Hansaplatz will open three hours later, and the game will be shown in front of a 53sqm screen for free, like Fredenbaum-Platz. Finally, Westfalenhallen 3 and 4 will open their doors at 18:00 CEST. This venue can hold 11,000 spectators and will have live music and a DJ for entertainment. Tickets to watch the match at this viewing spot cost just over €9.
Dortmund offer travel advice for supporters
A cultural festival called “Extrashicht” and a beer festival will take place on the same day at Friedensplatz in Dortmund. As a result, public transport will be busy in the city, and the club have provided fans with travel advice on 1 June.
Dortmund said: “On 1 June, the “Extraschicht” cultural festival and a large beer festival will take place at the same time on Friedensplatz, so public transport will be crowded at times. All DSW21 light rail lines will run longer and take passengers from the city centre to the outer districts until at least 01:00 CEST. The U45 will run to support the U41 to “Fredenbaum” or from “Fredenbaum” until after 01:00 CEST.

“On the U45/U46 lines, DSW21 will operate two-car trains every 10 or 15 minutes from 18:00 CEST onwards. Due to construction work, the U43 light rail trains coming from Dorstfeld/Stadtmitte will only run as far as Wambel/Pothecke. From the “Rüschebrinkstraße” stop, DSW21 will operate buses to and from Wickede.”
