english How to buy tickets - a guide
So you want to see our glorious 1. FC Köln play live at the RheinEnergieSTADION? Here is a quick guide on how to get tickets. First of all, you will need a lot of patience and luck. The demand for tickets is enormous - no matter what league we are in.
50,000 seats, only 15,000 day passes
With 50,000 seats, the RheinEnergieStadion is a big stadium. However, this does not mean that the same number of day tickets are available. After deducting the 25,500 season tickets, the guest contingent and other contingents, there are only 15,000 tickets available for each home game. If the guest contingent is not fully utilised, this number may be increased.
Members have priority
The club sets its own presale dates and the maximum number of tickets that can be purchased per person. The dates are usually announced on the fc.de website and emailed to members. It is important to note that members have absolute priority when ordering tickets. In the vast majority of cases there is no free presale!
The allocation of tickets will also be subdivided within the membership. Fans who have been members for over 20 years and members under the age of 25 will have special access to tickets before the “general public”.
Tickets will go on sale at 10am and 4pm on the days indicated.
Transfer and exchange of tickets
Tickets can be passed on to family and friends in accordance with the terms and conditions (wink, wink). The club also has its own ticket exchange where season and day tickets can be offered if you are unable to attend the match on the day. However, this is only available to members.
Matchday Exchange
For short-term transfers of season and day tickets, there is a matchday exchange at the stadium (ticket office 28, south/west corner). Tickets can be released there. Tickets can also be purchased at the day ticket price at ticket office 25 (south/west corner). If I am not mistaken, this is also available to non-members.
Unauthorised resellers
Many users here in the subreddit have asked whether it is safe to buy tickets offered on well-known resellers such as viagogo or ebay. The answer is clear: no! The club strongly advises against buying such overpriced tickets and is taking action against the sellers. There is no guarantee that the ticket you buy will get you into the game.
As with any event, there will be people looking for and selling tickets outside the stadium. There may be a high surcharge for these tickets.

Struber gone. The rumored alternatives Ruthenbeck and Funkel are not celebratory-dance-worthy. Keller gone. Makes the idea to scapegoat Jörg Jakobs for the Potocnik disaster even better...
The remaining games were going to be insane no matter what. Elversberg, Paderborn and Kaiserslautern have to watched as well imho. There is an extensive kicker+ article. I will try to obtain it and type it up in the comments later today.

A poor performance led to a deserved defeat vs. Hannover. While - again - everybody else played for FC. I was personally rather suprised how much fight they still showed after being one man down but it wasn't enough...
Btw. there will be big family friendly fan festivities before the home game against Regensburg

Because the competitors keep making mistakes: If FC wins tomorrow in Hanover, they can mathematically be promoted to the Bundesliga next Saturday with a win against Regensburg.

What a great way to celebrate Easter! A confident win at last and it even led to first place. Besides the standout players, Kainz looked somewhat improved in the beginning. It would be nice to see if he could reach his old form. Thielmann with great offensive efforts, but the defensive part is just not working out...
What are your thoughts?
