Ticket-Buying Tips
Tickets to sporting events, including soccer matches, are best acquired through the Hamburger Sportbund (Hamburg Sports Association), Schäferkampsallee 1, 20357 Hamburg (tel. 040/419080). Theater-Kasse Reckewell, Einkaufcentrum shopping mall on Osterfer Landstrasse 1 (tel. 040/801013), can arrange virtually everything else. A third option, for cultural (not necessarily sporting) events, is to contact Hamburg's Tourismus Centrale (Tourist Information Office), in the "Wendelhalle" of the city's main railway station (tel. 040/30051300).
