This 49,000-capacity football stadium is home turf for the Hannover 96 football club. You can pick up available tickets at the ground on the same day for league matches or anytime from the DB service point inside the Hauptbahnhof. Those with extra tickets (scalpers if it’s a big match) sell them on the tree-lined alley leading to the ground.
Follow the stream of fans or take tram 3, 7 or 9 from Hauptbahnhof to Waterloo and follow the signs for about 500m, or else take bus 100 from Kröpke to the HDI-Arena stop.
