Dresden in athletics fever: DM tickets for Saturday sold out!

Athletics fans in Germany can look forward to a real spectacle: The German Championships will take place this year from July 31 to August 3, 2025 in the Heinz Steyer Stadium in Dresden. The event is part of the multi-sport event “The Finals 2025” and is eagerly awaited. Athletics.de reports that there has already been exuberant demand for ticket prices for Saturday - the day has long been sold out, but remaining tickets for Sunday and for the all-around competitions on Thursday and Friday are still available. Spectators have free entry to the east and west curves on these days.

What can visitors expect in Dresden? A total of 133 titles in 20 sports will be awarded over four days. Competitions in the classic athletics disciplines are planned in which both men and women will show their skills. The event not only promises exciting duels, but also serves as preparation for the World Championships in Tokyo in September. The quality of the participating athletes is therefore particularly high: among the expected stars are Olympic champions such as Yemisi Ogunleye and long jump world champion Malaika Mihambo, as well as sprint heroine Gina Brückenkemper and 100 meter record holder Owen Ansah.

Practical tips for viewers

Getting there could be a challenge for some visitors, as parking spaces around the stadium are severely limited. Organizers therefore recommend using the Park & ​​Ride car parks and local public transport. Tickets entitle you to use public transport free of charge until 4:00 a.m. the following day, which makes your journey easier. Nearby stops such as the congress center and Weißeritzstrasse are easily accessible.

For everyone coming to the stadium on competition days, the opening times are as follows: Thursday at 11:30 a.m., Friday at 10:00 a.m., Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and Sunday at 11:00 a.m. The box office opens 15 minutes in advance. There are two entrances to the stadium, with the main southeast entrance being particularly designed for wheelchair users, who can use a ramp to Block F.

Conditions and notices

Visitors are allowed to bring small snacks and a one-liter PET bottle per person. If you're thirsty, you can refill your bottle at a free water point in the stadium. To ensure a pleasant experience for all visitors, backpacks of up to 30 liters are permitted, while larger items of luggage should ideally be stored in the car or train station locker. Strollers are allowed but must be dropped off at a collection point and unattended strollers will be removed for safety reasons. The event also has a strong presence on social media, with reports and live streams on ARD and ZDF, so no one has to miss the action.

Another overview of the championships: The competitions begin on Thursday with the all-around events (decathlon and heptathlon) and end on Sunday with a crowning finale in which 32 individual titles and two relay titles will be awarded. This makes Dresden the center of German athletics for four days and an absolute must for every sports enthusiast in Germany.

All that remains to be said for all athletics fans is: secure your tickets in time and look forward to an exciting weekend! For further information and discounts, schoolchildren, students and pensioners can take advantage of special ticket offers that are proving to be particularly popular. In order not to miss any of the big highlights, you should head to Dresden now!
