SV Darmstadt 98 informed all season ticket holders about the season ticket procedure for the 2026/27 season on Wednesday (May 6th) and would also like to share this letter on the club's own website.
Dear Season Ticket Holder,
You don’t need to do anything this year if you simply want your season ticket to remain unchanged from last season! It will automatically renew in your current block (and seat) and with your applicable discount level (members, please see further information regarding this). Should you have any changes you would like to make to your season ticket, you will also have the opportunity to submit them in due course.
For the new season, we are adjusting the prices for day tickets and season tickets. A guiding principle of recent years has been further strengthened: members continue to benefit from significantly reduced prices compared to non-members. To reflect this, a new member category has been introduced, which is cheaper than discounted season tickets. New members also now have the opportunity to take advantage of this benefit.
The adjustment for day tickets is between €1 and €2 per game for members, depending on the category (for non-members, an additional €1 per game). Since season ticket prices are derived from day ticket prices, the corresponding adjustments for season tickets are also based on this.
The reasons for this decision include the significantly increased costs associated with organising our home match days over the past few months. Personnel and service provider costs, in particular, have risen noticeably. Furthermore, as a registered association, SV 98 continues to rely heavily on operating revenue, including ticket sales. This revenue not only funds home matches but also contributes to ensuring the club’s overall business operations.
Despite this necessary adjustment, we understand that any price increase represents an additional burden for many fans. We therefore appreciate your loyalty and support all the more, especially during these times of rising costs.
Season Ticket Process for Summer 2026:
1) Cancellation deadline: May 20, 2026
2) Letter sent to all 2026-27 season ticket holders with information about the transfer period
3) Transfer period for all season ticket holders expected from May 21st to June 5th, 2026
4) Sale of new season tickets to club members only (mid-June)
5) Direct debit payment (mid-June)
6) Season tickets sent out (early/mid-July)
Should you wish to cancel your season ticket subscription, you have until May 20th to do so. Otherwise, the season ticket will automatically renew for the 2026/27 season.
As in previous years, SV 98 is offering season tickets at a significantly reduced price for people with limited financial means through its Fan and Supporter Department (FuFa). Interested parties can contact the FuFa by email viasozialfonds@fufa-sv98.de
Get in touch. Furthermore, SV Darmstadt 98 is once again distributing free season tickets to low-income individuals through the city of Darmstadt this year.
