RB Leipzig
€15–€85rough guide from fan sites, not official: check the club's site
✅ Open sale
When: Phase 1 is for season-ticket holders and members, phase 2 is the public sale (free RBLogin account needed, no paid membership); singles are released a few weeks to a month before the game, and Bayern/Dortmund games often sell out in phase 1.
GOAL guide (22 Sep 2026): standing EUR 15-25, cat. 3-4 EUR 25-45, cat. 1-2 EUR 50-85 through club channels (its FAQ says up to EUR 100). Official price list not readable (ticket shop blocked automated reading).
Buy on the official RB Leipzig site🏆 European games ✅ Public sale
How: Club ticketing says tickets go by priority (regular fans first, then season-ticket holders and official fan club members, then free sale), and a free sale only happens if tickets are left or security rules allow. For the Man City home game the first phase went to season-ticket holders and members and free sale opened the next day (free sale from 29 Sep). Tickets are online only, digital in the RBL Ticket app. Lens home game has group tickets drawn 10-14 days before.
from €18adult, a European league-phase game (see the note)
Only a floor found: tickets from EUR 18 for Man City and from EUR 16 for PSV (club news pages, via search summary; no maximum found). Club pages and shop returned 403 or empty (JavaScript) when fetched directly, so the sale order comes from search summaries of rbleipzig.com news, not a page I read in full.
European tickets on the official RB Leipzig siteEuropean tickets are sold game by game, often early, in packages or only to registered fans, and many are sold out by now.

The labels: ✅ Open sale = ordinary league games reach general sale · 🟡 Rules vary = members go first, some games reach general sale · 💳 Members only = a club card or membership is effectively needed · 🪪 = named tickets. They describe the club's usual league games, not one particular match: derbies and big games can be much harder.
Only buy from the club or its official partners. Unofficial resale sites charge far more and tickets can be cancelled at the gate. Prices are a guide and change by opponent; the club's site has the real price.
Want it all sorted?
Hospitality means a guaranteed seat with food and drink, and it's the legal way to a sure ticket for a big game.
