According to The 42, Dortmund supporters have to pay €19.50 ($22.02 USD) for standing tickets and €38.50 ($43.48 USD) for the cheapest seats. Visiting fans are paying as much as €70 ($79.05 USD).

Dortmund led the German football Bundesliga in attendance last season with an average of 80,463 attendees per match.
