Important info
For club members with the mark B in their disability ID, a separate lottery procedure for the allocation of places for people with disabilities takes place. Wheelchair, standing, and seated places are available. Registration for this occurs within the communicated deadlines for the respective lottery procedure via this form.
Please note:
- Participants in the lottery procedure must send a copy of their disability ID, including the front and back, via email to Union (handicap@fc-union-berlin.de).
- Participation in the lottery procedure for people with disabilities and the mark B excludes participation in the "normal" lottery procedure for the remaining places. If participating in the normal lottery procedure, no ticket for an accompanying person can be guaranteed.
- In case of winning the lottery, the ticket for an accompanying person will be automatically added.
Notification of the win/loss will be sent via email. The tickets (including the accompanying ticket) along with the invoice will also be sent by email no later than 48 hours before the respective match. - For all members with a disability ID but without the mark B, participation in the "normal" lottery procedure is mandatory.
