Information and uses only 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 remains prohibited under current legislation (ban in sports venues).
Based on recent experience, SV 98 would like to draw your attention to the following rules and precautions applicable to this match:
The wearing of fan paraphernalia of the visiting team is not permitted in the areas of the opposite stand (blocks G1-G3, A, O2 to O4) and the south stand.
The club, the police, and the OD are entitled to deny access to these areas to visiting 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 visiting fan may be removed from the stadium or denied access to the stadium; in this case, no compensation is payable.
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 12 degrees Celsius are expected in Darmstadt, with cloudy weather. The probability of precipitation is 15 percent.
