Ticket sales for the women's northern derby: Werder against HSV in the Weserstadion!

SV Werder Bremen started selling tickets today for the long-awaited women's northern derby against Hamburger SV. This duel will take place on the 6th matchday of the new season between October 10th and 13th. The exact date is still to be determined, but the anticipation is already great. Dike room reports that advance sales will open for Werder fans next Monday. There is enthusiasm in the air, especially with Birte Brüggemann, the head of women's and girls' football. She hopes that the Weserstadion will be full with 37,000 spectators.

Just a few months ago, at the cup duel in Hamburg, the women's football game made it into the history books with an impressive 57,000 fans. The high number of spectators speaks volumes about the growing interest in women's football. As part of this duel against HSV, Werder Bremen aims to reach a sold-out house.

Record-breaking signs

While there is already a lot of interest in the tickets in Bremen, the tickets can initially only be purchased by members and season ticket holders. There is a lot of catching up to do, because how 90min reported that over 44,000 tickets were sold for the northern derby that took place on March 23rd. This means that the game in Hamburg's Volksparkstadion - with a capacity of 57,000 seats - could possibly set a new attendance record. The previous record comes from the cup final in Cologne, which attracted 44,808 spectators.

The last northern derby took place on February 27, 2022, when Bremen retained the upper hand with a narrow 3-2 win. Werder Bremen goes into the upcoming derby as favorites and is currently in eighth place in the women's Bundesliga. HSV is currently playing in the 2nd Bundesliga and has made statements there on the way to promotion. So there is a lot of explosiveness in the game, which only increases the anticipation.

A trend that continues

The growing enthusiasm for women's football is also noticeable in the sales figures for tickets for the Bundesliga. Just recently, FC Bayern sold over 40,000 tickets for the opening game, which is a new record for the Bundesliga. FFootball sees this as a clear trend: interest in women's football in Germany is constantly growing and fans are becoming increasingly hungry for more.

Werder Bremen fans should get their tickets as quickly as possible. The kick-off for the exciting duel is still a long way off, but the cards are already very important. The exact date will be communicated soon. With so many signs of a sold-out stadium, nothing stands in the way of the football festival.
