Bruce Springsteen is coming to Gelsenkirchen: concert ticket information and arrival!

An exciting event is coming! On June 27, 2025, the legendary Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band will shake up the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen. Part of his 2025 European tour, which starts in Manchester on May 17th, this is one of a total of three concerts in Germany. Fans can look forward to the energetic show after tickets went on general presale on October 9, 2024 and were sold out quickly. If you still don't want to miss out on the option of jumping on tickets, you can resort to resales via Ticketmaster and Eventim, as swp.de reports.

The Veltins Arena, known for its first-class acoustics and spectacular ambience, will open at 7:30 p.m. on the concert evening, although the exact entry time has not yet been published. Getting there is also exciting: there are around 14,000 parking spaces available for anyone coming by car. The ideal access routes are via the A2, exit 6 (Gelsenkirchen-Buer) and A42, exit 17 (Gelsenkirchen-Schalke). If you rely on public transport, you can use the light rail line 302 from Gelsenkirchen main station to the VELTINS-Arena stop. A special car is also offered for major events. There are also special stops such as Willy-Brandt-Allee for people with reduced mobility.

Tickets, hospitality and accessibility

Ticket prices are also an exciting topic. Hospitality tickets can be purchased through FC Schalke 04 for 349 euros. Tickets are available for people with disabilities (from 70 percent GdB) at a price of 178.60 euros, which can be purchased by phone or on site. It is important to note that walkers or crutches are only permitted in the seats. Exchanging indoor tickets may be necessary to ensure barrier-free access.

The anticipation for Springsteen's performance is huge, and the expansion of his European tour to include eight more concerts in cities such as Marseille, Prague and Milan is also causing excitement. Together with the concert in the Veltins Arena, the tour will not only mark his comeback to Germany, but also offer other unforgettable experiences in new cities, as veltins-arena.de reports.

The big picture

The announcement of this tour came shortly before the release of the film “Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band,” which will be available on both Hulu and Disney+ on October 25th. The trailer is available on BruceSpringsteen.net, and fans' curiosity is reaching new heights. The last US tour ended on September 15, 2023, and since then interest in Bruce Springsteen and his band has only increased, as en.veltins-arena.de notes.

So be ready, because on June 27th Gelsenkirchen will become a mecca for rock fans. The boss is back and the signs are good for an unforgettable evening!
