DFB Cup fever: secure your tickets for the 2025/2026 season!
In a few weeks things will get serious for the fans of FC Energie Cottbus. The eagerly awaited DFB Cup game against Hannover 96 will take place on August 16, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the LEAG Energie Stadium. In order for the supporters to actually be there, they have to take action in good time. The start of pre-sales is planned for calendar week 30 and there are some important deadlines to note.
The focus is particularly on season ticket holders and club members who enjoy the right of first refusal for the game. In order to benefit from this, new members must submit their application by July 6, 2025 at the latest. This is crucial to secure a place in the cup game. Members who are unsure about their email address are invited to contact Member Services to avoid misunderstandings.
Deadlines that should not be ignored
Season ticket holders should not hesitate: they must purchase their season ticket by July 15, 2025 in order to keep their usual seat. After this period, subsequent buyers are no longer entitled to their usual place at the DFB Cup game. For those who do not yet have a season ticket for the 2025/2026 season, the last opportunity to purchase one depends on the game schedule and ends on the last Sunday before the first league home game.
In addition, it should be noted that the seat season tickets from the 2024/2025 season will remain reserved until July 3, 2025. The unsold seats will then go on sale again. If you would like to purchase a season ticket, you can do so both online and by telephone.
A good opportunity for all spectators
The advantages of membership in the club should not be underestimated. Members and season ticket holders not only have the right of first refusal on tickets for the DFB Cup first round game, but also on other exclusive sales phases. What stands out here is the opportunity to take part in the home games of the senior national team. Members only pay 15 euros in certain blocks behind the gate, while the normal price is between 25 and 45 euros. This saves you up to 30 euros per ticket, which corresponds to the annual fan club fee. Such savings can be quite significant if you visit the stadium frequently, as [dfb.de](https://www.dfb.de/fans/fanarbeit-nationalteamsen/fanclub/member- Werden/gewinne-der-memberschaft/exklusive-ticketverkaufphasen) reports.
The speed of your registration can be crucial for many fans. If demand is high, the date the order is received will determine the distribution of tickets. So if you have a good knack for organization, you will be able to get the best seats. This applies to both the DFB Cup and other national games.
The FC Energie office will be closed on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 and will reopen its doors on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Here, fans can clarify their inquiries and obtain the necessary information about membership and tickets in order to be optimally prepared.
So if you plan not to miss the cup game, you should get your membership as soon as possible. So nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable football evening in the LEAG Energie Stadium.
