Stadium rules

Even if you're a regular at the Arena AufSchalke, keep in mind the stadium will operate differently for EURO 2024 and rules may be different from what you're used to. Bags larger than A4 size won’t be allowed into the stadium. You can bring a small power bank, no larger than your phone. Make sure you have a valid form of ID on you (no copies). You may need to present it at the Ticketing Centre in case you have a problem with your match ticket, or if requested by public authorities. Remember that professional cameras and cane umbrellas are not permitted inside the stadium. However, you can bring a small, fully collapsible umbrella. All EURO 2024 stadiums are smoke-free venues. Therefore smoking, e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn tobacco products are not allowed. Please be considerate of other fans. Check out the full list of forbidden items in the stadium rules below.
