One of the standout fixtures of the Champions League league phase now has its ticket picture in focus. Bayern Munich host Arsenal at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, October 21, the official prices are known, and the away end is already gone.
The game is on Matchday 3 and kicks off at 9pm local time, 8pm in the UK. The two clubs met in last season's league phase too, when Arsenal won 3-1 in November 2025, so Bayern have a result to put right in front of their own crowd.
Bayern's face-value prices are set by category. The best seats in the central main stand cost 130 euros, side stands 110 euros, and corners and outer blocks 90 euros. Upper-tier seats behind the goals are 60 euros, and a standing place in the Suedkurve is 19 euros. Club members pay 2.50 euros less in each seated category.
Getting one of those tickets is the hard part. Bayern distribute their general tickets through an online request system that gives priority to members and season ticket holders, not through an open first-come sale, and a game of this size leaves very little over. The club also runs an official Ticket Exchange where season ticket holders can resell seats, and it stays open until three hours before kick-off.
For travelling supporters the news is simpler. Arsenal received 3,794 tickets, priced at 34.30 pounds for adults, and sold them in order of away loyalty points. That allocation has now sold out.
Fans without access to either club's sale can compare current listings for Bayern Munich vs Arsenal at the Allianz Arena on Infotickets.
Three tips for this one. Check Bayern's Ticket Exchange regularly in the final week, since returned seats appear there at face value and go within minutes. If you buy in a home section, do not wear away colours: stewards in Munich can refuse entry to visiting fans in home blocks. And plan your journey to the stadium early, because the U6 underground line to Froettmaning is packed from about two hours before kick-off.
Nineteen euros to stand behind the goal for a game like this is a reminder of how differently German clubs price their football. The catch is that almost nobody outside the membership gets the chance to pay it.
