OPERATIONAL MAP
Stadium access – Allianz Arena
GETTING TO THE GROUND
For the Allianz Arena, take the U-Bahn line U6 towards Garching-Forschungszentrum and alight at Fröttmaning; the walk to the turnstiles takes about 15 minutes. For Grünwalder Stadion, take the U2 to Silberhornstraße or the U1 to Wettersteinplatz.
Warning: Paper tickets for the U-Bahn must be validated (stamped) before boarding; digital tickets are usually pre-validated, but fines for fare evasion are steep.
The away sector is located in the North Stand, specifically blocks 343-347 (upper tier). Access is strictly via the 'Eingang Gäste' (Guest Entrance) on the north-west side, separated from home fans via a footbridge.
PROHIBITED ITEMS
- Bags > A4
- Power banks > 100g (match dependent)
- Bottles of any material
- Professional cameras
CRITICAL
Payment inside is completely cashless (card or mobile only); a €2 deposit is charged on reusable cups. Access via Gate K.
Exit routes & evacuation
Separate footbridge leads to the U-Bahn or Bus park.
Exit via the main ramps to the bus parking (Nord).
MISSION LOGISTICS
Hub
Munich Airport (MUC)
Transfer
Take the S-Bahn lines S1 or S8 directly to Munich Hauptbahnhof or Marienplatz; the journey takes roughly 40 minutes.
Tip
The 'Airport-City-Day-Ticket' is often cheaper than a single fare and covers your transport within the city for the rest of the day.
RECOMMENDED ZONE
Away fans generally congregate in the city center where beer halls are abundant and transport connections are best. Marienplatz and the surrounding Viktualienmarkt offer traditional Bavarian food and large outdoor seating areas suitable for groups.
RECOMMENDED
Marienplatz / Altstadt offers good transport links and is generally safe for away supporters.
TACTICAL INTEL
GATHERING POINT
CENTRAL MEETING POINT
Marienplatz
The standard gathering spot for traveling support; it is spacious, police are accustomed to managing crowds here, and it offers direct S-Bahn/U-Bahn access to both stadiums.
POLICE PROFILE
HIGH ALERT
Munich police (USK) are known for being strict and zero-tolerance regarding pyrotechnics and public disorder. They frequently deploy heavy presence at the Hauptbahnhof and Marienplatz; avoid aggressive behavior as detention and strict enforcement are possible responses to non-compliance.
