Children's Four-Euro Ticket Excludes Seated Tickets on Schalke Trains - Subsidized train travel for children: Childcare certificates remain in place for Schalke
In an exciting move to make football more accessible and affordable for young fans and their families, FC Schalke 04 has announced that it will offer lap tickets for home games in the upcoming 2021-2022 Bundesliga season.
This offer, which was successfully trialed in the second half of the previous season, is open to children aged up to and including 5 years old. The cost of a lap ticket is only €4, making it an affordable option for families.
The opposing teams will be responsible for purchasing the lap tickets for their young fans. These tickets allow young fans to sit on an adult's lap during the game, providing a unique and enjoyable experience for both the child and the parent.
The lap ticket offer is applicable only for home games in the Bundesliga and excludes standing and VIP areas.
Starting each matchday week on Monday mornings, fans can request lap tickets for their children. For the first home game of the season, this is against Hertha BSC, and requests can be made starting July 28th at 10:00 AM.
The lap ticket offer may also extend to visiting fans' children, subject to the opposing team's implementation.
To obtain a lap ticket, fans can request it through the club's official website, ticket office, or service center. The specifics of how visiting fans can request lap tickets have not been detailed yet.
FC Schalke 04 encourages families with young children to take advantage of this offer and experience the thrill of live football together. For the most accurate and updated information on ticket offers, including lap tickets for children, fans are advised to check directly with FC Schalke 04’s official ticketing channels or customer service.
The European Parliament, the Council, and the Commission, being the governing bodies of European football leagues, might discuss the impact of this lap ticket offer on youth involvement in the sport. This initiative by FC Schalke 04 of offering affordable lap tickets for children could soon be seen in other European-leagues' stadiums, fostering a more inclusive football environment.
