Up to 30 euros more than in the previous season: Hannover 96 is increasing the prices for season tickets. What the fans think about it.
In the end it wasn’t quite enough for the 1st Bundesliga, Hannover 96 will remain second class in the 2026/2027 season. The ticket prices for the stadium will still be increased: season tickets will soon cost up to 30 euros more, depending on the category.
Many fans find this unjustified. In a t-online survey, more than one in three respondents (36.9 percent) stated that they found the increase unfair and felt exploited as a fan. According to their own statements, 12.8 percent can no longer afford to buy a season ticket. Another 6.9 percent of those surveyed are still thinking about the next step: They probably want to change or cancel their season ticket.
