TICKETS 1. FSV MAINZ 05 VS SC FREIBURG

MEWA Arena is a modern landmark in Mainz, defined by clean lines, a compact footprint, and excellent sightlines from almost every seat. The stadium is built to keep the crowd close to the action, so the energy rises fast—whether you’re here for football or a major live show. That mix of contemporary architecture and an intimate event feel is exactly what makes it such a standout venue in the region.

Inside, everything is geared toward comfort and flow: strong acoustics, a clear sense of structure, and an intuitive layout make moving around easy, while food and drink options let you settle into a classic matchday (or concert-night) routine without rushing. Comfortable seating, clear signage, and well-managed entrances help you focus on the moment, not the logistics.

You’ll find the stadium at Dr.-Martin-Luther-King-Weg 1, Mainz, Germany. Getting to the entrances is straightforward, with clearly marked approach routes and visitor zones; many guests arrive by car using nearby parking options or by public transport to stops in the immediate area, then follow the signage for a short final walk to the turnstiles.

Mainz, a charming city on the Rhine, stands out as an appealing hub for sporting showdowns and major concert experiences in the region. The mix of urban energy, tradition, and a relaxed vibe makes it a great choice when you want to turn a trip into a full night out, not just a quick stop for an event. With varied dining, a strong local wine culture, and accommodation for different budgets, it’s easy to build a plan that includes both a good dinner and a comfortable night’s rest. Visitors often appreciate how easy the city is to navigate and its well-kept feel, which keeps the whole stay smooth and low-stress.

One of Mainz’s biggest advantages is connectivity: the city network Mainzer Mobilität (buses and trams) makes it simple to get around key areas, and the system is integrated into Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV), which helps when combining routes across the wider region. The main rail gateway is Mainz Hauptbahnhof (Mainz Hbf), with frequent regional services and S-Bahn links to nearby cities, while the most practical airport arrival point is Flughafen Frankfurt am Main, from which Mainz is an easy, no-fuss journey. Whether you’re heading to MEWA ARENA or to city venues such as Rheingoldhalle and Halle 45, the logistics are clear and well organized, and driving in is further supported by fast road connections.

If you’re coming for an event, take the chance to enjoy Mainz beyond the stands: wander the Altstadt with its narrow lanes and squares, stop by the impressive Mainzer Dom, and soak up the city’s rhythm at Marktplatz. The promenade along the Rhine is perfect for unwinding before a show or for a laid-back “after,” and areas like Kirschgarten deliver that photogenic, old-European charm. That way, any match or concert trip can easily become a complete city break, with plenty to do both before and after the main event.
