How to get Frankfurt vs Tottenham tickets for crucial Europa League tie - Football Ground Guide
Description

On Thursday, April 17, Eintracht Frankfurt will welcome Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur side to the Deutsche Bank Park for the second leg of the pair's crucial Europa League quarter-final tie.

The home side come into the two-legged fixture on the back of a relatively impressive domestic league campaign, sitting third in the Bundesliga and winning each of their last two matches.

For Spurs, the complete opposite is true. In a season blighted by injuries, the North London side have lost 15 Premier League games and currently sit in 14th place, 16 points adrift of those coveted top four spots.

With both teams keen to adopt an attacking style of play this fixture will almost certainly be entertaining regardless of which side comes out on top. For those still looking to secure a seat at the stadium on matchday, here is everything you need to know about how to get Frankfurt vs Tottenham tickets.

Frankfurt vs Tottenham tickets: Buying guide

Home tickets

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, all home tickets for this fixture have sold out and none are available to purchase. This is primarily because Frankfurt began their sales window for the game particularly early, with most season ticket holders securing their seat almost immediately.

Then, it was the turn of the standard members, who were able to purchase any remaining tickets for the game. This window began on March 17, which means members have already had over two weeks to secure their seats.

However, whilst purchasing your ticket through this route appears, at the very least, extremely difficult, there are other options available to you which will be discussed later in the guide.

Away tickets

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed an away allocation of 2,912 for this fixture, with tickets priced at £33 for adults. Many of these tickets are for the standing portion of the away section, however, seated tickets were also available upon request.

To be eligible for these tickets, Spurs supporters needed at least 271 ticketing points, and were also required to hold a season ticket with the club.

Unfortunately, the sales window has already closed, with successful applicants expected to be charged on April 4. All those who are successful will be emailed their ticket no later than April 15.

It is also worth noting that of the 2,912 tickets allocated to the club, 12 are wheelchair-user seats and 12 are easy accesses – all of which are located within the dedicated away section.

Hospitality

Perhaps rather uniquely, Frankfurt have sold out the vast majority of their hospitality packages for the entire 2024/25 campaign, and there are none available at all for this fixture at the time of writing.

However, we do recommend consulting the club's official ticketing portal regularly in case this changes ahead of matchday.

Frankfurt vs Tottenham tickets: Alternative options

If none of the methods above are proving fruitful, then one remaining option for supporters desperate to get their hands on Frankfurt vs Tottenham tickets is the third-party resale markets.

These websites often have a large collection of tickets for most fixtures, albeit at extremely inflated prices compared to what would be considered to face value. Two such websites are as follows:

Livefootballtickets

Seatpick

At the time of writing, Livefootballtickets currently have 45 tickets available for this game, the cheapest of which is a whopping €219.83.

The main concern with such sites is the authenticity of the tickets being sold. While many provide their own respective guarantees, you can never be too careful. If purchasing tickets through this method, we recommend you be diligent and always proceed with caution.

Whichever way you decide to secure your Frankfurt vs Tottenham tickets for this match, we hope you have an enjoyable matchday experience at the Deutsche Bank Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur fans in Alkmaar will hope to see their side make up for poor league form by continuing their adventure in the Europa League in Alkmaar.

For the Spurs fans, the Europa League offers one last chance to claim silverware this season and remain in Europe for next season. While one of the clear favourites for the rest of the tournament, Spurs will need to get past some tricky sides, and AZ Alkmaar will be no pushover.

How many Tottenham Hotspur fans are in Alkmaar?

Tottenham Hotspur fans in Alkmaar were given an allocation of just 950 tickets at the AFAS Stadium. There may be more than this number of fans travelling as Spurs fans look to soak in the European nights.

Where do the Tottenham Hotspur fans sit in the AZ?

The AFAS Stadion opened in August 2006 and has a seating capacity of 19,478. In UEFA competitions, it is referred to as the AZ Stadion, while some supporters call it the Victorie Stadion, a nod to a victory in the Eighty Years' War.

In August 2019, the stadium experienced a partial roof collapse, but fortunately, no one was injured in the incident. During the reconstruction, AZ played their home games in The Hague. A new roof has since been installed, and the stadium's capacity was increased from 17,023 to 19,478. More than a decade ago, following their success in the late 2000s under Louis van Gaal, AZ aimed to expand the stadium to 30,000 seats; however, this plan was not realized.

Away fans are seated in sections L and K.

One early warning for Spurs fans is that back in 2023 AZ Alkmaar was fined €80,000 for their fans attacking West Ham supporters in their UEFA Europa Conference League semi-final second leg in May.

Alkmaar banned 43 fans as a result, and several arrests were made. Spursfans should be fine, but they should use common sense to avoid trouble.

Where to eat & drink for Tottenham Hotspur fans in Alkmaar

Alkmaar is a small city with small bars, the best of which are in the Waagplein area. Many of these won't be welcoming to away fans and the Dutch police may limit entrance for away fans. However, Alkmaar is only a 40-minute train journey from Amsterdam where Spurs fans will be able to find a huge selection of large bars suitable for football fans.

If you are in Alkmaar, base yourself around Paardenmarkt, the designated zone for Spurs fans, and avoid “Platte Stenenbrug” bridge, where AZ fans tend to congregate. There will be food and drink stalls within Paardenmarkt for Spurs fans to eat and drink.

FGG says: All on the line for Spurs

It really is all or nothing for Spurs in Alkmaar. On paper, it's an easy game for the Premier League side, but given their form this season, it might be anything but. While they made it through the round of 16, they made it look complicated, dropping points to Rangers and Roma while losing to Galatasaray. While they did face Alkmaar already, it wasn't the most convincing victory in London. Spurs have a lot to do, and winning this trophy is going to get a lot more than luck.
