Munich Football Arena: “Festplanade” 🎉
During the UEFA Champions League final, the stadium's iconic esplanade will be turned into the 'Festplanade'! It's the perfect place to enjoy the pre-match buzz with a DJ, saxophone player, roaming entertainment, an Official Shop to stock up on all your merchandise, on-screen entertainment from the two finalists and much more. There will also be local specialities, such as pretzels, sausages, drinks and more for a truly Bavarian experience. All the excitement starts at 17:00!
All tickets will be mobile and will be delivered on the UEFA Mobile Tickets app a few days before the match.
Make sure you have the app on your phone to download your ticket. If you have multiple tickets, we highly recommend transferring them before heading to the stadium.
The initial recipient of the tickets will be responsible for transfers on the app, using the TRANSFER button.
The person who receives the ticket will not be able to transfer it further. However, they can send the ticket back to the initial recipient by clicking on the RETURN button.
