- Pre-booking your spot is mandatory and no parking passes will be available to purchase on matchday. Cars without a parking pass will be turned away.
- City centre traffic will be extremely busy and it may take you much longer than expected to drive to the stadium. Set off with plenty of time to spare.
- Please note parking spaces may not be fully accessible. Dedicated accessible parking has been made available to Wheelchair and Easy Access ticket holders.
EURO 2024 climate fund
€5 from each booking will be donated to the EURO 2024 climate fund supporting climate protection projects.
If you have missed out on a parking pass for the semi-final, please make use of the P+R areas in Dortmund instead:
From 3 hours before kick-off until 100 minutes after the final whistle, a shuttle bus runs every 10 minutes from the car park to the stadium and back (10-minute bus ride).
The shuttle buses arrive at and depart from the Theodor-Fliedner-Heim bus stop. Please note that the arrival and departure points differ slightly.
