About
Football in Cologne
Cologne — Germany's fourth-largest city with just over a million residents on the Rhine, with a recorded history that stretches back to Roman Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium — keeps its football identity at 1. FC Köln, founded in 1948 from the merger of Kölner BC 01 and SpVgg Sülz 07. The club play at the 50,000-capacity RheinEnergieStadion in the Müngersdorf district west of the centre, and were one of the sixteen founding members of the Bundesliga at its 1963 inaugural season. Köln's most successful era came in the 1970s under Hennes Weisweiler, including the 1977–78 league and DFB-Pokal double — the club's only Bundesliga title — and the famously raucous Karneval atmosphere remains the loudest in the league. Beyond football, the LANXESS Arena (20,000) hosts the bulk of Germany's biggest indoor concert tours and the annual Cologne marathon draws around 25,000 runners through the cathedral district. Cologne Carnival in February is among the largest street festivals in Europe. Köln Hauptbahnhof — beside the cathedral — connects to RheinEnergieStadion via S-Bahn and tram in about fifteen minutes.
Köln (Cologne) — Germany's fourth-largest city with a population of around 1.1 million on the Rhine — is home to 1. FC Köln, founded in 1948 and one of the founding members of the Bundesliga in 1963. The club's red-and-white billy goat mascot Hennes (Hennes IX is the current incumbent) is led around the pitch before every home match and is one of the oldest live-animal mascots in European football.
1. FC Köln play at the RheinEnergieStadion in the western Müngersdorf district — capacity 50,000, rebuilt in 2004 and one of the twelve venues for the 2006 World Cup. The four floodlit pylons at each corner are a Cologne skyline landmark visible from across the western city. The ground is reached by U-Bahn U1 to RheinEnergieStadion station (10 minutes from Köln Hauptbahnhof) or by S-Bahn S12 / S19 to Müngersdorf Technologiepark.
The Rheinisches Derby against Borussia Mönchengladbach is the season's defining match for FC Köln supporters and one of the older rivalries in German football, dating to the 1960s. Köln's matchday culture is Carnival-rooted — the club's home games on the weekend before Rosenmontag (Carnival Monday in February) are played in fancy dress by tens of thousands of supporters and have become one of the most photographed fixtures in the Bundesliga calendar. The club anthem Mer stonn zo dir, FC Kölle by the local Höhner band is sung before every match.
Köln itself runs the largest Carnival celebration in Germany (the week before Lent in February-March), Köln Pride in early July, and the Lanxess Arena — Germany's largest indoor arena at 20,000 capacity — hosts year-round arena tours, ice hockey (Kölner Haie) and handball. The annual Gamescom video games trade show in late August draws around 350,000 visitors to the Koelnmesse, making it one of the city's busiest event weeks.

Which venues host events in Cologne?
Anyseats lists every event venue in Cologne on its dedicated city hub — clubs, arenas, race circuits and concert venues.
Can I get last-minute tickets for Cologne events?
Most Cologne events stay live on Anyseats until doors open. Mobile-entry tickets usually arrive 24-72 hours before the event, and every order is guaranteed to arrive before it starts.
Are Cologne tickets on Anyseats authentic?
Listings come from verified sellers. The 200% Buyer Guarantee covers ticket non-delivery and ticket-related denied entry that cannot be resolved in time. We first try to provide comparable or better replacements. When that is not possible, you get 100% refunded, plus 100% back in credit. Events cancelled by the organiser without a replacement date are refunded in full instead.
How do I find concert and music tickets in Cologne?
Browse the music section for artists and concerts, then check the event's venue and date to confirm it is in Cologne. Open an event to compare available ticket options. An artist may play several cities or several nights at the same venue, so check the specific performance before booking.
Do ticket prices for Cologne events include fees?
The price you see is the price you pay. Our fee is already included in every price on the site, so nothing is added at checkout.
When will my Cologne event tickets arrive?
Tickets usually arrive 24-72 hours before the event and are guaranteed before it begins. Some issuers release tickets closer to the start time.
What happens if an event in Cologne is postponed or cancelled?
If an event is postponed or rescheduled, your ticket stays valid for the new date. If an event is cancelled outright with no replacement date, you're refunded in full for the tickets and any mandatory order fees, to your original payment method - automatically. A cancellation by the organiser is outside our control, so it is covered by that full refund rather than by the 200% Buyer Guarantee.
Can I book several events during a trip to Cologne?
Yes. Compare the event dates and venues before booking each event separately. Leave time for travel, entry queues and any delays between venues. Football dates and kick-off times can change, so check whether the schedule is confirmed before arranging your trip.
Can children attend events in Cologne?
Age limits and entry rules depend on the event, venue and ticket category. Check the event information and the venue's rules before booking, including whether each child needs a ticket, whether an adult must accompany them and whether standing areas have a minimum age.
How do I choose seats for an event in Cologne?
Open the event page and compare the available sections and listing notes. Check the view, seated or standing entry, any restrictions and the number of tickets offered together. For football, also check whether the listing is for home, away or neutral seating.
How do I check accessibility for a Cologne venue?
Check the venue's accessibility information for step-free routes, wheelchair spaces and companion-ticket arrangements. Confirm that the specific ticket category meets your requirements before booking; a standard seated ticket does not necessarily provide access to a wheelchair space.
