Unprecedented: Bayern Munich Tickets Remain Unsold!
In a surprising turn of events, Bayern Munich's upcoming home game against Hoffenheim has yet to sell out, with tickets still available just a day before the match.
Bayern Munich, renowned for consistently selling out their home games well in advance, is facing an unexpected situation ahead of their first home match of 2025 against Hoffenheim. As of Tuesday, fans noted with astonishment that 68 tickets remained available for the Wednesday night fixture at the Allianz Arena.
Typically, matches involving Bayern, including high-profile clashes like those against Borussia Dortmund, are sold out months before the season commences, with remaining tickets distributed to club members via lotteries. The current scenario, where tickets are still on sale so close to matchday, is indeed rare for the German giants.
For context, the upcoming Saturday game against Wolfsburg has only 16 tickets left, and the Champions League home fixture against Bratislava on January 29 has a mere 8 tickets available. The lack of enthusiasm for the Hoffenheim match, who currently sit 15th in the league standings, might explain the slower ticket sales, despite Bayern starting the new year with a 1-0 victory over Gladbach and securing the autumn championship with 16 matches played.
Interestingly, Bayern had announced the availability of tickets for this game on their website as early as Friday. More surprising is the situation in the secondary market, where members can resell their purchased tickets. As of Tuesday, there were still 8,017 tickets available—a highly unusual number for a club of Bayern's stature. In major games, secondary market tickets typically sell out within seconds.
