Hamburg SV tickets: prices, fixtures and how to watch HSV at Volksparkstadion

After seven consecutive seasons in the 2. Bundesliga, Hamburg SV finally returned to the Bundesliga last season, finishing 13th. The club are now looking to build on that campaign, with supporters able to watch HSV at Volksparkstadion by booking tickets for forthcoming matches.

Hamburg SV strengthened their squad during the summer, signing, among others, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Fabio Vieira, Albert Grønbæk and Martin Adeline. Their Bundesliga start was difficult, including three consecutive defeats without scoring, but HSV secured a significant 2-1 victory over 1. FC Koln before the international break in front of 57,000 spectators at Volksparkstadion.

How to buy Hamburg SV tickets

Official tickets for Hamburg SV’s home matches are sold through the club’s authorised channels. They are released gradually, rather than for the entire season at once, usually four to six weeks before each fixture.

Club members receive first access through an exclusive pre-sale window. This normally opens at 10am Central European Time on a working day announced by the club. Any remaining tickets then go on general sale. High-demand fixtures, including matches against Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayern Munich, can sell out during the members’ window and may not reach the wider public.

Supporters can also look to the secondary market. StubHub is one of the main alternative suppliers for fans seeking seats closer to matchday.

Volksparkstadion history and major moments

Volksparkstadion is one of European football’s historic grounds. The site originally housed Bahrenfelder Stadion, later known as Altonaer Stadion, which opened in 1925. After suffering severe damage during the Second World War, it was rebuilt by the city and reopened in 1953 as Volksparkstadion, meaning “People’s Park Stadium”. Hamburg SV officially moved there in 1963.

By the late 1990s, the old multi-purpose stadium had become outdated. A completely new football-specific ground was built on the same site, with the pitch rotated 90 degrees to improve sightlines and provide better protection from the wind.

The stadium hosted the politically charged “German derby” at the 1974 World Cup, when East Germany beat eventual champions West Germany 1-0. At the 2006 World Cup, it staged five matches, including Argentina’s 2-1 win over Ivory Coast and Italy’s 3-0 quarter-final victory against Ukraine.

The 2010 UEFA Europa League final, the first after the competition was renamed from the UEFA Cup, was also played there. Atletico Madrid beat Fulham 2-1 after extra time. At UEFA Euro 2024, Volksparkstadion hosted five games, including France’s quarter-final penalty shootout victory over Portugal.

For decades, a digital clock in the north-west corner recorded Hamburg SV’s time in the top flight. The club had been known as the “dinosaur” because it was the only side never to have been relegated from the Bundesliga since its creation in 1963. When HSV finally went down in 2018, the clock stopped at 54 years, 261 days, 00 hours, 21 minutes and 13 seconds before eventually being dismantled.

Hamburg SV records and honours

Hamburg SV, also known as “Die Rothosen” and “Der Dinosaurier”, are among Germany’s oldest and most successful clubs. Their golden era came in the late 1970s and 1980s, before the historic 2018 relegation and several seasons in the second tier. They returned to the Bundesliga in 2025/2026.

Their honours include six German championships or Bundesliga titles, won in 1923, 1928, 1960, 1979, 1982 and 1983; three DFB-Pokal trophies, in 1963, 1976 and 1987; the European Cup in 1983; and the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1977.

Manfred Kaltz holds the club appearance record with 741 matches, followed by Uwe Seeler on 581. Seeler is also HSV’s leading scorer with 490 goals, ahead of Herbert Wojtkowiak’s 154.

In the disputed 1922 German championship final against 1. FC Nurnberg, the match was stopped after three hours because of darkness. The replay also ended prematurely after Nurnberg were reduced to seven players through injuries and red cards. Hamburg SV were awarded the trophy but officially declined the title on sporting grounds.

England great Kevin Keegan played for Hamburg from 1977 to 1980 and won the Ballon d’Or in successive years, 1978 and 1979, while representing the club.

HSV’s crest is a distinctive blue, black and white diamond reflecting the club’s historical mergers. The team traditionally wears white shirts with bright red shorts, giving rise to the nickname “Die Rothosen”, or “the Red Shorts”.
