81,365 fans are set to attend on Saturday – including around 8,000 visitors from Frankfurt. Ticket holders who cannot make it at short notice can sell via the BVB Secondary Ticket Market until 12:00 CET on Saturday and thus give other fans the opportunity to come to the stadium.

It is expected there will be increased traffic and car parks will fill up early on. The Intermodellbau fair and a Helene Fischer concert are taking place in the neighbouring Halls of Westphalia. The local public transport network is laying on additional trains, with unscheduled stops at the stadium set to complement the scheduled transport. More on that here.
