Allianz Arena away end: Guide and key information for Arsenal fans travelling to Bayern Munich

Arsenal supporters travelling to the Allianz Arena for their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich can expect one of Europe's most impressive football venues, with the famous Sudkurve creating an intimidating atmosphere on matchdays.

Located on the northern outskirts of Munich, the 75,024-capacity stadium is easily accessible by public transport, although supporters should leave plenty of time for the journey to and from the ground.

Visiting fans benefit from dedicated entrances and a clearly designated away section, while many travelling supporters choose to gather in Munich city centre before heading to the stadium.

FootballGroundGuide takes a look at everything away fans need to know before visiting the Allianz Arena.

Where is the Allianz Arena away section and what is it like?

Away supporters are usually housed in the upper tier of the North Stand, in blocks 347 to 340 on the east side.

Despite the noise, the Allianz Arena is generally a safe, well-organised venue for visiting supporters. Clear signage, separate away entrances and standard security checks help make entering the ground a straightforward process.

Follow the away-fan signs and arrive early for security checks.

What is Arsenal's away ticket allocation for Bayern Munich?

The number of tickets available depends on demand from the visiting club.

The standard away section covers blocks 347 to 340, with block 242 sometimes available for domestic league and cup games.

Arsenal received 3,794 tickets for this fixture, priced at £34.30 for adults.

How to get to the Allianz Arena away end

From central Munich, travel to Marienplatz and take the U6 underground line to Frottmaning. The station is around a 15-minute walk from the stadium, and the journey from Marienplatz takes about 30 minutes. Travel early to avoid crowds on the U6 and expect busy trains after the match.

If driving, then arrive via the A9, take exit 73 for Munchen-Frottmaning-Süd; from the A99, take exit 12b for Munchen-Frottmaning-Nord.

Follow signs for Away Fans Parking. Parking costs €12 (£10) booked in advance or €15 (£12.50) on the day. On-site machines are available, but pre-booking helps avoid queues, and there is no guarantee of a space if waiting until the day of the game.
